Abbreviations used in this document in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2023/2006: QA : Quality Assessment SOP : Standard Operating Procedure SOP code : a SOP code is comprised of two numbers, the number of the SOP and the number of the document in which it is described in the format SOPNr – DocNr; the document number shall correspond to the document number listed in Section 2.3, the SOP number to the numbering system of the recycler. 1.   SECTION 1: IDENTIFICATION The numbers (RIN, RFN, RON, RAN, NTN) referred to in this section shall correspond to the numbers in the Union Register laid down in accordance with Article 24 of Regulation (EU) 2022/1616. 1.1    Identification of the recycling installation Installation name   Applied recycling technology in accordance with Annex I   EU Register number (recycling installation number, ‘RIN’)   Facility Address   Recycling Facility Number (‘RFN’)   Contact details   Position/Role of contact persons   Relevant national register numbers, if any   Notification date (Article 25(1)(a))   1.2.    Identification of the recycler Company Name   EU Register number (Recycler Operator Number, ‘RON’)   Address of the head office   Contact details   Position/Role of main contact person   Relevant national register numbers, if any   Authorisation holder? (Yes/No/Not applicable)   1.3.    Recycling process authorisation Decision or novel technology A: identification of the authorisation Decision or novel technology used by the process that the installation applies: EU Register number, i.e. Recycling Process Authorisation Number (‘RAN’), Novel Technology Number (‘NTN’)   B: authorisation holder or novel technology developer Name of authorisation holder  ( *1 ) / of the technology developer  ( *2 ) as applicable   Address   Contact details   Position/Role   1.4.    Document references used by the European Food Safety Authority (‘EFSA’) EFSA Question number   EFSA Publication date of the opinion   EFSA Publication number (output number)   Confidentiality Decision number   Confidentiality Decision date   1.5.    Additional responsible person(s) for the operation of the recycling installation Name Position/Role Contact details       2.   SECTION 2: OPERATION OF THE RECYCLING INSTALLATION 2.1.    Written Statements A maximum of 3 000 characters including spaces shall apply both to Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 2.1.1    Recyclers’ statement explaining the production and quality of the recycled plastic 2.1.2.    Recycler’s statement explaining correspondence to the authorised process This section is applicable only to authorised processes. 2.2    Recycling operations at the recycling facility The following information shall be provided in this section: — A diagram of the main manufacturing stages that are part of the recycling process and which are carried out at the recycling facility (‘site diagram’); — A table describing those manufacturing stages and the material streams connecting them carried out at the recycling facility and corresponding to that diagram. 2.2.1.    Diagram of the main manufacturing stages carried out at the recycling facility (site diagram) 2.2.2.    Description of the main manufacturing stages carried out at the recycling facility and the streams connecting them Stage Number Name Description Average Processed Tonnage per year                 Stream Number Name Description Average Stream size                 2.3.    Internal Documents Provide a comprehensive list of documents relevant to the operation of the process and quality management and other administrative procedures related thereto, as well as documents related to the authorisation. The documents shall be numbered and these numbers shall be used in Section 3 to refer to these documents. The recycler may apply its own numbering system. Document type Document Number Related production stage Title Description Date, version, author                         2.4.    Batch definitions The following batches shall be defined in accordance with the table below: — Entry Batch: the unprocessed plastic entering the recycling facility from suppliers; — Input Batch: input plastic processed at the facility entered at the decontamination stage; — Output Batch: the recycled plastic resulting from the decontamination stage; and, — Exit Batch: the recycled plastic (or recycled plastic materials and articles) leaving the facility for further processing or use. — Any other intermediate batches corresponding to a QA check. Where either the entry or input batch is the same because no further QA checks take place, only the input batch shall be defined. The same approach shall be used for the output and exit batches. Where there are different types of entry and or exit batches, these shall be defined separately, and be given a meaningful name.
