This document specifies the general requirements and provides the reader guidance, recommendations and requirements for changing from a linear economy to a circular one by focusing on the general principles of circular design for fishing gear and aquaculture equipment, situating them in the current context of the European circular economy.
This document also specifies the stakeholders and their relationships with each other in a general context, as well as for the different parts of the series of standards to which this part belongs.

This document specifies the requirements for the user manuals and other information (including labelling) that accompanies circular designed fishing gear and aquaculture equipment, to ensure traceability and proper management during the lifetime of fishing gear components.
This document is applicable to all fishing gear and aquaculture equipment makers, providing gear or equipment that include plastics.

This document specifies the technical requirements for the components of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment (hereafter termed 'gear') which contain plastics. It will establish the material principles and processes that enhance the circularity and recycling of the plastic components of gear and the materials comprising the components of the gear, taking into account the impact of such requirements on gear utility. The technical requirements for the design of gear focuses on:
— Development and selection of materials and components;
— Reduction in the use of virgin plastics;
— Manufacture/assembly/disassembly;
— Use, maintenance, repair, re-manufacturing and refurbishing;
— Storage, transport; and
— End-of-life including recycling and upcycling.
Excluded from this document are design aspects related to enhancement of the capture of fisheries. This is unless such design reduces the utility of the gear for capture fishing or aquaculture techniques or management.

This document specifies the environmental and circularity requirements for the components of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment which contain plastics. It will establish sustainability principles that minimize the negative impact of the plastic components of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment on the environment, taking into account the impact on its performance (e.g. catchability or life span). The circular and environmental design of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment focuses on:
— selection/ sourcing of materials and components
— manufacture/assembly
— placement/ installation/ deployment of the gear/ equipment
— use and maintenance repair
— end-of-use stage
Transport, storage and distribution are taken into account at the different stages, where applicable.
Excluded: Design aspects related to fishing or aquaculture techniques or management.

This document provides guidance and fundamental principles for the development of circular business models for fishing gear and aquaculture equipment.
It highlights opportunities for value retention, product life extension and recycling of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment.

This document specifies requirements and guidance for the hardware and software for digitalization of product information of circular designed fishing gear and aquaculture equipment.
