9、5858:2009 CEN/TR 15858:2009 (E) 2 Executive summary Most EU Member States protect their environment by general regulatory requirements not to pollute. Some place requirements on the RDS content within the environment, e.g. within the indoor air, and a few Member States place requirements in notified

10、 regulations on the release/emission of RDSs from construction products. As these Member State regulations may be regarded as a barrier to trade in construction products, the European Commission is seeking a way to provide the information these Member States require in a transparent way based on Eur

11、opean standard test methods. Consequently, the European Commission will revise the mandates for all construction products to require information on the release/emission of RDSs under the CE marking where this is required by European or Member State regulations. Where there are no specific requiremen

12、ts, manufacturers may use the No Performance Determined declaration when placing their products on those markets. Where a Member State regulates release from construction products, they identify for each product a set of RDSs and for each one assign a regulatory level, i.e. a maximum level of releas

13、e. This CEN/TR suggests that the harmonised European Standard (hEN) corresponding to the product provides technical classes for the release/emission of RDSs, referred to as RDS classes that coincide with the different regulatory levels. As different Member State regulations have different sets of RD

14、Ss and different regulatory levels, this CEN/TR also proposes to simplify this complexity by providing in the hEN sets of RDS classes. Each set of RDS classes would, in principle, satisfy a particular Member States regulations, but there may be also a set that satisfies all Member State regulations.

15、 As an alternative, this CEN/TR mentions also the possibility to provide in the hEN the declared value concept for each mandated RDS. Experience has shown that the majority of construction products pose no significant risk to the environment, so this CEN/TR provides two assessment procedures for pro

16、viding, when required, this information on the release/emission of RDSs. Where there is a dossier of information that has been accepted by the Commission showing the release/emission of all or some of the mandated RDSs remains with time under relevant regulatory levels, these classes can be assigned

17、 by the manufacturer without testing (WT). The conditions for applying this procedure will be specified in the product standard. All the other mandated RDSs are subjected to an initial type testing (ITT) as specified in the relevant product standard. Based on the results of the ITT, the release/emis

18、sion is then either assessed Without Further Testing (WFT) or as requiring Further Testing (FT). The WFT procedure is for the situation where the ITT shows that the release/emission from the product is significantly lower than the RDS class limit and, where this is not the case, the FT procedure is

19、required to show conformity to the RDS class. Both assessment procedures include ongoing factory production control (FPC) as specified in the relevant hEN and operated by the manufacturer. In the case of the WT procedure, the provisions for the FPC comprise all actions to be taken by the manufacture

20、r, which result from the conditions under which the dossier has been approved by the European Commission. In the case of the WFT/FT procedure, the FPC may or may not include further testing depending on the results of the ITT assessment. This CEN Technical Report sets out the framework for the syste

21、m described above and identifies appropriate supporting standards and guidance documents that should be worked out in CEN/TC 351 for the horizontal approach, and guidance on the provisions that Product TCs should include in their hENs. If the European Commission accepts the principles set out in thi

22、s CEN Technical Report, it is intended to provide some examples of the application of the system, e.g. in a Part 2 of this document.

28、Construction products: Assessment of release of dangerous substances”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). Thi

29、s CEN Technical Report describes a technical procedure for providing information on the release/emission of regulated substances in accordance with Essential Requirement No. 3 (ER 3) of the Construction Products Directive (CPD) and in particular the provision of this information using the Without Te

30、sting and Without Further Testing procedures. An overall description of all options for testing construction products with respect to ER3 is given. Within the overall framework and criteria, flexibility is built into the system to permit CEN technical committees (CEN/TCs) and individual manufacturer

31、s to select the optimal solutions for their construction products. The system is designed to cope with changes to construction products and to allow for further optimization when there are data to justify such optimization. This CEN Technical Report applies to construction products under the respons

32、ibility of CEN, i.e. those that conform to European product standards. However, many of the principles and concepts described in this report could be applied to construction products covered by a European Technical Approval. This report describes how Regulated Dangerous Substance classes (RDS classe

33、s) for each mandated Regulated Dangerous Substance (RDS) are developed and how sets of these RDS classes may be grouped for user convenience. It introduces the idea of an Initial Type Assessment (ITA) as the first step in the technical process. This Initial Type Assessment brings a more flexible app

34、roach to satisfying the requirements of ER3 and may/may not include any testing using a European test method depending on the quality of the product information already available. Where the ITA identifies that the construction product satisfies the criteria set out in the product standard with eithe

35、r no, a limited amount, or in specific cases more extensive testing using European test methods, the construction product may be deemed-to-conform to one or more RDS classes. Where all relevant RDS classes are satisfied by these procedures, the construction product may be deemed-to-conform to a set

36、of RDS classes. The technical procedure(s) for establishing a deemed-to-conform approach to satisfying ER3, and its informational requirements, is described in this CEN Technical Report. In the technical procedure, there is a hierarchy of testing using reference test methods for the determination of

37、 release/emission, alternative test procedures and screening tests. These may be used in the Initial Type Testing (ITT) and in the further testing (factory production control and evaluation of conformity) to assess the constituents or materials and approve the construction product. The overall objec

38、tive of this report is to set out a framework for an effective, appropriate and cost effective system for providing when required information on the release/emission of regulated dangerous substances from construction products under ER3. The NPD option is retained for CEN Member States who protect t

39、he environment with a different approach. NOTE As the general CEN/TC 351 document on terminology is still under development, this document has its own clause on terms and definitions. Those are incorporated in the draft general document. It is expected that in the final technical report (after the a

40、pproval of CEN/TC 351), this clause will be replaced by reference to the general CEN/TC 351 document.

44、iance with EU or Member State Regulations, procedures for classification of construction products using a Without Testing procedure (WT procedure) and a Without Further Testing procedure (WFT procedure) in addition to the normal Further Testing approach (FT procedure). Work Package 1 given in the ma

45、ndate to CEN requests, amongst other things, that a Technical Report on “Without Testing (WT)” and “Without Further Testing (WFT)” be developed. Text abstracted from Mandate M/366: This Technical Report shall develop criteria for classifying products as WT/WFT. It must define the criteria a product

46、or material has to fulfil, in order to be accepted as WT/WFT. The mandated Technical Report will need to make it possible for the European Expert Group on Dangerous Substances to develop a concept, how these products will be selected, and which the European Commission Services intends to use for fur

47、ther measure, with the endorsement of the Standing Committee on Construction. The TR should consider the viability of two lists, i.e. a) products or materials regarded as WT/WFT based on generally accepted knowledge on the constituents and release behaviour, and b) products regarded as WFT based on

48、verification of their emission or content of regulated dangerous substances (measured/tested in accordance with the harmonised measurement/testing standards). Mandate M/366 also states in 1.2 sub-clause 5: It should be possible to demonstrate, for a larger number of products, that they do not contai

49、n any regulated dangerous substances or do not have the ability of releasing dangerous substances into soil, ground or surface water, or to indoor air, in quantities above the limits regulated in any Member State of the EU. During the second half of 2006 and the first months of 2007 there was considerable discussion over various concepts and the evolution of ideas. In order to clarify matters, a delegation from CEN/TC 351 held a meeting with the Construction Unit on the 2 March 2007. The main outcome of this meeting was a confirmation that in the future CEN
