Attention is drawn to the

22、possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. PD CEN/TR 16741:2015 CEN/TR 16741:2015 (E) 5 Introduction In 2003, the company CREM (Consultancy and Research fo

23、r Environmental Management, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) started reviewing a selected number of European standards to identify relevant environmental concerns which should be addressed. Horizontal requirements were drafted during the continuing work on draft standards. These horizontal requirements c

24、omprise, among others, CMR chemicals (carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to reproduction), PBTs and vPvB substances (persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic and very persistent and very bioaccumulative substances) and substances identified as causing serious and irreversible effects to humans or the en

25、vironment equivalent to the effects mentioned on a case-by-case basis, such as endocrine disrupters. CEN/TC248 has decided to adopt the proposal included in the study as a technical report with general requirements for textile products with direct skin contact. The working group extended the scope o

26、f the technical report to textile products in the proximity of the human body . In this technical report, the wording textile product is used, as defined in the Textile Fibre Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. In the parts where REACH is described, the wording textile article is used in the same meaning.

27、 Thus, in the context of this technical report textile product and textile article are the same. PD CEN/TR 16741:2015 CEN/TR 16741:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This Technical Report specifies environmental and health recommendations for textile products (including accessories) with direct skin contact and in

28、the proximity of the human body. This Technical Report facilitates the understanding of chemicals with intended uses in the manufacturing of goods in the fields of textile products intended to clothing, interior textiles and upholstery, to comply with the European chemical regulations and recommenda

29、tions in force in EU. WARNING This Technical Report is not intended to substitute the existing regulations. The reader is requested to check the current existing regulation. By suggesting that the textile market follows the ethos of this Technical Report, and thereby avoiding the use of unwanted sub

30、stances in the manufacture of textile products, the level of protection of human health and of environment will be increased. The distinguishing properties of the chemicals and the processes in which they are used (intended use substances) or they occur (unintended release substances) are described

31、in this technical report. This Technical Report mentions, when relevant, the existing standardized test methods commonly in use, as well as, the related limit values which are generally accepted. Only the standard identification number is given in the main text and the related title is listed in Bib

32、liography. NOTE 1 When limit values are given, possible contamination by the external environment and inaccuracy in the measurement of very low concentration may be taken into consideration. The listed substances of this Technical Report can be categorised in two: one related to intended use, anothe

33、r one related to unintended release. NOTE 2 Inclusion in the candidate list of EU REACH Regulation (EC) n1907/2006 has been mentioned in this Technical Report for some substances. This does not necessarily mean that a substance, for which such a note is not made, would not be included in the candida

34、te list in the future (new substances are regularly included in the list).

36、ance or substance mixtures) belonging to at least one of three different categories: Carcinogenic, Mutagenic and Reprotoxic (toxic to reproduction) Note 1 to entry: CMR chemicals are classified according to EU Classification Labelling Packaging Regulation (EC) n1272/2008 and are covered by the follo

37、wing R-phrases: R40, R45, R46 R49, R60, R61, R62, R63 and R68 (see Annex A). 2.5 PBT and vPvB substances Persistent, Bio accumulative and Toxic substances and very Persistent and very Bio accumulative substances Note 1 to entry: The terms of PBT and vPvB substances are defined in EU REACH Regulation

38、 (EC) n1907/2006 2.6 Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) substances which should be treated with equivalent concern as CMR chemical and PBT and vPvB substances. Note 1 to entry: These substances for which there is scientific evidence of probable serious effect to human health or the environment w

39、hich give rise to an equivalent level of concern to CMR and/or PBT and/or vPvB substances. 3 General recommendations 3.1 CMR chemicals The product should not contain or release any carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic chemicals (CMR chemicals) in amounts exceeding 0,1 % by weight of the whole produ

40、ct. 3.2 PBT and vPvB substances The product should not contain any PBT and vPvB substances which meet the criteria in Annex XIII of EU REACH Regulation (EC) n1907/2006, in amounts exceeding 0,1 % by weight of the whole product. 3.3 SVHC (“Substances of Very High Concern”) SVHC are defined in Article

41、 57 of EU REACH Regulation (EC) n1907/2006 and include substances which are: Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or toxic to Reproduction (CMR), meeting the criteria for classification in category 1 or 2 in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC. This directive was recently replaced by the new EU Classification L

42、abelling Packaging Regulation (EC) n1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of chemical substances and mixtures, the so-called CLP Regulation. According to the new CLP Regulation these substances shall be classified as 1a or 1b. Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) or very Persis

43、tent and very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) according to the criteria in Annex XIII of EU REACH Regulation (EC) n1907/2006, Identified, on a case-by-case basis, from scientific evidence as causing probable serious effects to human health or the environment of an equivalent level of concern as those above (

44、e.g. endocrine disrupters, allergenic substances and sensitizing substances) NOTE The list of identified substances of very high concern is updated regularly. The current listing can be found at http:/echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table. The obligations relating to placing on the market articles con
