Attention is drawn to th
21、e 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. This document supersedes CEN/TR 13387:2004. CEN/TR 13387 comprises the following five parts: Safety philosophy
22、 and safety assessment (CEN/TR 13387-1); Chemical hazards (CEN/TR 13387-2); Mechanical hazards (CEN/TR 13387-3); Thermal hazards (CEN/TR 13387-4); Product information (CEN/TR 13387-5). CEN/TR 13387-2 should be used in conjunction with CEN/TR 13387-1. The chemical part has been completely rewritten c
23、ompared to the previous edition. PD CEN/TR 13387-2:2015 CEN/TR 13387-2:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Report provides guidance information on chemical hazards that should be taken into consideration when developing safety standards for child use and care articles. In addition, these guidelines ca
24、n assist those with a general professional interest in child safety. 2 Regulatory, normative and policy background 2.1 General In Europe child use and care articles are covered by the Directive on general product safety (GPSD, Directive 2001/95/EC). This directive contains a general safety requireme
25、nt and does not address chemical substances in particular. However, article 13 of the GPSD provides for the opportunity to adopt temporary “emergency” measures which may include limit values for chemical substances in consumer products. Such measures had been adopted for phthalates in toys and child
26、 use and care articles and for dimethylfumarate (DMF) and both have been later incorporated into REACH. In addition, Member States can impose actions on products found unsafe. Restrictions for several specific chemical substances can be found in Annex XVII of the Regulation concerning the Registrati
27、on, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH, Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) “relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations” as amended. If applicable to their type of product or material used, these provisions are to be follow
28、ed by manufacturers of child care articles. The Regulation on persistent organic pollutants (POP, Regulation (EC) No 850/2004) restricts production, placing on the market and use of chemical substances listed in Annex I of the regulation including constituents of articles. The provisions apply also
29、to child care products. Other regulatory provisions relating to chemicals may apply to certain products. For instance, drinking equipment is subject to the Regulation on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food (Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004) and plastics components of drinking
30、equipment are regulated by the Regulation relating to materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. A Directive covers the release of N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances from elastomer or rubber teats and soothers (Directive 93/11/EEC). Applicable regulation will hav
31、e to be identified where relevant. Another example of chemical provisions applicable to child care articles is the Directive on packaging and packaging waste (94/62/EC) which establishes among others limits for lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium in packaging. While not directly applicabl
32、e to child care articles the Directive on the safety of toys (TSD, 2009/48/EC) is an important reference document addressing a product group with similar exposure characteristics and providing a high standard of safety in the field of products intended for children. Hence, specific guidance seems ap
33、propriate on how to make use of toys related chemical rules. It is the intention of the present guidelines to complement existing legal obligations by providing some practical recommendations keeping in mind legal minimum requirements. Environmental issues are moving in the spotlight. CEN has adopte
34、d a policy: the “CEN Approach on addressing environmental issues in product and service standards” calls for incorporation of environmental considerations when product or service standards are elaborated. These aspects are highly relevant in particular for chemicals as far as child care articles are
35、 concerned. Hence, this guide incorporates also recommendations in this regard. PD CEN/TR 13387-2:2015 CEN/TR 13387-2:2015 (E) 6 2.2 REACH - Short summary 2.2.1 Registration All chemical substances manufactured or imported in quantities greater than 1 tonne per year per manufacturer or importer shal
36、l be registered at the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) unless they are exempted from the scope of registration. The registration obligations apply to the individual chemical substances, independently of whether they are on their own, in a mixture or in an article (when the chemical substance is int
37、ended to be released). 2.2.2 Authorization Chemical substances with properties of very high concern may be subject to authorization before being allowed to be manufactured or used in the European Union. These are CMRs (carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic for reproduction), PBTs/vPvBs (persistent, bio
38、accumulating and toxic/very persistent and very bio accumulating chemical substances) and chemical substances identified as causing serious and irreversible effects to humans or the environment equivalent to the effects mentioned above. As a first step such chemical substances are incorporated in a
39、so-called “candidate list” which is published and periodically updated by ECHA (twice a year in June and December). The candidate list is also known as the “SVHC list”. Finally, chemical substances identified as requiring authorization will be taken up in Annex XIV or REACH. These chemical substance
40、s cannot be placed on the market or used for manufacturing in Europe after a given date, unless an authorization is granted for their specific use, or the use is exempted from authorization. For the current list of SVHC please consult the ECHA website. 2.2.3 Restrictions REACH Annex XVII contained s
41、pecific restrictions on 64 chemical substances or groups of substances by the end of 2014. These may apply to all uses of the substance or more specifically to certain product types or exposure scenarios. Some restrictions have particular relevance to child care and use articles such as the limits o
42、n total content for certain phthalate based plasticisers and total content limits for certain flame retardants in textiles where there is prolonged skin contact. Some entries, such as the total content restriction for cadmium in certain materials, may apply to child care and use articles where that
43、material is used to make the finished product. 2.2.4 Articles Articles within REACH are defined as an object, which during production is given a special shape, surface or design which determines its function to a greater degree than its chemical composition (Article 3(3). This means that most consum
44、er products including child use and care articles can be defined as articles. Chemical substances in articles do not need to be registered under REACH, except chemical substances in articles that are intentionally released if present in quantities greater than 1 tonne per manufacturer annually. This
45、 could be for example a product with a perfume scent. Chemical substances that are unintentionally released during use are not in scope for registration, like plasticizers migrating out of a product over time. If articles contain chemical substances on the “candidate list” (SVHC list) in a concentra
46、tion above 0,1 % (w/w), the supplier has to provide sufficient information (as a minimum the name of the chemical substance) to the recipient of the article to allow for safe use of the article. For consumers the information about these chemical substances in the article shall only be given upon req
47、uest and within 45 days of the request. (Article 33 of REACH). This requirement is independent of the total tonnage of the chemical substance. No such requirement exists for other dangerous chemical substances in articles. If a SVHC substance is present in a concentration above 0,1 % in the article
48、and its import or manufacturing quantities are above 1 tonne in total per year per company, EU producers or importers of articles shall notify the ECHA of the presence of the SVHC substance. Such notification requirement does not exist for other dangerous substances in articles. PD CEN/TR 13387-2:20
49、15 CEN/TR 13387-2:2015 (E) 7 Chemical substances integrated in articles are neither subject to registration nor to authorization with the exception of chemical substances intended to be released. However, SVHC substances used in or for the manufacturing of articles in Europe may require authorization. Restricted chemical substances (REACH Annex XVII) cannot be used in articles in the EU, nor can they be present in any article imported into the EU. 2.2.5 Recommendations Manufacturers and standardization bodies involved with child care and use articles should be aw
