21、s”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN. Attention is drawn to the 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 has been prepared under a m
22、andate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. This Technical Specification deals with the determination and use of test methods for leaching of construction products taking specific situations into account. It specifies preconditions under which leaching tes
23、ts for monolithic products and for granular products need to be selected. Background information on characterization of leaching behaviour of construction products can be found in Technical Reports provided by CEN/TC 351 (i.e. CEN/TR 16098 1, and CEN/TR 16496 2). According to the CEN-CENELEC Interna
24、l Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,

PD CEN/TS 16637-1:2014CEN/TS 16637-1:2014 (E) 5 Introduction This informative introduction describes the interactions
26、and interrelations between the release tests developed to assess the release of dangerous substances from construction products into soil, surface water and groundwater in the framework of the Mandate M/366. The horizontal test methods developed under the Mandate M/366 are intended to be used to sho
27、w compliance with notified regulations. The tests cover the release of substances from construction products and in particular, those that are regulated in notified regulations in one or more EU member states. CEN/TS 16637-1 specifies how the CEN Technical Product Committees and EOTA experts are to
28、determine the appropriate leaching test for the determination of the release of Regulated Dangerous Substances from a construction product into soil, surface water and groundwater. CEN/TS 16637-2 describes a horizontal test to assess surface dependent release from monolithic, plate-like or sheet-lik
29、e construction products while FprCEN/TS 16637-3 (in preparation) will describe a horizontal test to assess release from granular construction products. The test methods can be used for both steps in the hierarchy (type testing and factory production control) and are supposed to be used as the refere
30、nce test for the intended uses and conditions specified in CEN/TS 16637-1. In this hierarchy of testing conditionally “indirect tests” can be used, but are not specified. The release of substances upon contact with water results in a potential risk to the environment during the intended use of const
31、ruction products. The intent of these tests is to identify the leaching behaviour of construction products and thereby allow assessments of the release of Regulated Dangerous Substances from such products to soil, surface water and groundwater under intended conditions of use in relation to CE marki
32、ng and assessment and verification of constancy of performance. Technical Product Committees are expected to apply the test standards developed in CEN/TC 351 for their products in order to test the potential release of Regulated Dangerous Substances to soil, surface water and groundwater. CEN/TS 166
33、37-1 is intended to provide clear procedures to determine which test method is appropriate for a given product. CEN/TS 16637-1 aims to provide the information, needed in a CEN Technical Product Committee, on how to deal with the relevant test method(s) to enable the producer to declare a performance
34、 in the CE marking as a result of the test. CEN Technical Product Committees are referred to the informative Annex A and Annex B of CEN/TS 16637-1 and to CEN/TR 16098 1, for background information on the following aspects: a) identification of the products addressed in the product standards which ha
35、ve relevance with respect to the release of dangerous substances into soil, surface water and groundwater (products only applied in the interior of buildings are not subject to testing for these properties); b) description of the intended conditions of use of the construction product (e.g. above gro
36、und exposed to the precipitation, or shielded from direct infiltration, in surface or groundwater) in respect to the release of dangerous substances into soil, surface water and groundwater; c) identification of main release mechanisms. Impact assessment is not part of the work of CEN/TC 351. In add
37、ition to existing validation results, in 2011 CEN/TC 351 began an extensive research program on robustness validation of the existing tank leaching and percolation tests. This was carried out by a consortium of European experts on 20 construction products to unify differences from the protocols of t
38、he different CEN Members and to check the influence of testing conditions on the test result (e.g. temperature, flow rate, renewal scheme, etc. 3). The results of the research program confirmed the robustness of the horizontal tests known from former works. Conclusions from the program have been imp
39、lemented into the Technical Specifications for the test methods. However, the performance of the leaching test regarding repeatability and reproducibility is dependent on the tested construction product and on the testing conditions. When these Technical Specifications of the horizontal leaching tes
40、ts are adopted by CEN, the leaching tests referred to in PD CEN/TS 16637-1:2014CEN/TS 16637-1:2014 (E) 6 these Technical Specifications will not yet be fully validated. No data will be available on repeatability and reproducibility for the range of construction products. For other, sometimes compara
41、ble, matrices performance data are available from national as well as EU validation studies. PD CEN/TS 16637-1:2014CEN/TS 16637-1:2014 (E) 7 1 Scope (1) This Technical Specification allows the identification of the appropriate leaching test method for the determination of the release of Regulated Da
42、ngerous Substances from construction products into soil, surface water and groundwater. This document provides a stepwise procedure for the determination of appropriate release tests, including: a) guidance for the identification of construction products potentially emitting Regulated Dangerous Subs
43、tances; b) determination of the test method based on general product properties; c) choice of the test method using specific product properties. (2) Furthermore, this Technical Specification gives general guidance for CEN Technical Product Committees on basic aspects (sampling, sample preparation an
44、d storage, eluate treatment, analysis of eluates and documentation) to be specified in the relevant product standards. (3) Metallic products, coatings on metallic products and organic coatings for metals are not considered in the determination scheme of this Technical Specification since the test me
45、thod in CEN/TS 16637-2 (tank test) is not appropriate for the testing of these construction products due to a different release mechanism (solubility control). NOTE Metallic products are excluded from the scope of CEN/TS 16637-2 because the principles of that test (diffusion) are not obeyed by these
46、 products. Metallic products have shown pH dependent solubility control, which means that metals released from the oxidation layer on the metal until the maximum possible solubility level at the prevailing pH conditions in the surrounding water is reached (more water in contact with the same metal s
47、urface means more metals released and more time does not lead to more release due to solubility control). Maximum level of release can often be reached in minutes to hours. More generally, it can be stated that expression of results for metallic surfaces in mg/(m2s) is always “conditional”, i.e. dep
48、endent on the local conditions at which the measurements were done, such as the volume of water relative to the surface area. For impact assessment, it is necessary to understand the above mentioned effects and to capture these effects in a test reflecting the dominant release mechanism. However, su
49、ch a test method is currently unavailable. If the intrinsic leaching behaviour is known, release under specified local conditions could be determined by modelling. Furthermore, no notified regulations exist for metallic products at the time these Technical Specifications have been published. (4) It is assumed that intermittent contact with water (e.g. exposure to rainwater) is tested - by convention - as permanent contact. For some coatings, (e.g. some renders with organic binders according to EN 15824) in intermittent contact to water, physical and chem
