9、 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 regulations on the release/emission of RDSs from construct
10、ion 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 European standard test methods. Consequently, the European Com
11、mission 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 requirements, manufacturers may use the No Performance Determined dec
12、laration 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 release. This CEN/TR suggests that the harmonised European Standa
13、rd (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 RDSs and different regulatory levels, this CEN/TR also propos
14、es 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. As an alternative, this CEN/TR mentions also the possibili
15、ty 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 providing, when required, this information on the release/emis
16、sion 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 by the manufacturer without testing (WT). The conditions f
17、or 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/emission is then either assessed Without Further Testing (WFT)
18、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 required to show conformity to the RDS class. Both assessme
19、nt 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 manufacturer, which result from the conditions under which the dossier
20、 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 system described above and identifies appropriate supporting sta
21、ndards 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 this CEN Technical Report, it is intended to provide some exam
22、ples of the application of the system, e.g. in a Part 2 of this document.

28、stances”, 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). This CEN Technical Report describes a technical procedure for pr
29、oviding 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 Testing and Without Further Testing procedures. An overall desc
30、ription 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 manufacturers to select the optimal solutions for their construction prod
31、ucts. 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 responsibility of CEN, i.e. those that conform to European product s
32、tandards. 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 classes) for each mandated Regulated Dangerous Substance (RDS) are
33、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 approach to satisfying the requirements of ER3 and may/may not i
34、nclude 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 either no, a limited amount, or in specific cases more extensive t
35、esting 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 of RDS classes. The technical procedure(s) for establishing a
36、 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 release/emission, alternative test procedures and screening
37、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 objective of this report is to set out a framework for an effectiv
38、e, 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 the environment with a different approach. NOTE As the general
39、 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 approval of CEN/TC 351), this clause will be replaced by refer
40、ence to the general CEN/TC 351 document.

43、 6 1 Introduction Mandate M/366 EN 1 Development of horizontal standardized assessment methods for harmonised approaches relating to dangerous substances under the Construction Products Directive (CPD) 2 introduces, with respect to compliance with EU or Member State Regulations, procedures for class
44、ification 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 mandate to CEN requests, amongst other things, that a Technical R
45、eport 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 or material has to fulfil, in order to be accepted as WT/WFT. T
46、he 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 further measure, with the endorsement of the Standing Committee on
47、 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 verification of their emission or content of regulated dangerou
48、s 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 contain any regulated dangerous substances or do not have the ability
49、 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 product standards would have to provide a system for manufacturer
