Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the el
21、ements 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 and safety assessment (CEN/TR 13
22、387-1); 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 compared to the previous edition.
23、PD CEN/TR 13387-2:2015CEN/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 can assist those with a general prof
24、essional 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 requirement and does not address chemical s
25、ubstances 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 use and care articles and for dim
26、ethylfumarate (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 Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and
27、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 followed by manufacturers of child care
28、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 to child care products. Other regu
29、latory 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 equipment are regulated by the Reg
30、ulation 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 have to be identified where relevant.
31、 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 applicable to child care articles the Direc
32、tive 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 appropriate on how to make use of to
33、ys 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 adopted a policy: the “CEN Approach on a
34、ddressing 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 concerned. Hence, this guide inco
35、rporates also recommendations in this regard. PD CEN/TR 13387-2:2015CEN/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 shall be registered at the European Che
36、micals 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 intended to be released). 2.2.2 Author
37、ization 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 accumulating and toxic/very persist
38、ent 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 so-called “candidate list” which is
39、 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 substances cannot be placed on the market or
40、 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 specific restrictions on 64 chemical
41、 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 on total content for certain phthala
42、te 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 material is used to make the finish
43、ed 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 consumer products including child use and
44、 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 could be for example a product wit
45、h 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 concentration above 0,1 % (w/w), the supplie
46、r 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 request and within 45 days of the requ
47、est. (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 and its import or manufacturing qua
48、ntities 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 13387-2:2015CEN/TR 13387-2:2015 (E) 7 Chemica
49、l 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 aware of the developments in REACH and h
