5、s used as the decimal marker. Start of application The start of application of this standard is 2016-02-01. As stated in the European foreword, CEN members are to withdraw national standards that conflict with this document by November 2018. It should be noted, however, that this does not imply that
6、 the use of the new reference method described in the present document is not binding until November 2018. Use of this method becomes binding once EN 16128:2015 is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, taking any transition periods into consideration. At the time the German version of
7、 DIN EN 16128 went into production, this citation in the Official Journal of the EU had not yet taken place. Users of this standard should carefully monitor the status of EN 16128 and/or its citation in the Official Journal of the EU. National foreword This document (EN 16128:2015) has been prepared
8、 by Technical Committee CEN/TC 170 “Ophthalmic optics” (Secretariat: DIN, Germany). The responsible German body involved in its preparation was DIN-Normenausschuss Feinmechanik und Optik (DIN Standards Committee Optics and Precision Mechanics), Working Committee NA 027-01-08-08 AK Brillenfassungen.
9、This standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission in connection with the European REACH regulation and for the purposes of revising the reference method for testing spectacle frames and sunglasses for nickel release. Following the publication of Technical Specif
10、ication DIN CEN/TS 16677 (DIN SPEC 13450) in July 2014, the present standard is a further step in replacing the harmonized standard EN 16128:2011 that had been cited in the Official Journal of the EU. With the publication of this document, all those involved in the testing of the nickel release of s
11、pectacle frames and sunglasses now can switch over to the new reference method. In Germany, use of the symbol “dpt” for dioptre (expressed in m-1) is legally required and this symbol is to be used rather than the symbol D used in other countries. Amendments This standard differs from DIN EN 16128:20
12、11-05 and DIN CEN/TS 16677 (DIN SPEC 13450):2014-07 as follows: a) the reference test method has been substantially revised: In the method according to EN 16128:2011 the parts to be tested for nickel release are placed in an artificial sweat test solution for one week. The concentration of dissolved
13、 nickel in the solution is determined by atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively-coupled plasma spectrometry or other appropriate analytical method. DIN EN 16128:2016-02 3 The present standard provides, for parts with an organic coating, a coating test based on Electrochemical Impedance Spectros
14、copy (EIS). The coating test aims at demonstrating that the coating is of sufficient quality to prevent the release of nickel, thereby ensuring that the test samples nickel release does not exceed the regulatory limit. For parts without an organic coating, the present standard specifies a migration
15、test. The migration test makes provision for quantitative testing for the amount of nickel released, to determine whether or not the models nickel release exceeds the regulatory limit. The migration test comprises two steps: Release of nickel by artificial sweat solution into a test paper and the su
16、bsequent quantitative analytical detection of the nickel released into the paper. See also the principle described in Clause 4. b) Compared to CEN/TS 16677:2014 the revisions and refinements made are relatively minor, as follows: For the coating test, see Clause 7: amendment of the calculation and p
17、resentation of the test result including amendment of the threshold value (see 7.6); the dummy or test lenses used in the simulation of wear and corrosion are to be kept in the frame. For the migration test, see Clause 8: inclusion of the requirement to prepare and analyze a blank sample with every
18、batch of test samples, along with the relevant specifications of sample preparation and procedure (see 8.4.4); specification that the incubation shall be made using a climate chamber; the previously permissible alternative to use an oven with a container for insertion of the test samples has been de
19、leted (see 8.4.5); inclusion of more detailed specifications as to the permissible and non-permissible combination of the test papers from the various test areas for the analysis; inclusion of directions on how to proceed in the case that the design of a model does not allow the application of the t
20、est paper at (one of) the specified location(s); amendment of the procedure for the application and sealing of the test paper onto the test area using the sealing film; as an alternative to wrapping with the sealing film it is now also permissible to use a folding technique; see the revised Annex B;
21、 recommendation that the time between the retrieval of the test papers from the test samples and their extraction and analysis does not exceed three days (see 8.4.6). c) the text of EN 16128:2015 has been adopted in its entirety.
