21、l chloride) (PVC-P) homogenous membranes of nominal thickness greater than or equal to 0,75 mm for use as liners for inground swimming pools. It also specifies the characteristics of the composition of the PVC-P used to produce the membranes. It applies specifically to homogenous membranes intended
22、for use in swimming pools where the water temperature is less than or equal to 28 C. If the membrane manufacturer permits a temperature of water continuously maintained above 28 C, this document also applies. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the applica

The PVC-P membranes shall consist of materials that are n
40、ot substances classified as carcinogen category 1 or carcinogen category 2, mutagen category 1 or mutagen category 2, toxic to reproduction category 1 or toxic to reproduction category 2 (see Directive 76/769/EEC 1). The total concentration of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromi
41、um Cr(VI) and arsenic (As) shall not exceed 100 mg/kg. NOTE This requirement is based on the concentration levels of heavy metals present in packaging as defined in Directive 94/62/EC, Article 11 2. For the determination of the total concentration of Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr(VI) and As, the method given in An
42、nex A shall be used. 5.3 Environmental aspects The PVC-P compounds are recyclable materials that can be treated in a material recovery process intended to save resources while minimising harmful emissions into air, water and soil as well as their impacts on human health.

44、. A visual inspection shall be made on a minimum area of the PVC-P membrane that is 2 m long and as wide as the membrane itself. The inspection shall be performed on samples of both sides of the membrane taken at random from a roll laid down, without tension, on a flat, opaque surface. The membrane
45、shall have no defects visible to the naked eye, such as bubbles, blisters, coloured streaks, pinholes, mottles, folds or ripples. However air inclusion and mottles cannot be completely avoided in PVC-P sheet. The appearance shall be uniform, as even as that of the reference test piece, irrespective
46、of the area examined. The surface condition (smooth or embossed) and the colour reflection shall be in conformance with those of the reference test piece. Non-printed membranes shall have an even surface finish. In the case of a printed membrane, the imprint shall be even with no smudging. No ink sh
47、all be transferred to the non-printed side. An embossed membrane shall have a regular appearance with an even pattern. The pigments shall be homogeneously and evenly distributed throughout the material. Slight differences in colour, related to composition and manufacture shall generally be permissib
48、le. The rolls of membranes shall be suitably and sufficiently tight. The result of the visual examination shall be expressed as “appearance conform“ or “appearance non-conform“. In the latter case, the defects noted shall be listed. 6.2 Colour (plain coloured membranes) The colour of the unused (new
49、) membrane, as delivered, shall be the same as that of the reference sample as agreed between the supplier and the customer. The contrast or visual differences between the unused membrane and the reference sample shall be assessed in accordance with EN 20105-A02.
