The PVC-P membranes shall consist of materials that are not substances classified as carcinogen category 1
40、 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 chromium Cr(VI) and arsenic (As) shall not exceed 100 m
41、g/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 Annex A shall be used. 5.3 Environmental aspects Th
42、e 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. NOTE A scheme for the characterisation of plastics waste is given in EN 15347
43、 3 and data for the characterisation of PVC recyclates are given in EN 15346 4. 6 Visual characteristics 6.1 Appearance Visible defects in the reinforced membrane shall be determined using the method specified in EN 1850-2. BS EN 15836-2:2010EN 15836-2:2010 (E) 8 A visual inspection shall be made on
44、 a minimum area of the reinforced 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 reinforced membrane shall have no defects
45、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 of the area examined.
46、The surface condition (smooth or embossed) and the colour reflection shall be in conformance with those of the reference test piece. Non-printed reinforced membranes shall have an even surface finish. In the case of a printed reinforced membrane, the imprint shall be even with no smudging. No ink sh
47、all be transferred to the non-printed side. An embossed reinforced membrane shall have a regular appearance with an even pattern. The pigments shall be homogenously and evenly distributed throughout the material. Slight differences in colour, related to composition and manufacture shall generally be
48、 permissible. The rolls of reinforced 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 colo
49、ur of the unused (new) 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.
