General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/402 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Mandates for standardisation addressed to CEN for methods of analysis to detect perfluorooctane sulphonates in preparations, semifinished products and articles including textile and coated materials,". Mandates for standardisation addressed to CEN for methods of analysis to detect perfluorooctane sulphonates in preparations, semifinished products and articles including textile and coated materials, There are 2 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
This Technical Specification describes the determination of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) in concentrated extracts from coated and impregnated solid articles, liquids and fire extinguishing foams using high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-tandemMS) or quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-qMS).
The method is applicable for a concentration range for PFOS in the extract solution of 0,5 µg/l to 50 µg/l.
WARNING - Persons using this Technical Specification should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This Technical Specification does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.
IMPORTANT - It is absolutely essential that tests conducted in accordance with this Technical Specification be carried out by suitably qualified staff.
