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/556 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "[C(2017)7926 final] Compliance with maximum content criteria of PAH in rubber and plastic". [C(2017)7926 final] Compliance with maximum content criteria of PAH in rubber and plastic 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.

prEN 17937(Main)
Regulated chemicals in products - Determination of the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by gas chromatography coupled to mass-spectrometry in plastic and rubber in articles supplied to the general public that come into direct contact with human skin and oral cavity
oSIST prEN 17937:2023

This document specifies a method to determine the total content of the 8 regulated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), see Table 1, in plastic and rubber articles by using GC-MS allowing detection at 0,1 mg PAHs/kg for plastic and 0,2 mg PAHs/kg for rubber material.
Table 1 - List of PAHs
...
NOTE   Other PAHs compounds can also be analysed with this method, provided suitability has been proven.
