This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 23 March 2018 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,

European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 17201:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 351
“Construction Products - Assessment of release of dangerous substances”, the secretariat of which is
held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
Following an extended evaluation of available methods for content analysis in construction products
(CEN/TR 16045, [1]) it was concluded that eluate analysis methods are very similar to analytical
methods used to determine content after digestion of a solid matrix.
This document has a similar structure as CEN/TS 17195 Construction products: Assessment of release of
dangerous substances – Analysis of inorganic substances in eluates.
This Technical Specification is part of a modular horizontal approach which was adopted in
CEN/TC 351. 'Horizontal' means that the methods can be used for a wide range of materials
and products with certain properties. 'Modular' means that a test standard developed in this approach
concerns a specific step in assessing a property and not the whole chain of measurement
(from sampling to analyses). Beneficial features of this approach are that modules can be replaced by
better ones without jeopardizing the standard chain and duplication of work of in different Technical
Committees for Products can be avoided as far as possible. Similar standards have been developed
for content determination in different types of matrices, see Annex A.
The modules that relate to the standards developed in CEN/TC 351 are specified in CEN/TR 16220 [2],
which distinguishes between the modules. This Technical Specification belongs to the analytical step.
The use of modular horizontal standards implies the drawing of test schemes as well. Before executing a
test on a certain construction product to determine certain characteristics it is necessary to draw up a
protocol in which the adequate modules are selected and together form the basis for the entire
test procedure.
1 Scope

and trace elements in aqua regia digests of construction products. It refers to the following 67 elements:
