Foreword
This document (CEN/TR 16045:2010) 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 [and/or CENELEC] 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.
Under Work Item 6, Mandate M/366 describes the need for CEN standards to test the chemical content of
construction products. However, in the first meeting of CEN/BT WG 176, the predecessor to CEN/TC 351
(June 2005, Gouda, The Netherlands), it was decided that a Technical Report (TR) should be drafted first.
This TR was for administrative reasons given work item (WI) number 14. The background and guidelines
for carrying out this work are outlined in Annex A of this report:
 a wide range of methods exist, focus will be on existing documents;
 one of the criteria for the selection of standard test methods could be the information on validation;
 content determination should not be used for certification of emissions unless this is the only
practicable or legally correct solution.
It is emphasized that the focus of the CPD is on the release of dangerous substances, not on content.
Content testing may only be applied for product release/emissions certification of a material if emissions
testing is prohibitively expensive or when it is specifically required by regulation – for example in the case
of banned substances such as certain metals or asbestos.
However, content testing may be useful as a complementary quick screening method for in-house quality
control of product emissions (e.g. as a routine check of product uniformity/conformity). Content tests can
also be relevant within the scope of the continuous surveillance by the app
