The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
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.

NOTE Other PAHs compounds can also be analysed with this method, provided suitability has been proven.
