The scope of work includes: To deal with step 2 to step 5 of the standardization request M/556 "as regards compliance with maximum content criteria of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in rubber and plastic components of articles placed on the market for supply to the general public in support of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council" Currently, there are 1 published standards from this working group.
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 Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
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.
