What is PD CEN/TS 17332 - Organic substances in eluates of construction products about?
PD CEN/TS 17332 is an international standard on construction products that helps in assessing the release of dangerous substances from the products.
PD CEN/TS 17332 specifies existing methods for the determination of specific organic substances in aqueous eluates from the leaching of construction products. The selection of the method to be applied is based on the product matrix and the required sensitivity.
NOTE: PD CEN/TS 17332 covers matrices like pH, electrical conductivity, biocides, bisphenol A, BTEX, dioxins and furans, DOC, epichlorohydrin, mineral oil, nonylphenols, PAH, PBDE, PCB, dioxin-like PCB, PCP, phenols and phthalates.
NOTE: Construction products include mineral-based products, bituminous products, wood-based products, polymer-based products and metals.
NOTE: PD CEN/TS 17332 does not include analytical methods for metals.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17332 - Organic substances in eluates of construction products for?
PD CEN/TS 17332 on construction products is useful for:
- Manufacturers of construction products
- Manufacturers of organic substances
- Manufacturers of binders and bitumen
- Laboratory
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17332 - Organic substances in eluates of construction products?
The degrading condition of our environment is a major concern that must be addressed immediately. PD CEN/TS 17332 helps in the determination of organic substances in eluates that have been obtained by leaching of construction products, thus we strongly advise you to adhere to the guidelines.
PD CEN/TS 17332 navigates you through the eluate analysis methods which is used to determine organic substances in the water to release the dangerous substances from construction products.
Sample preparation and selection of the suitable test method are specified in PD CEN/TS 17332 determining the chemical parameters of substances in eluates and test methods.
Specific instructions for the calculation of the results and preparation of the test report are given in PD CEN/TS 17332.
Overall, PD CEN/TS 17332 leads you through the manufacturing of building materials, identifying the release of dangerous compounds through leaching tests, evaluating the performance of waste forms for safe transportation, disposal, or storage, and avoiding negative environmental consequences. In this manner, you can obtain materials that are safe for construction buildings, ensuring the strength, dependability, and durability of your structure.
