PD CEN/TR 16220:2011 Construction products. Assessment of release of dangerous substances. Content of regulated dangerous substances. Selection of analytical methods
This CEN/TR provides a complement to the sampling of construction products. Sampling of construction products for other characteristics than the release or emission of regulated dangerous substances is described in product standards and ETAs1 ).
This CEN/TR is based on mandate M366 of the European Commission2). It provides requirements which are specific for the sampling of construction products for the determination of the release or emission of regulated dangerous substances.
The mandate implies that existing sampling standards from product TCs, or sampling instruction in product standards from product TCs, are to be used as much as possible. Consequently this CEN/TR and the sampling parts of the standards prepared by WG 1 and WG 2 of CEN/TC 351 (see below 0.3) should be used as a complement to the sampling of construction products as described in existing standards and ETAs.
It does not provide full guidance to sampling of construction products.
