Scope

This document specifies existing methods for the determination of specific organic substances in aqueous eluates from leaching of construction products.

The following parameters are covered: 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.

The methods in this document come from different fields, mainly the analysis of water, and are applicable for the eluates from construction products. They are validated for eluates of the product types listed in Annex A.

NOTE Construction products include e.g. mineral-based products, bituminous products, wood-based products, polymer-based products and metals. This document includes analytical methods for all matrices except metals.

The selection of the method to be applied is based on the product matrix and the required sensitivity.

Purpose

Conversion of CEN/TS 17332 into an EN as requested in the Mandate M/366 phase IV.
