SHEC-meeting Emission of dangerous substances - mandate M/ Robert Walter
28/09/2009

2. Relevant regulations for EN 13165 (PU)
EGDS – Expert Group of Dangerous Substances Proposal DS
- Regulation 552/2009/EC (pentabromodiphenylether, octabromodiphenylether, cadmium) Regulation 1907/2009/EC (candidate list: DEHP, DBP, BBP) - REACH Commission Decision 2009 /425/EC (organostannic compounds) PL-1996 (DBP) N (decabromo-diphenylether) DK, A (HFC) FIN (pentane, isocyanates, TBP, TPP) N (cadmium) F (trichloroethylene) F (benzene, DEHP, DBP)

3. Relevant substances for EN 13165 (PU)
EGDS proposal (DS )
hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), pentabromodiphenylether, octabromodiphenylether, decabromodiphenylether, diethylhexylphthalate (DEHP), dibutylphthalate (DBP), benzylbutylphthalate (BBP), Tri-substituted organostannic compounds, Dibutyltin (DBT) compounds, isocyanates, pentane, tributylphosphate, triphenylphosphate, trichloroethylene, benzene, cadmium

4. TC88 answer: no relevant regulations
In doc. DS 110 EU directives and notifications are quoted which do not apply to construction products with respect to the CPD/ER 3 and M/ 366.
Directive refers to consumers goods; thermal insulation materials are construction products;
Reference to the draft candidate list of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH) makes no sense in this context. REACH is for declaration of chemicals and not for CE marking.
Conclusion of TC88:
There are no notifications quoted, which are related directly to the TC88 thermal insulation products. Therefore no regulated dangerous substances can be quoted for the mandat.
Problem: EGDS will not accept this TC88 position !!??

5. WG6 answer to quoted substances: most of listed substances not relevant
