BS PD CEN/TR 10364:2016

BS PD CEN/TR 10364:2016 gives guidance regarding the chemical composition controls of steels(except chrome plated products) and cast irons in respect of the European legislation, namely Directives2011/65/EU (RoHS) [1], repealing 2002/95/EU and 2000/53/EC (ELV) [2].These directives require the characterization of these materials for Cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)), mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDE). Nevertheless, the directives do not reflect the correspondence between theseelements/compounds and the normal composition of each material concerned. In other words, for everymaterial there is an obligation to determine all the compounds listed, independently of the relevance ofsuch controls.Cross References:2011/65/EU2000/53/ECEN 10181EN 62321IEC 62321 EN 62321-1IEC 62321-1ISO 16918-1
