This document specifies existing methods for the determination of the content of specific organic substances in construction products.

The following parameters are covered: BTEX, biocides, dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs, mineral oil, nonylphenols, PAH, PCB, PCP, PBDE, and short-chain chlorinated paraffins.

NOTE 1 Methods still under development or available at national level only are listed in Annex B for PFOS, PFOA, HBCD and EOX. The methods can be included in the normative text as soon as full EN standards are available.

NOTE 2 Methods that have not been validated for construction products, because no suitable material was available at the time of the robustness validation, only are listed in Annex B. This applies to organotin compounds, phenols and phthalates.

The methods listed in this document come from different fields and are expected to be suitable for organic substances in organic extracts from all types of constructions products.

The methods in this document are validated for the product types listed in Annex A.

NOTE 3 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.Cross References:EN 16687:2015EN ISO 17294-1:2006CEN/TR 16045:2010EN 16181 EN 16190EN 14039EN ISO 22032CEN/TR 14823CEN/TS 16182EN ISO 18219EN 15637NEN 7331EN 17087EN 16167 EN ISO/IEC 17025EN 15308EN ISO 5667-3CEN/TS 16183DIN 38414-14IEC 62321-9CEN/TR 16496CEN/TS 15968EN 15527 DIN 38414-17EN ISO 23161CEN/TR 16220EOTA TR 034ISO/TS 13530ISO 5725-1:1994ISO 5725-4:1994ISO 5725-6:1994ISO 5725-5:1998ISO 5725-3:1994ISO 5725-2:1994
