THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

KOMISIJA EVROPSKIH SKUPNOSTI JE –

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

ob upoštevanju Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 on a revised Community eco-label award scheme [1], and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,

ob upoštevanju Uredbe (ES) št. 1980/2000 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 17. julija 2000 o spremenjenem sistemu Skupnosti za podeljevanje znaka za okolje [1] in zlasti drugega pododstavka člena 6(1) Uredbe,

Whereas:

ob upoštevanju naslednjega:

(1) Under Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 the Community eco-label may be awarded to a product possessing characteristics which enable it to contribute significantly to improvements in relation to key environmental aspects.

(1) V skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 1980/2000 se lahko znak Skupnosti za okolje podeli proizvodu z značilnostmi, ki lahko znatno prispevajo k izboljšanju glede ključnih vidikov okolja.

(2) Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 provides that specific eco-label criteria, drawn up on the basis of the criteria drafted by the European Union Eco-Labelling Board, are to be established according to product groups.

(2) Uredba (ES) št. 1980/2000 določa, da je treba na podlagi meril, ki jih pripravi Odbor Evropske unije za znak za okolje, določiti posamezna merila za podelitev znaka za okolje po skupinah proizvodov.

(3) It also provides that the review of the eco-label criteria, as well as of the assessment and verification requirements related to those criteria, is to take place in due time before the end of the period of validity of the criteria specified for the product group concerned.

(3) Določa tudi, da se pregled meril za podelitev znaka za okolje ter zahtev za ocenjevanje in preverjanje, ki se nanje nanašajo, izvede pravočasno, pred iztekom veljavnosti meril, določenih za zadevno skupino proizvodov.

(4) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000, a timely review has been carried out of the ecological criteria, as well as of the related assessment and verification requirements established by Commission Decision 2002/739/EC of 3 September 2002 establishing revised ecological criteria for the award of the Community eco-label to indoor paints and varnishes and amending Decision 1999/10/EC [2]. Those ecological criteria and the related assessment and verification requirements are valid until 28 February 2009.

(4) V skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 1980/2000 je bil pravočasno izveden pregled okoljskih meril ter z njimi povezanih zahtev za ocenjevanje in preverjanje, določenih v Odločbi Komisije 2002/739/ES z dne 3. septembra 2002 o določitvi spremenjenih okoljskih meril za podelitev znaka za okolje Skupnosti za notranje barve in lake ter o spremembi Odločbe 1999/10/ES [2]. Ta ekološka merila ter z njimi povezane zahteve za ocenjevanje in preverjanje veljajo do 28. februarja 2009.

(5) In the light of this review, it is appropriate, in order to take account of scientific and market developments, to modify the definition of the product group and to establish new ecological criteria.

(5) Na podlagi tega pregleda je primerno spremeniti opredelitev skupine proizvodov in določiti nova okoljska merila, da se bosta upoštevala znanstveni in tržni razvoj.

(6) Decision 2002/739/EC should therefore be replaced.

(6) Zato je treba Odločbo 2002/739/ES nadomestiti.

(7) The ecological criteria, as well as the related assessment and verification requirements, should be valid until four years from the date of notification of this Decision.

(7) Okoljska merila ter povezane zahteve za ocenjevanje in preverjanje se morajo uporabljati do štiri leta od datuma uradnega obvestila o tej odločbi.

(8) A transitional period should be allowed for producers whose products have been awarded the eco-label for indoor paints and varnishes before 18 August 2008 or who have applied for such an award before 18 August 2008 so that they have sufficient time to adapt their products to comply with the revised criteria and requirements. For the sake of legal certainty, until 28 February 2009 producers should be allowed to submit applications set out under the criteria set in Decision 2002/739/EC or set out under the criteria set in this Decision. After this date only the criteria set out in this Decision should apply.

(8) Proizvajalcem, katerih proizvodi so pridobili znak za okolje za notranje barve in lake pred 18. avgustom 2008 ali ki so do tega datuma zaprosili za podelitev tega znaka, je treba odobriti prehodno obdobje, da bodo imeli dovolj časa, da prilagodijo svoje proizvode, tako da bodo skladni s spremenjenimi merili in zahtevami. Zaradi pravne varnosti je treba proizvajalcem do 28. februarja 2009 dovoliti, da predložijo vloge na podlagi meril iz Odločbe 2002/739/ES ali na podlagi meril iz te odločbe. Po tem datumu se uporabljajo samo merila iz te odločbe.

(9) Measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee instituted by Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000,

(9) Ukrepi, predvideni s to odločbo, so v skladu z mnenjem odbora, ustanovljenega na podlagi člena 17 Uredbe (ES) št. 1980/2000 –

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

ANNEX

PRILOGA

A. FRAMEWORK

A. OKVIR

The aims of the criteria

Cilji meril

These criteria aim in particular at:

Namen teh meril je predvsem:

- the efficient use of the product and the minimisation of waste,

- učinkovita raba proizvoda in zmanjšanje količine odpadkov,

- reducing the environmental and other risks (such as tropospheric ozone) by reducing solvent emissions,

- zmanjšanje okoljskih in drugih tveganj (na primer troposferskega ozona) z zmanjšanjem emisij topil,

- reducing the discharges of toxic or otherwise polluting substances into waters. The criteria are set at levels that promote the labelling of interior paints and varnishes which have a lower environmental impact.

- zmanjšati izpust toksičnih in drugih onesnažujočih snovi v vodo. Merila so določena po ravneh, ki spodbujajo označevanje notranjih barv in lakov z manjšim vplivom na okolje.

Assessment and verification requirements

Zahteve za ocenjevanje in preverjanje

The specific assessment and verification requirements are indicated within each criterion.

Pri vsakem merilu so navedene posebne zahteve za ocenjevanje in preverjanje.

Where the applicant is required to provide declarations, documentation, analyses, test reports, or other evidence to show compliance with the criteria, it is understood that these may originate from the applicant and/or his supplier(s) and/or their supplier(s), etc., as appropriate.

Če mora vlagatelj predložiti izjave, dokumentacijo, analize, preskusna poročila ali druge dokaze o izpolnjevanju meril, lahko ti izvirajo od vlagatelja in/ali njegovih dobaviteljev in/ali njihovih dobaviteljev itd.

Where appropriate, test methods other than those indicated for each criterion may be used if their equivalence is accepted by the competent body assessing the application.

Kjer je to primerno, se lahko poleg preskusnih metod, ki so navedene za vsako merilo, uporabijo tudi druge, če jih pristojni organ, ki ocenjuje vlogo, odobri za enakovredne.

Where appropriate, competent bodies may require supporting documentation and may carry out independent verifications.

Kjer je to primerno, lahko pristojni organi zahtevajo dokazno dokumentacijo in izvedejo neodvisna preverjanja.

The competent bodies are recommended to take into account the implementation of recognised environmental management schemes, such as EMAS or EN ISO14001, when assessing applications and monitoring compliance with the criteria (Note: it is not required to implement such management schemes).

Pristojnim organom se priporoča, da pri ocenjevanju vlog in spremljanju skladnosti z merili upoštevajo izvajanje priznanih sistemov okoljskega ravnanja, kot sta EMAS ali EN ISO 14001 (opomba: izvajanje takih sistemov ni obvezno).

Where ingredients are referred to in the criteria, this includes substances and preparations. The definitions of "substances" and "preparations" are given in the REACH Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council [1].

Če so v merilih navedene sestavine, to vključuje snovi in pripravke. Opredelitvi "snovi" in "pripravki" sta podani v Uredbi REACH (Uredba (ES) št. 1907/2006 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta [1]).

The exact formulation of the product should be provided to the competent body for all ingoing substances that are used by the applicant. Any substance, including impurities, present in concentrations greater than 0,01 % (m/m) should be reported unless a lower concentration is specified elsewhere in the criteria.

Pristojnemu organu je treba zagotoviti točno formulacijo proizvoda za vse dodane snovi, ki jih uporablja vlagatelj. Navesti je treba vsako snov, vključno z nečistočami, katere koncentracija presega 0,01 % (m/m), razen če je drugje v merilu navedena nižja koncentracija.

B. ECOLOGICAL CRITERIA

B. OKOLJSKA MERILA

All criteria except criterion 3 concerning VOC limits shall apply to the paint or varnish in its packaging. In line with Directive 2004/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council [2] the VOC limits relate to the ready to use product and so the maximum VOC content should be calculated based on any recommended additions such as colorants and/or thinners. For this calculation, data supplied by the raw material suppliers regarding solids content, VOC content and product density will be required.

Za barvo ali lak v embalaži se uporabljajo vsa merila, razen merila 3, ki se nanaša na hlapne organske snovi. V skladu z Direktivo 2004/42/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta [2] veljajo omejitve za hlapne organske snovi za vse končne proizvode, zato se najvišjo vsebnost hlapnih organskih snovi izračuna na podlagi kakršnih koli priporočljivih dodatkov, kot so barvila in/ali razredčila. Za namene tega izračuna bodo dobavitelji surovin morali navesti podatke o vsebnosti trdih delcev, hlapnih organskih snovi in gostoti proizvoda.

Criteria 1 and 2 apply only to white and light-coloured paints (including finishes, primers, undercoats and/or intermediates).

Merili 1 in 2 se uporabljata samo za bele in svetle barve (vključno s končnimi, temeljnimi, osnovnimi in/ali vmesnimi premazi).

For tinting systems, criteria 1 and 2 apply only to the white base (the base containing the most TiO2). In cases where the white base is unable to achieve the requirement of at least 8 m2 per litre at a hiding power of 98 % according to criterion 7(a), the criteria shall be met after tinting to produce the standard colour RAL 9010.

Pri sistemih za niansiranje veljata merili 1 in 2 samo za bele osnove (osnova, ki vsebuje največ TiO2). Če bela osnova ne izpolnjuje zahteve o najmanj 8 m2 na liter pri prekrivnosti 98 % v skladu z merilom 7(a), je treba merilo izpolniti po niansiranju, ko nastane standardna barva RAL 9010.

Criteria 1 and 2 do not apply to transparent coatings.

Merili 1 in 2 ne veljata za prozorne premaze.

1. White pigments

1. Bela barvila

White pigment content (white inorganic pigments with a refractive index higher than 1,8): Paints shall have a white pigment content lower or equal to 36 g per m2 of dry film, with 98 % opacity. This requirement does not apply to varnishes and woodstains.

Vsebnost belega barvila (belo anorgansko barvilo z lomnim količnikom, višjim od 1,8): Barve morajo imeti vsebnost belega barvila manjšo ali enako 36 g na m2 suhega filma z 98 % motnostjo. Ta zahteva ne velja za lake in barve za les.

Assessment and verification: The applicant shall either provide a declaration of non-use or provide documentation showing the content of white pigments and the spreading rate, together with the detailed calculation showing compliance with this criterion.

Ocenjevanje in preverjanje: Vlagatelj predloži izjavo o neuporabi ali dokumentacijo, ki dokazuje vsebnost belega barvila in razlivnost, ter natančen izračun, iz katerega je razvidna skladnost s tem merilom.

2. Titanium dioxide

2. Titanov dioksid

Titanium dioxide: The emissions and discharges of wastes from the production of any titanium dioxide pigment used shall not exceed the following (as derived from the Reference Document on Best Available Technology for the Manufacture of Large Volume Inorganic Chemicals (BREF) (August 2007)):

Titanov dioksid: Emisije in odpadki, nastali pri proizvodnji titan dioksidnega barvila ne smejo presegati (na podlagi referenčnega dokumenta o najboljših razpoložljivih tehnologijah za proizvodnjo anorganskih kemičnih snovi v velikih količinah, BREF, avgust 2007):

- SOx emissions (expressed as SO2): 252 mg per m2 of dry film (98 % opacity),

- emisije SOx (izražene kot SO2): 252 mg na m2 suhega filma (98 % motnost),

- sulphate wastes: 18 g per m2 of dry film (98 % opacity),

- odpadni sulfati: 18 g na m2 suhega filma (98 % motnost),

- chloride wastes: 3,7, 6,4 and 11,9 g per m2 of dry film (98 % opacity) respectively, for natural rutile, synthetic rutile and slag ores.

- odpadni kloridi: 3,7, 6,4 in 11,9 g na m2 suhega filma (98 % motnost) za naravni rutil, sintetični rutil oziroma žlindro.

Assessment and verification: The applicant shall either provide a declaration of non-use or provide the supporting documentation indicating the respective levels of emissions and discharges of wastes for these parameters, the titanium dioxide content of the product, the spreading rate, together with the detailed calculations showing compliance with this criterion.

Ocenjevanje in preverjanje: Vlagatelj predloži izjavo o neuporabi ali dokazno dokumentacijo, iz katere so razvidne ravni emisij in izpusti odpadkov za te parametre, vsebnost titanovega dioksida v proizvodu in razlivnost, ter natančen izračun, iz katerega je razvidna skladnost s tem merilom.

7. Fitness-for-use

7. Primernost za uporabo

(a) Spreading rate: White paints and light-coloured paints (including finishes, primers, undercoats and/or intermediates) shall have a spreading rate (at a hiding power of 98 %) of at least 8 m2 per litre of product.

(a) Razlivnost: Bele in svetle barve (vključno s končnimi, temeljnimi, osnovnimi in/ali vmesnimi premazi) morajo imeti razlivnost (pri prekrivnosti 98 %) najmanj 8 m2 na liter proizvoda.

For tinting systems, this criterion applies only to the white base (the base containing the most TiO2). In cases where the white base is unable to achieve the requirement of at least 8 m2 per litre at a hiding power of 98 %, the criterion shall be met after tinting the white base to produce the standard colour RAL 9010. For all other bases used to produce tinted products — these are bases which as a rule contain less TiO2, which are unable to achieve the requirement of at least 8 m2 per litre of product at a hiding power of 98 % — the criterion shall not apply. For paints that are a part of a tinting system, the applicant must advise the end-user on the product packaging and/or POS which shade or primer/undercoat (if possible bearing the Community Eco-label) should be used as a basecoat before applying the darker shade.

Pri sistemih za niansiranje velja to merilo samo za belo osnovo (osnova, ki vsebuje največ TiO2). Če bela osnova ne izpolnjuje zahteve po najmanj 8 m2 na liter pri prekrivnosti 98 %, je treba merilo izpolniti po niansiranju bele osnove, ko nastane standardna barva RAL 9010. Za vse ostale osnove, ki se uporabljajo za niansirane proizvode – osnove, ki praviloma vsebujejo manj TiO2 in ne izpolnjujejo zahteve po najmanj 8 m2 na liter proizvoda pri prekrivnosti 98 % – merilo ne velja. Pri barvah, ki so del sistema za niansiranje, morajo vlagatelji končnemu uporabniku na embalaži proizvoda in/ali na prodajnih mestih priporočiti, kateri odtenek ali temeljni/osnovni premaz (z znakom Skupnosti za okolje, če je možno) naj uporabijo za podlago pred nanosom temnejšega odtenka.

Primers with specific blocking/sealing, penetrating/binding properties and primers with special adhesion properties for aluminium and galvanised surfaces shall have a spreading rate (at a hiding power of 98 %) of at least 6 m2 per litre of product.

Temeljni premazi s specifičnimi lastnostmi zapiranja por, lastnostmi prodiranja in vezivnimi lastnostmi ter temeljni premazi s posebnimi lastnostmi oprijemljivosti za aluminij in pocinkane površine morajo imeti razlivnost (pri prekrivnosti 98 %) najmanj 6 m2 na liter proizvoda.

Thick decorative coatings (paints that are specially designed to give a three-dimensional decorative effect and are therefore characterised by a very thick coat) shall alternatively have a spreading power of 1 m2 per kg of product.

Debeli dekorativni premazi (barve, ki so narejene posebej za tridimenzionalni dekorativni učinek in je zato za njih značilna zelo debela plast) morajo imeti razlivnost 1 m2 na kg proizvoda.

This requirement does not apply to varnishes, woodstains, floor coatings, floor paints, undercoats, adhesion primers or any other transparent coatings.

Ta zahteva ne velja za lake, barve za les, talne premaze, talne barve, osnovne premaze, temeljne premaze za povečanje oprijemljivosti ali katere koli druge prozorne premaze.

Assessment and verification: The applicant shall provide a test report using the method ISO 6504/1 (Paints and varnishes — determination of hiding power — Part 1: Kubelka-Munk method for white and light-coloured paints) or 6504/3 (Part 3: determination of contrast ratio (opacity) of light-coloured paints at a fixed spreading rate), or for paints specially designed to give a three-dimensional decorative effect and characterised by a very thick coat the method NF T 30 073 (or equivalent). For bases used to produce tinted products not evaluated according to the abovementioned requirements, the applicant shall produce evidence of how the end-user will be advised to use a primer and/or grey (or other relevant shade) of undercoat before application of the product.

Ocenjevanje in preverjanje: Vlagatelj zagotovi poročilo o preskusu z uporabo metode ISO 6504/1 (Barve in laki – določanje moči pokrivanja – 1. del: metoda Kubelka-Munk za bele in svetle barve) ali 6504/3 (3. del: ugotavljanje kontrastnega razmerja med pastelnimi niansami pri nespremenjeni razlivnosti), ali (za barve s tridimenzionalnim dekorativnim učinkom, za katere je značilna zelo debela plast) metode NF T 30073 (ali enakovredne). Za osnove za niansirane proizvode, ki niso ocenjeni v skladu z zgoraj navedenimi zahtevami, vlagatelj predloži dokaz, kako bo končnemu uporabniku priporočil, da pred uporabo proizvoda uporabi temeljni premaz in/ali siv (ali v drugem ustreznem odtenku) osnovni premaz.
