Commission communication in the framework of the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(Publication of titles and references of harmonised standards under entry 27 of Annex XVII to REACH)

2012/C 142/05

ESO (1)

Reference and title of the harmonised standard

(and reference document)

Reference of superseded standard

CEN

EN 1811:2011

Reference test method for release of nickel from all post assemblies which are inserted into pierced parts of the human body and articles intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin

EN 1811:1998 + A1:2008

The new standard EN 1811:2011 has a narrower scope than the superseded standard. On 31 March 2013, the (partially) superseded standard ceases to apply with regards to the test methods for demonstrating compliance with the conditions of the restriction for the products that fall within the scope of the new standard.

CEN

EN 12472:2005 + A1:2009

Method for the simulation of wear and corrosion for the detection of nickel release from coated items

EN 12472:2005

CEN

EN 16128:2011

Reference test method for release of nickel from those parts of spectacle frames and sunglasses intended to come into close and prolonged contact with the skin

EN 1811:1998 + A1:2008

The new standard EN 16128:2011 takes over from the superseded standard the same test methods for demonstrating conformity with the conditions of the restriction under entry 27 of Annex XVII to REACH until a new standard for spectacle frames and sunglasses will be developed.

NOTE:

Any information concerning the availability of the standards can be obtained either from the European Standardisation Organisations or from the national standardisation bodies of which the list is annexed to the Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council amended by the Directive 98/48/EC.

Harmonised standards are adopted by the European Standardisation Organisations in English (CEN and Cenelec also publish in French and German). Subsequently, the titles of the harmonised standards are translated into all other required official languages of the European Union by the National Standards Bodies. The European Commission is not responsible for the correctness of the titles which have been presented for publication in the Official Journal.

Publication of the references in the Official Journal of the European Union does not imply that the standards are available in all the Community languages.

This list replaces all the previous lists published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The Commission ensures the updating of this list.
