CEN/TC 351 is now focusing in the process to transform technical specifications to standards. In particular the robustness validation of the already published documents.

WG 1 RELEASE INTO SOIL AND WATER

The situation of the projects is the following:

• prCEN/TS 16637-3 was approved and will be published and used for the robustness validations tests.
• CEN/TS 16637-1, the specification will be revised, taking the approved CEN/TS 16637-3 into account
• CEN/TS 16637-2, the document is ready for the 2nd validation. The text will be revised to keep coherence with the new TS 3.

The group also created a subgroup to develop a technical report ecotoxicological evaluation and biodegradability.

WG 2 EMISSION TO INDOOR AIR

The test method standard (EN 16516) will be submitted to formal vote soon. The group is also working on the test method for ammonia emission under REACH mandate.

WG 3 RADIATION
