Absorbent hygiene products - Test methods for analyzing trace chemicals |
Scope
The planned CEN Workshop specifies a test method to analyze trace chemicals, suitable to test the trace chemicals that authorities and stakeholders are closely monitoring and that are included in the EDANA CODEX TM.
The CEN Workshop does not plan to describe product safety requirements. Limit values are not going to be defined in the CEN Workshop Agreement. The focus will be on defining a unified test method. The test method can be used as a basis for identifying and assessing trace chemicals, which can also be used as a basis for defining limits.
The planned CEN Workshop is intended to be used by manufacturers (producers), authorities, retailers and other stakeholders, as NGO’s and consumer associations.
