DIN CEN/TR 16098 DIN SPEC 91180:2012-09

This Technical Report (TR), taking into account the state of the art in the Member States, identifies the role of testing in the assessment of construction products in view of possible emissions and makes recommendations on the testing procedures. The TR reviews in accordance with the experience already gained, the basis for deciding whether or not the use of horizontal test method standards for construction products is practicable and/or necessary in the sense of article 7.2 of the Construction Products Directive, and the Guidance Papers, in particular Guidance Papers H and M. The Technical Report also recommends how harmonized technical specifications (e. g. harmonized product standards) should address the subject of regulated dangerous substances. The TR also recommends how the expertise of product Technical Committees and EOTA Working Groups can be used when drafting the horizontal test method standards. The TR provides recommendations for complete testing procedures in the overall framework according to the methods for the Attestation of Conformity.
