Construction products - Assessment of release of dangerous substances - Barriers to use - Extension to CEN/TR 15855 Barriers to trade

This TR is an extension to CEN/TR 15855:2009. This original report on Barriers to Trade, prepared in response to Mandate M/366 given to CEN/TC 351 by the European Commission, identified that some of these barriers were truly technical or legal  barriers to trade  which can usually be overcome or minimised by technical harmonisation work, but others were quite legally in place, sometimes voluntary, but were nonetheless still seen as a barrier to the use of certain products in a free market place. This report is an examination of these concepts in more detail and an attempt to identify the reasons behind the presence of barriers to use and to present specific examples in more detail.

Bauprodukte - Bewertung der Freisetzung von gefährlichen Stoffen - Nutzungsbarrieren - Erweiterung von CEN/TR 15855 zu Handelsbarrieren

Produits de construction - Evaluation de l'émission de substances dangereuses - Barrières à l'utilisation - Extension du CEN/TR 15855 Barrières aux échanges

Gradbeni proizvodi - Ocenjevanje sproščanja nevarnih snovi - Ovire pri uporabi - Razširitev CEN/TR 15855 Ovire pri trgovanju

V tehničnem poročilu CEN 15855 sta obravnavana koncept in dejansko stanje ovir pri trgovanju z gradbenimi proizvodi v Evropski uniji v smislu vpliva predpisov v zvezi z bistveno zahtevo 3 (ER3) direktive o gradbenih proizvodih (89/106/EGS) na proizvode. Organ CEN/TR 15855 je na kratko preučil temo ovir pri uporabi, pri čemer je bilo ugotovljeno, da so lahko navedene ovire vsaj toliko pomembne kot tehnične ovire pri trgovanju. Evropska komisija je ob upoštevanju teh ugotovitev zaprosila za razširitev poročila, da bi se nadalje preučili razlogi za ovire pri uporabi gradbenih proizvodov in njihov obseg v Evropski uniji (v smislu povezave z bistveno zahtevo 3 direktive o gradbenih proizvodih). V tem poročilu so dodatno preučene vrste ovir ter temeljni razlogi za njihov nastanek in nadaljnji obstoj, kot je hvalevreden cilj za zaščito zdravja.
