4 Safety principles
4.1 Safety data sheets
th
A safety data sheet, in accordance with the standard (European Directive 2001/58/EC of July 27 2001 or
ISO 11014-1), must be available.

---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------
prEN 15366:2005 (E)
The national authorities of the country where the absorbent shall be used may demand proof that the
declarations in the SDS are correct.
4.2 Human health and environmental properties
According to this standard no absorbents shall be used on roads, which are classified as “dangerous” with
respect to European Directive 67/548, Article 2 (2).
Products must fulfill the European regulations for disposal in landfill according to European Decision 2003/33,
attachment, chapter 2.2.2., at L/S 10 l/kg (except sulphate).
5 Functional specifications for solid absorbents intended for road usage
The specifications for absorbents that follow specify the requirements for road usage. These specifications are
designed to ensure the safety of road users and to limit the dissemination of pollutants into the environment.
5.1 Skid resistance
The variations in the skid resistance of the surface are assessed using the test protocol described in Annex A.
Part 1: Skid resistance of wet absorbent
Part 2: Skid resistance of the road surface after removal of contaminated absorbent
The required minimum values are for part 1 and part 2:
SRT Final Coefficient ≥≥≥≥ 85 %SRT initial Coefficient
The skid resistance is measured using the apparatus described in EN 14231.
5.2 Absorbency
The absorbency is assessed using the test protocol described in Annex B.
The minimum absorbency of hydrocarbons (gas oil) is set at 50 % wt.
The absorbency of water will be measured.
5.3 Identification of the absorbent
A technical data sheet will be issued with the absorbent. This data sheet will list the composition of the product
stating the standardized test methods used (referred in Annex D) and the physical properties of the product.
The objective is to know the ID card of the product.
6 Sampling for tests
The specifications for absorbents that follow specify the requirements for samples to be tested in an external
testing laboratory.
6.1 Sample definition
If the product is already on the market, the sample is an original unopened, packed, conditioned absorbent.
This sample shall be marked to have a traceability of the product (Name, sample number…).
5
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
prEN 15366:2005 (E)
Otherwise, the claimant has to give a guarantee that the sample sent corresponds in all properties to the
product quality to be sold later on (minimum quantity: 5kg).
Technical data sheet and safety data sheet must be sent with the product.
6.2 Sampling
Sampling in the laboratory is made in accordance with ISO 8213.
After testing, the remaining marked representative samples will be stored for 6 months in the testing
laboratory.
7 Marking, labelling, packaging
Absorbents intended for road usage shall bear labels or imprints, A.5 size or larger, and in compliance with
the requirements and should include the following additional information on each bag in one of the languages
generally understood in the country where the product is sold.
The marking contains:
the nature of the product including a list of essential components;
R indicates: suitable for road purposes;
reference to the usage: "Absorbent for use on road surfaces and traffic areas".
reference to this standard;
product name or product brand name;
name of producer or distributor or other official identification code;
a code for product traceability for at least two years;
the contents of the package either in kilograms or in litres, with an indication of bulk density;
absorbency for hydrocarbons and for water as per this standard;
conditions for exposure, handling and storage extracted from the safety data sheet as defined in
ISO 11014-1;
statement of the obligations and the risks of using absorbents on roads;
Absorbents contaminated by pollutants may present the same dangers as the absorbed pollutants.
They should be handled and stored with the same precautions.
Used absorbents should be removed from the road surface and collected, labelled and disposed of in
accordance with the legislation in force.”
any other information concerning health and safety in use must be added to this marking.
A template label is included in Annex C.

Annex A
(normative)
Determination of the variation in the skid resistance of a road surface or
traffic area caused by the presence of an absorbent
A.1 Scope
This protocol describes laboratory test methods to assess the variation in the skid resistance of a road surface
or traffic area following hydrocarbon pollution, treated with an absorbent.
Part 1: Skid resistance of wet absorbent
Part 2: Skid resistance of the road surface after removal of contaminated absorbent
A.2 References
Refer to standards EN 590 and EN 14231 and EN 13036-1 (Next European standard…)
A.3 Principle
The test method consists of determining the variation in the skid resistance of a road surface or traffic area
following hydrocarbon pollution, treated with an absorbent to be tested.
A.4 Apparatus
A.4.1 Apparatus
A Pendulum friction tester, as described in EN 14231, will be used to determine the skid resistance of the road
surface.
A.4.2 Reference test surfaces
1)
The reference test surfaces are made of replicas of road surfaces made of resin , which size is 280 by
200 mm of the 0/10 mm semi-granular asphalt concrete type, with a basic SRT friction factor greater than 0.50,
as defined in EN 14231, and a mean macro texture depth greater than 0.6 mm, as defined in EN 13036-1.
A.4.3 Demineralized water
A.4.4 Reference hydrocarbon
The reference hydrocarbon used to contaminate the road surface and the absorbent is of the diesel fuel type
(EN 590 – TC 19 – Mineral oil - Normal type – Not winter type).
A.5 Special instructions
These instructions are intended to guarantee the reproducibility of the measurements of the skid resistance
following contamination by hydrocarbons.
1) Replica made of resin by pouring into a silicone rubber cast of the road surface. Each EU country has such a footprint
– Reference surface made with silicon is stored in AIPCR.

Measurements will be taken in a laboratory at a constant temperature (21±3°C). The materials and
measurement apparatus will be stored at this temperature.
Mounting of the resin surface and of the pendulum shall be rigid. Care must be taken to ensure that there
is no
