This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 13 March 2022 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

Introduction
Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 [3] lays down the rules on the making available on the market of EU

The specific safety and quality requirements in relation to specific contaminants (i.e. the mercury,
cadmium, nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic, lead, chromium VI, biuret, perchlorate and total chromium
content) are defined in this document as well as normative references of the test methods to be used in
order to measure the compliance with the related requirement in the Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 [3].

1 Scope
This document specifies references to methods for the determination of the following contaminants:
