Introduction
The regulatory and technical background for this document is explained in CEN/TR 17105 [1]. General
information on ecotoxicity assessment is also provided there. This document describes the assessment
of ecotoxicological properties of eluates of construction products received from horizontal leaching tests
harmonized by CEN/TC 351.
Aquatic ecotoxicity tests can be applied to eluates of construction products which come into contact with
soil or water in their intended use as described in CEN/TR 16098:2010, 3.2.2.2 Products relevant for soil,
surface water or groundwater [3] and in CEN/TS 16637-1. The test procedure specified in this document
covers construction products defined in the scope. Validation data are provided in Annex A.
This document is recommended to Technical Committees for construction products (product TCs), if they
have been mandated to address ecotoxicity in their product standards or if they are interested to include
ecotoxicity in a dossier prepared in the context of qualifications for a “without testing” status. This
document is also recommended to EOTA in case there is a wish to include ecotoxicity testing in European
Assessment Documents.
