CEN/TC 283/WG 4 - Health and safety aspects

This European Standard specifies a method for accelerated wear and corrosion, to be used prior to the detection of nickel release from coated items that come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin.

This European Standard specifies a method for simulating the release of nickel from articles intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin in order to determine whether such items release nickel at a rate greater than 0,5 ug/cm2/week.

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of nickel in aluminium, titanium, copper, silver, gold and their alloys and in steels by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The method is primarily suitable when the nickel content of a sample lies between 0,03% and 0,07% (m/m).
