Call for tender - NAErg - DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V.

Call for tenderfor three Technical Project Leaders andfor three Peer Review Laboratoriesfor the development of standardized methods on the analysis ofchemical substances in toys andfor the elaboration of European StandardsLaunch: 2010-06-09IIntroductionI.1 GeneralThe following three projects which require the development and validation of standardized testmethods are subject to this call for tender:1. Revision of EN 71-3 “Safety of toys – Part 3: Migration of certain elements” (see Annex A.1and A.2)2. Elaboration of a new standard EN 71-X “Safety of toys – Part X: N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances” (see Annex A.3 and A.4)3. Revision of EN 71-7 "Safety of toys - Part 7: Finger paints - Requirements and test methods”(see Annex A.5 and A.6)For each of those projects, a technical project leader (a company which will carry out the tasksdescribed in A.1, A.3 or A.5) and a peer review laboratory (a company which will carry out the tasksdescribed in A.2, A.4 or A.6) will be contracted which will cooperate in the development and validationof the required test method(s). In addition, the test method(s) for the projects 1 and 2 will be validatedin a round robin test.These new test method(s) will form the basis for the drafting of the new and revised standards, withparticipation of the technical project leader.I.2 ContextWith mandate M/445 of July 2009, the European Commission (EC) asked the European Committee forStandardization (CEN) to adjust existing European standards to the requirements of Directive2009/48/EC which revised Directive 88/378/EEC and to elaborate new standards, if necessary.The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a business facilitator in Europe, removing tradebarriers for European industry and consumers. Its mission is to foster the European economy in globaltrading, the welfare of European citizens and the environment. Through its services it provides aplatform for the development of European Standards and other technical specifications. It consists of31 national standardisation organisations which work together to develop voluntary EuropeanStandards (ENs) and the CEN CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC).In September 2009 the CEN Technical Board (BT) accepted mandate M/445 and allocated the work tothe Technical Committee CEN/TC 52 "Safety of toys". The Danish standardisation institute (DS, DanskStandard) holds the secretariat of CEN/TC 52.The working group CEN/TC 52/WG 5 is responsible for the development of standards in the area ofchemical aspects of the safety of toys. The German standardisation institute (DIN, Deutsches Institutfür Normung e.V.) operates the secretariat of CEN/TC 52/WG 5 and will execute the administrativemanagement of the standardization work.

In order to be able to carry out the tasks required by mandate M/445, CEN/TC 52/WG 5 establishedthree task groups (TG):CEN/TC 52/WG 5/TG 1 "Chemical toys"CEN/TC 52/WG 5/TG 2 "Migration of certain elements"CEN/TC 52/WG 5/TG 3 "Nitrosamines and nitrosatable substances"The work of each single TG is directly related to one specific project under mandate M/445.Standardized methods of analysis are of utmost importance for guaranteeing a uniform application andcontrol of the European legislation in all Member States and a high level of safety of toys. For thisreason, the revision of existing and the elaboration of new safety standards on chemical properties oftoys require standardized test methods which are subject to this call for tender.I.3 Scope and regulationOn 20 July 2009 Directive 2009/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009on the Safety of Toys (TSD) came into force, revising Directive 88/378/EEC on the approximation ofthe laws of the Member States concerning the safety of toys. The revised Directive focuses onenhanced safety requirements for toys, namely with regard to the use of chemicals in toys.In order to take into account new scientific knowledge, the revised Directive 2009/48/EC (TSD)provides for an update of certain chemical substances to be used in toys and sets limit values forthese substances. The revised Directive replaces the reference to bioavailability (i.e. the solubleextract having toxicological significance) with “migration”.Furthermore the TSD contains new requirements on N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances intoys intended for use by children under 36 months or which are intended to be placed in the mouth.Toys subject to Directive 2009/48/EC must comply with the general safety requirements (Article 10paragraph 2) and the specific safety requirements as set out in Annex II.Article 13 of Directive 2009/48/EC states that toys which are in conformity with harmonised standardsor parts thereof, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the EuropeanUnion, shall be presumed to be in conformity with the requirements covered by those standards orparts thereof, set out in Article 10 and in Annex II. The new standards shall contain an informativeannex describing its relation to Directive 2009/48/EC and stating which requirements of the TSD arecovered by the standard.The standards shall also include an informative annex with the background and justification for therequirements.IIObjectivesThe mandate requires the drafting of several European standards. The following three standardswhich require the development and validation of test methods are subject to this call for tender:• EN 71-3 "Safety of toys - Part 3: Migration of certain elements" (Revision)• EN 71-7 "Safety of toys - Part 7: Finger paints - Requirements and test methods" (Revision)• EN 71-X "Safety of toys - Part X: N-Nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances" (newstandard)IIIIII.1ExecutionGeneralThe execution of the mandate will be divided into several projects. For each of the threestandardisation projects on the safety of chemical properties of toys, a technical project leader and apeer review laboratory will be appointed for technical work. DIN will carry out the procedural work andsign the contracts with the selected subcontractors following authorization by EC.
