Exceptions for assessment of materials used in minor and assembled components

For assembled products: minor components, parts and materials shall be described in detail and testing shall be reduced accordingly. For this purpose, ‘minor’ refers to a level of influence on the quality of water intended for human consumption that does not require full testing.

MTCtap:

Maximum tolerable concentration at the tap (either derived from the opinion of ECHA for the purposes of inclusion of the substance in the European positive list, or based on a specific migration limit set in Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 () and considering a 10 % allocation factor and water consumption of 2 litres per day)

GCMS:

Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (screening method)

Note 1:

Specific exceptions to be determined in line with point 5 of this Annex.

Note 2:

Metals shall not be subject to organoleptic testing because it is generally accepted that if the parametric values set out in Annex I are met, organoleptic problems are unlikely to arise.

Note 3:

Depending on the existence of organic substances in the composition.
