Contact AnneliIn some cases, in order to ensure that construction products do not emit hazardous substances to water and soil, there are requirements for products to be leached in accordance with SIS-CEN /TS 16637-2.
The leaching and the analyses of the leachate give you as a customer information on whether the product meets the requirements or not.
The leaching according to SIS-CEN/TS 16637-2 takes place in several steps and the total leaching time according to the standard is 64 days. Leaching takes place in water at room temperature. In all leaching steps, samples can be taken for analysis of, for example metals, anions, pH and conductivity.
The results are delivered in a report.
