Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) Standard Required for GS (Geprüfte Sicherheit) Safety Testing
January 23rd 2008:
The German Committee for Commercial Equipment and Consumer Products (ATAV) has now made previously voluntary testing for polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) a standard requirement necessary for GS (Geprüfte Sicherheit) safety testing product certification. This will include electronic products intended for use in households and in the workplace. Learn more.
The PAH family of chemicals includes compounds with extended resonant cyclic structure, such as naphthalene, anthracene, tetracene, pentacene and higher compounds. They are used as additives in vulcanized rubber, as plasticizers, and as black pigments in polymers, among other applications. Some jurisdictions, such as Canada, are tracking PAHs onto legislated toxic substance schedules.
