In 2005, the EU issued the "Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Directive" (PAHs Directive 2005/69/EC), which restricts the use of 18 PAHs including benzopyrene (Bap). Based on what has happened in German ports
The fact that the PAHs of imported products exceed the standard, the German Safety Technology Certification Center
The Experience Exchange Office (ZLS-AT) stipulates that from April 1, 2008, all GS mark certification bodies will add PAHs tests, and products that cannot pass the PAHs test will not be able to obtain GS certification and enter Germany smoothly.
PAHs is a general term for a class of aromatic compounds, mainly derived from residues in tar refining, existing in crude oil, creosote, tar, dyes, plastics, rubber, lubricating oils, anti-rust oils, release agents, gasoline anti-coagulants ,
Capacitor electrolyte, mineral oil, asphalt and other petrochemical products also exist in daily chemical products such as pesticides, charcoal, fungicides, mosquito coils, etc. In articles containing rubber parts, especially using recycled tire parts/materials
products may contain high levels of PAHs. PAHs are carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to the reproductive system.
