The materials and the components that contain the dangerous substances, but it is the way the materials or components are used in construction products and intended conditions of use of construction products that will determine if and at what extent are dangerous substances released. The need to take account of health and safety throughout the life cycle of the construction product when assessing its performance.

The release of dangerous substances from construction products is limited to these main environmental compartments:

The biocidal products directive 98/8/EC has been abolished 1. 9. 2013 by the new Regulation No. 528/2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (BPR). This Regulation shall apply to biocidal products and treated articles. A list of the types of biocidal products covered by this Regulation and their descriptions is set out in Annex V.

The purpose of this Regulation is to improve the functioning of the internal market through the harmonisation of the rules on the making available on the market and the use of biocidal products, whilst ensuring a high level of protection of both human and animal health and the environment. Biocidal products should neither be made available on the market nor used unless authorised in accordance with this Regulation. Treated articles should not be placed on the market unless all active substances contained in the biocidal products with which they were treated or which they incorporate are approved in accordance with this Regulation.

For the internal market and for the consumer establishes harmonised rules for parallel trade in identical biocidal products authorised in different Member States. The evaluation process of all currently available substances for wood preservation has to be done according to the BPR, companies have to apply for the approval of an active substance by submitting a dossier to ECHA. Only biocidal products approved under annex I of the biocides regulation are allowed. Use of such products is regulated strongly already at national and especially EU level.

The Act No. 73/2012 Coll., on substances that deplete the ozone layer and on fluorinated greenhouse gases. The main objective of this act is to ensure the effective protection of the Earth’s ozone layer and climate system against the harmful effects of controlled substances and fluorinated greenhouse gases. The act adapts Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 on substances that deplete the ozone layer and Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases, including the implementation regulations for these two regulations. The act o. 73/2012 Coll. lays down the following obligations: destruction of prohibited controlled substances within three months by a certified person; installation of leakage detection systems by operators of equipment containing 300 kg or more of controlled substances and their annual inspection; obligation of keeping a record book for equipment containing 3 kg or more of controlled substances; labelling of controlled substances and products containing controlled substances during their production, import, export and transportation, and keeping accompanying documentation; indication of the name and designation of controlled substances and their combined nomenclature code in customs declarations; submission of reports on fluorinated greenhouse gases; submission of delivery notes or customs documentation for inspection. The act further lays down a charge for the production and import of controlled substances and products containing such substances.

Its implementing regulation is:

The Decree No. 257/2012 Coll., on the Prevention of Emissions of Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and Fluorinated Greenhouse gases. This decree lays down a template for equipment record books, templates for the submission of reports, procedures for the activities referred to in Section 10(1) and (2) of the Act No. 73/2012 Coll. except for procedures for checks for leakage in refrigeration or air-conditioning equipment or fire protection systems containing fluorinated greenhouse gases, and the scope of knowledge required for the recovery, reclamation or destruction of substances that deplete the ozone layer.

8 Czech regulation aimed to construction products coming into direct contact with water and intended for human consumption

The Act No. 258/2000 Coll., on protection of public health and amendment to some related Acts (as amended) in section 5 paragraph 2 states:

„The producer or importer of a product coming into direct contact with water shall be obliged, prior to placement thereof on the market, to ensure, with respect to a holder of a certificate of accreditation 4a) or holder of authorization (Section 83c) pursuant to this Act and, in relation to construction products, with respect to a person authorized pursuant to the special regulation,4a) verification, in a manner stipulated in an implementing regulation, that there is no undesirable effect on drinking or hot water; the producer or importer shall be obliged to have a record of the verification. The manner of evaluating this verification and the manner and scope of keeping records of verifications shall be stipulated in an implementing regulation.“

It follows from the foregoing that an authorized body provides assessment of construction products according to act No. 22/1997 Coll. and verification must be provided according to an extraction test in compliance with Decree No. 409/2005 Coll., on the Hygiene Requirements for Products coming into Direct Contact with Water and for Water Treatment (as amended)

Products intended for contact with water shall meet the limits of extraction tests pursuant to decree No. 409/2005 Coll..

An extraction test carried out under the conditions and according to the procedure laid down in Annex 1 shall reveal a proportion of water pollution caused by a product coming into direct contact with the water, which is intended for permanent contact with drinking water, reaches a maximum of 10 % of the hygiene limit for the relevant parameter or indicator for drinking water laid down by special legislation (Decree No. 252/2004 Coll.), except for the TOC and CHSK-Mn indicators, where the proportion shall reach a maximum of 20 % for TOC and maximum of 30 % for CHSK-Mn of the hygiene limit, and the aluminium indicator for products based on cement, where the proportion shall not exceed the hygiene limit.

The proportion of water pollution determined by an extraction test carried out under the conditions and according to the procedures laid down in Annex 1 and caused by

c) a product coming into direct contact with water intended for short-term contact with drinking water,

d) a product coming into direct contact with water, the surface of which in contact with drinking water does not exceed 100 cm² or the ratio of its surface to the surface of all other products (materials) in a water reservoir or water distribution network is less than 1:1000, or less than 1:100 for internal main.

The Decree No. 252/2004 Coll. laying down Hygiene Requirements for Drinking and Hot Water and the Ffrequency and Extent of Drinking Water Checks (as amended) contains different types of limits or limits in selected indicators for drinking water. Extracts shall be used to determine the presence and concentration of components which are characteristic as natural ingredients or possible impurities for the test product and present a risk with regard to protecting the health of the population.

For the manufacture of plastics and products made from plastics for contact with water, use shall only be made of the monomers and other initial substances and additives included in the list of monomers and other initial substances in special legislation (that is Decree No. 38/2001 Coll., on Hygiene Requirements for Products Intended for Contact with Foodstuffs and Foods, as amended), and only up to the limit quantities laid down by that legislation.
