Summary list of titles and references harmonised standards under Regulation 1907/2006 for REACH Regulation

The summary list hereunder is a compilation of the references of harmonised standards which have been generated by the HAS (Harmonised standards) database. This IT application HAS automates the process of the publication of the references of harmonised standards in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Although the list is updated regularly, it may not be complete and it does not have any legal validity; only publication in the Official Journal gives legal affect.

(Publication of titles and references of harmonised standards under entry 27 of Annex XVII of REACH)

ESO (1)	Reference and title of the harmonised standard (and reference document)	Reference of superseded standard
CEN	EN 1811:2011 Reference test method for release of nickel from all post assemblies which are inserted into pierced parts of the human body and articles intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin	EN 1811:1998+A1:2008
The new standard EN 1811:2011 has a narrower scope than the superseded standard. On 31.03.2013, the (partially) superseded standard ceases to apply with regards to the test methods for demonstrating compliance with the conditions of the restriction for the products that fall within the scope of the new standard.
CEN	EN 12472:2005+A1:2009 Method for the simulation of wear and corrosion for the detection of nickel release from coated items	EN 12472:2005
CEN	EN 16128:2011 Reference test method for release of nickel from those parts of spectacle frames and sunglasses intended to come into close and prolonged contact with the skin	EN 1811:1998+A1:2008
The new standard EN 16128:2011 takes over from the superseded standard the same test methods for demonstrating conformity with the conditions of the restriction under entry 27 in Annex XVII of REACH until a new standard for spectacle frames and sunglasses will be developed.
