You would like to carry out a halogen analysis in polymers in accordance with standard EN 50642

What does standard EN 50642 say ?

EN 50642 is a European standard for the management of used materials containing hazardous substances, particularly in the field of electrical and electronic equipment (products made of polymer materials for wiring systems). It focuses in particular on the treatment of materials containing hazardous substances such as halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine). These chemical elements, often present in polymers, can have a significant impact on the environment and human health. polymers in wiring systems). It focuses particularly on the treatment of materials containing hazardous substances such as halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine). These chemical elements, often present in polymers, can have significant impacts on the environment and human health.

Why carry out analyses to EN 50642 ?

Halogen analysis in polymers in accordance with EN 50642 aims to :

To protect the environment by properly managing dangerous substances in order to minimize their environmental impact. EN 50642-compliant analyses enable these substances to be detected and processed safely, helping to preserve our ecosystem.
Protect people in contact with these polymers. Hazardous substances present in electrical and electronic equipment can pose serious health risks to those handling them. By carrying out analyses in accordance with EN 50642, companies can identify these risks and put in place the necessary protective measures to ensure the safety of their employees.
Ensure regulatory compliance. Compliance with EN 50642 guidelines is essential for compliance with European regulations. Analyses of halogens in polymers in accordance with EN 50642 also make it possible to anticipate and meet legal requirements in terms of waste management.
