Components and materials used in the construction comply with the criteria set out in Appendix C to this Annex. Components and materials used in the construction that may come into contact with occupiers(144) emit less than 0,06 mg of formaldehyde per m3 of test chamber air upon testing in accordance with the conditions specified in Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and less than 0,001 mg of other categories 1A and 1B carcinogenic volatile organic compounds per m3 of test chamber air, upon testing in accordance with CEN/EN 16516(145) or ISO 16000-3:2011(146) or other equivalent standardised test conditions and determination methods(147). Where the new construction is located on a potentially contaminated site (brownfield site), the site has been subject to an investigation for potential contaminants, for example by using standard ISO 18400. Measures are taken to reduce noise, vibrations, dust and pollutant emissions during construction or maintenance works. Where appropriate, given the sensitivity of the area affected, in particular in terms of the size of population and fauna affected, noise and vibrations from construction, use and maintenance of infrastructure are mitigated by acoustical planning introducing open trenches, wall barriers or other appropriate measures in compliance with Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(148). |
