What is BS EN 50642 - Test method for content of halogens about?
BS EN 50642 specifies a method for the determination of the content of halogens in Cable Management System (CMS) components or products made of polymeric material(s). The determination is made by combustion and subsequent analysis of the combustion product by Ion Chromatography.
BS EN 50642 is for environmental performance only.
