The PU Foam Information Centre translated the FEICA Press Release on the FEICA OCF Test Methods approved as CEN standards into German: Erste europäische Norm für 1-K-PU-Schäume in Kraft getreten. They sent it out on 31 March 2020.
Press Release: FEICA one-component foam (OCF) Test Methods approved as CEN standards
A series of FEICA’s one-component foam (OCF) test methods has been approved as CEN standards. One-component foam (OCF) manufacturers, representing more than 90% of the market in Europe have developed, within FEICA (the Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry), standardised test methods which allow the performance of OCF products to be measured, compared and communicated in an accurate manner, allowing customers to buy with confidence.
FEICA’s OCF Technical Working Group has developed a new range of standard test methods that deliver realistic, reproducible results for One-Component Foam (OCF) products.
FEICA’s OCF TWG has identified two spray foam can (SFC) manufacturers that supply products to the European market without providing the necessary labelling safety information for use by both consumers and professionals. Their safety requirements are based on misleading testing procedures and incorrect interpretation of results, which could have an impact on the OCF industry as these SFC cans are very similar in packaging format to the OCF technology.
Following the re-classification and thus re-labelling of medium-chained chlorinated paraffins (MCCP) according to the ‘Adaption to Technical Progress (ATP)’ of CLP Regulation, FEICA's OCF Technical Working Group has published a Fact Sheet on the classification and labelling of one-component moisture curing polyurethane foams containing MCCP.
