Requirements breached

The transparent plastic window contains cadmium (measured value 1.13% by weight). Cadmium is harmful to human health, because it accumulates in the body and can damage organs and may also cause cancer. Furthermore, it contains also short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 0,49 % by weight). The placing on the market and use of articles containing SCCPs is banned. SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bioaccumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to the environment.
