M/137 - Amd.
Amendment to mandates M/102, M/103, M/105, M/106, M/108, M/110, M/112, M/113, M/116, M/119, M/120, M/122, M/124, M/126, M/127, M/128, M/129, M/131, M/132 and M/133, issued in the context of the construction products directive (89/106/EEC)
Mandate M/137 concerns amendments to multiple existing mandates (M/102, M/103, M/105, M/106, M/108, M/110, M/112, M/113, M/116, M/119, M/120, M/122, M/124, M/126, M/127, M/128, M/129, M/131, M/132, and M/133) issued under the framework of the Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC). This mandate addresses updates or modifications to the scope or content of these previous mandates related to standardisation activities within the construction products sector, ensuring coherence and alignment with evolving regulatory requirements. The decision was formalized by the CEN Management Board, reflecting the EU’s ongoing efforts to support harmonised European standards for construction products.
Purpose
This mandate (M/137) pertains to the amendment of previously issued mandates under the framework of the Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC). Its purpose is to revise or update a series of existing standardisation mandates numbered M/102, M/103, M/105, M/106, M/108, M/110, M/112, M/113, M/116, M/119, M/120, M/122, M/124, M/126, M/127, M/128, M/129, M/131, M/132, and M/133. These relate to the standardisation activities supporting harmonised technical specifications for construction products within the European Union.
Standardisation request
The mandate requests the relevant European Standardisation Organisations (ESOs), primarily CEN and CENELEC, to update and amend their current work programmes and deliverables as set out in the listed mandates. These amendments are intended to ensure that the standardisation efforts continue to effectively support the regulatory requirements specified in the Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC), adapting to technical, regulatory, or market developments as necessary.
Expected deliverables
Specific deliverables will involve updated European Standards (ENs), technical specifications, or harmonised documents aligned with the amended mandates. These deliverables are expected to facilitate compliance with the directive by establishing common technical criteria and methods of assessment for construction products marketed within the EU. The mandate’s resolution (CEN/BT C96/2001) provides the formal decision on approval or disapproval of these amendments, guiding the ESOs in implementing changes.
Context
The Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC) aimed to harmonise technical standards across EU Member States to enable free movement of construction products while ensuring safety, performance, and quality. Over time, evolving market needs, regulatory updates, and technological advancements necessitate revisions to existing standardisation mandates. Mandate M/137 reflects this ongoing process of ensuring that standards remain relevant and effective in supporting the directive’s objectives. This amendment helps keep the EU’s construction product standardisation framework consistent, up-to-date, and aligned with broader EU policies.
This mandate amendment relates to the standardisation tasks under the Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC), covering various construction products. It involves updating previous mandates to ensure harmonised standards for the design, manufacturing, marketing, and use of construction products within the European Union. The scope includes products used in building and civil engineering works to ensure safety, performance, and regulatory compliance.
General Information
This document specifies a procedure to determine the migration of substances from ion exchange, adsorbent or hybrid resin materials for use in contact with water intended for human consumption.
Resins comprise synthetic organic macromolecular materials.
This standard is applicable to resins of the following types:
- ion exchange resins: used to modify the composition of water (e.g. softening by removal of calcium ions). They can be in either an anionic or cationic state;
- adsorbent resins: used to lower the concentration of undesirable substances (usually organic pollutants) from water. They are used in a neutral state;
- hybrid adsorbers: Organic polymer based ion exchange resin or adsorbent resin with incorporated inorganic (e.g. iron hydroxide) or second organic phase. Used to lower the concentration of undesirable substances (specific inorganic or organic pollutants) from water. They can be in either an anionic, cationic or neutral state.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/137 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Amendment to mandates M/102, M/103, M/105, M/106, M/108, M/110, M/112, M/113, M/116, M/119, M/120, M/122, M/124, M/126, M/127, M/128, M/129, M/131, M/132 and M/133, issued in the context of the construction products directive (89/106/EEC)". Amendment to mandates M/102, M/103, M/105, M/106, M/108, M/110, M/112, M/113, M/116, M/119, M/120, M/122, M/124, M/126, M/127, M/128, M/129, M/131, M/132 and M/133, issued in the context of the construction products directive (89/106/EEC) There are 2 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
