COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2009/56/EC

of 12 June 2009

correcting Directive 2008/126/EC amending Directive 2006/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down technical requirements for inland waterway vessels, as regards its date of transposition

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Directive 2006/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 laying down technical requirements for inland waterway vessels and repealing Council Directive 82/714/EEC (1), and in particular Article 20(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) According to Article 2 of Commission Directive 2008/126/EC of 19 December 2008 amending Directive 2006/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down technical requirements for inland waterway vessels (2), Member States are to transpose Directive 2008/126/EC with effect from 30 December 2008.

(2) For technical reasons, Directive 2008/126/EC was not published in the Official Journal of the European Union before that date. Directive 2008/126/EC should therefore be corrected as regards its date of transposition.

(3) In order to avoid distortions of competition as well as different levels of safety, the amendments to Directive 2006/87/EC should be implemented as quickly as possible. Following the publication of Directive 2008/126/EC on 31 January 2009, a reasonable deadline must however be given for the transposition of that Directive.

(4) The measure provided for in this Directive is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 7 of Council Directive 91/672/EEC of 16 December 1991 on the reciprocal recognition of national boatmasters′ certificates for the carriage of goods and passengers by inland waterway (3),

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

In the first paragraph of Article 2 of Directive 2008/126/EC, ‘30 December 2008’ is replaced by ‘30 June 2009’.

Article 2

This Directive is addressed to the Member States which have inland waterways as referred to in Article 1(1) of Directive 2006/87/EC.

method No 16 is inserted after method No 15: ‘METHOD No 16 MELAMINE AND CERTAIN OTHER FIBRES (Method using hot formic acid) 1. FIELD OF APPLICATION This method is applicable, after removal of non-fibrous matter, to binary mixtures of: 1. melamine (48) with 2. cotton (5) and aramid (31). 2. PRINCIPLE The melamine is dissolved out from a known dry mass of the mixture with hot formic acid (90 % by mass). The residue is collected, washed, dried and weighed; its mass, corrected if necessary, is expressed as a percentage of the dry mass of the mixture. The percentage of the second constituents is obtained by difference. Note: Keep strictly the recommended temperature range because the solubility of melamine is very much dependent on temperature. 3. APPARATUS AND REAGENTS (other than those specified in the general instructions) 3.1. Apparatus (i) Glass-stoppered conical flask of at least 200 ml capacity. (ii) Shaking water bath or other apparatus to shake and maintain the flask at 90 ± 2 °C. 3.2. Reagents (i) Formic acid (90 % m/m, relative density at 20 °C: 1,204 g/ml). Dilute 890 ml of 98 to 100 % m/m formic acid (relative density at 20 °C: 1,220 g/ml) to 1 liter with water. Hot formic acid is very corrosive and must be handled with care. (ii) Ammonia, dilute solution: dilute 80 ml of concentrated ammonia solution (relative density at 20 °C: 0,880) to 1 litre with water. 4. TEST PROCEDURE Follow the procedure described in the general instructions, then proceed as follows: To the specimen contained in the glass-stoppered conical flask of at least 200 ml capacity, add 100 ml of formic acid per gram of specimen. Insert the stopper and shake the flask to wet out the specimen. Maintain the flask in a shaking water bath at 90 ± 2 °C for 1 hour, shaking it vigorously. Cool the flask to room temperature. Decant the liquid through the weighed filter crucible. Add 50 ml of formic acid to the flask containing the residue, shake manually and filter the contents of the flask through the filter crucible. Transfer any residual fibres to the crucible by washing out the flask with a little more formic acid reagent. Drain the crucible with suction and wash the residue with formic acid reagent, hot water, dilute ammonia solution, and finally cold water, draining the crucible with suction after each addition. Do not apply suction until each washing liquor has drained under gravity. Finally, drain the crucible with suction, dry the crucible and residue, and cool and weigh them. Note: Temperature has a very strong influence on solubility properties of melamine and should be carefully controlled. 5. CALCULATION AND EXPRESSION OF RESULTS Calculate the results as described in the general instructions. The value of “d” for cotton and aramid is 1,02. 6. PRECISION On a homogeneous mixture of textile materials, the confidence limits of results obtained by this method are not greater than ± 2 for a confidence level of 95 %.’
