    EN 16128:2015 – New Test Method for Nickel Release for


    Spectacle Frames and Sunglasses
    European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) approved an updated version of EN 16128: 2015
    ‘Ophthalmic optics – Reference method for the testing of spectacle frames and sunglasses for
    nickel release’. This new version was published in November 2015. This European Standard shall
    be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the
    latest by May 2016, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2018. A
    comparison for the key changes between EN 16128:2015 and EN 16128:2011 is shown below.
    Comparison between EN 16128:2015 and EN 16128:2011
    EN 16128:2015 EN 16128:2011
    Title Ophthalmic optics. Reference method for the Reference test method for release of nickel
    testing of spectacle frames and sunglasses from those parts of spectacle frames and
    for nickel release sunglasses intended to come into close and
    prolonged contact with the skin
    Scope Parts of metal spectacle frames and those Parts of spectacle frames and sunglasses
    metal parts of combination spectacle frames, intended to come into direct and prolonged
    ready-to-wear spectacles, sunglasses and contact with the skin
    other items for eye and face protection that
    are intended to come into direct and
    prolonged contact with the skin of the wearer
    Principle Test part with organic coating The parts to be tested for nickel release are
     Coating test is based on Electrochemical placed in an artificial sweat test solution for 1
    Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) to week. The concentration of dissolved nickel in
    ensure the organic coating is of sufficient the solution is determined by appropriate
    quality to prevent the release of nickel analytical method.
    from the test part which does not exceed
    the regulatory limit.
     Non-compliant test parts may be subject
    to the migration test.
    Test part without organic coating or metal
    plating and made of homogeneous alloys or
    metals do not require the simulation of wear
    and corrosion according to EN 12472
     Migration test - Nickel release form a
    part to be tested are placed on a test
    paper with artificial sweat test solution
    for 1 week. The concentration of nickel
    released into the test paper is extracted
    by nitric acid and determined by
    appropriate analytical method.
    Sweat  Sodium hydroxide solution  Ammonium solution
    solution  Sodium chloride  Sodium chloride
     Lactic acid  Lactic acid
     Urea  Urea
    Result EIS test: Impedance 3.0 x 105 Ω•cm2 is Multiply the result by 0.1 to obtain an adjusted
    interpretation deemed compliant analytical figure and compare with the nickel
    Migration test : < 0.76 µg/cm2/week is release limit 0,5 μg/cm2/week under EU
    deemed compliant (include measurement REACH Annex XVII
    uncertainty)
