Waste - Test methods for the determination of the monolithic status of waste to be landfilled

This Technical Specification provides methods, which can be used to assess the monolithic character of a stabilised/solidified waste, with respect to landfilling. Information on the monolithic character is required to enable the choice of appropriate leaching tests for determination of the release of different substances from stabilised/solidified waste under specified (landfilling) conditions.
This document includes several physical and/or chemical test methods each addressing different aspects of monolithic character. The selection of methods required for an assessment of the monolithic character of a stabilised/solidified waste may vary, depending on the scenario to be addressed or it can be specified in regulation.
Rather than describing the procedures and methods in detail this document refers to existing standards and provides some guidance on their use on stabilised/solidified waste materials.
This Technical Specification does not address issues related to health and safety.
The following procedures and methods are included in this document:
-   test to determine unconfined compressive strength;
-   test to determine permeability;
-   test to determine the loss of mass by dissolution;
-   test to determine expansion;
-   test to determine the content of organic matter;
-   test to determine freeze/thaw effects.

Introduction
Landfilling of some types of waste requires stabilization/solidification to reduce the impact and/or
comply with regulatory requirements. The characterization of waste is an essential step for the
assessment of a potential final destination, especially in case of landfilling and associated potential
hazards. Based on its properties, a stabilized/solidified waste material may be allocated to a landfill for
granular waste or a landfill for monolithic waste. Information on certain physical properties of a given
stabilized/solidified waste material is required to determine if it can be classified as a monolithic
material and to select appropriate leaching test method(s) and landfilling options for that waste. This
technical specification describes test methods applicable to assessment of these physical properties.
WARNING – Anyone dealing with waste and sludge analysis should be aware of the typical risks
of that kind of material irrespective of the parameter to be determined. Waste and sludge
samples may contain hazardous (e.g. toxic, reactive, flammable, infectious) substances, which
can be liable to biological and/or chemical reaction. Consequently these samples should be
handled with special care. Gases which may be produced by microbiological or chemical activity
are potentially flammable and will pressurize sealed bottles. Bursting bottles are likely to result
in hazardous shrapnel, dust and/or aerosol. National regulations should be followed with
respect to all hazards associated with the methods in this technical specification.

Note 1 to entry: When the laboratory sample is further prepared (reduced) by subdividing, mixing, grinding or
by combinations of these operations, the result is the test sample. When no preparation of the laboratory sample
is required, the laboratory sample is the test sample. A test portion is removed from the test sample for the
performance of the test or for analysis. The laboratory sample is the final sample from the point of view of sample
collection but it is the initial sample from the point of view of the laboratory.
Note 2 to entry: Several laboratory samples could be prepared and sent to different laboratories or to the same
laboratory for different purposes. When sent to the same laboratory, the set is generally considered as a single
laboratory sample and is documented as a single sample.
