This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 7 May 2018 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,

European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 16675:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 444 “Test
methods for environmental characterization of solid matrices”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TS 16675:2014.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,

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.
1 Scope
This document provides methods, which can be used to assess the monolithic character of a
stabilized/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 stabilized/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 stabilized/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 stabilized/solidified waste materials.
This document 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.

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.
