This European Standard deals with the determination of chemical constituents, electrical conductivity, pH and total dissolved solids (TDS) in eluates which have been obtained by leaching of waste samples for example using EN 12457 “Characterization of waste - Leaching - Compliance test for leaching of granular waste materials and sludges” (Part 1 to Part 4). In principle, it may be used for the analysis of every kind of eluate as long as the performance characteristics of the applied analytical method fulfill the specific requirements.

It is therefore essential to take the necessary precautions to minimize these reactions and in the case of many parameters to analyze the eluate sample with a minimum of delay. The maximum delay is given in
prEN ISO 5667-3 or in the respective analytical standards. Precautions should be taken before and during transport as well as during the time in which the samples are preserved in the laboratory before being analyzed, to avoid alteration of the test portion. Split the eluate in an adequate number of test portions for different chemical analyses and preserve them according to the requirements in the analytical standards or prEN ISO 5667-3. One specific test portion may be an untreated aliquot of the laboratory sample for the analysis of chromates such as chloride, fluoride, sulfate, nitrite and chromium(VI) as well as for the determination of electrical conductivity. For trace metal analysis test portions usually need to be acidified to pH ≤ 2. NOTE 1 For safety reasons it is recommended to acidify the test portion under a hood as volatile toxic substances can be generated. NOTE 2 In cases where high contents of soluble solids are leached, acidification of the eluates can lead to precipitation of salts. This can be avoided by dilution prior to acidification. 5 Blank determination The blank contribution of the applied analytical procedures shall be determined as described in the analytical standards and considered in the calculation of the results when appropriate. SIST EN 16192:2012

If the methods referred to in Table 1 are found to be inappropriate by reason of, for example, detection limits, repeatability or interferences, other methods validated for water analysis e.g. discrete analyzer, can be used. Their suitability for waste eluates shall be checked in the laboratory performing the analysis. The reason for the deviation shall be stated in the test report. Table 1 — Parameters and test methods

Validation of EN 12506:2003 and EN 13370:2003 A.1 General During 1999 - 2001 a project for validation of these standards has been organized and carried out. The validation included an interlaboratory study for evaluation of performance characteristics of methods included in these standards (reproducibility and repeatability). A.2 Interlaboratory study The purpose of the validation trial was to check the suitability of the cited standards for analysis of waste eluates.
A.3 Selection of laboratories A questionnaire has been circulated by all CEN/TC 292/WG 2 and WG 3 members to collect a list of interested European laboratories. 41 laboratories gave their commitment to participate in the interlaboratory trial. All of them were asked to declare that they fulfil the minimum requirements to carry out the analyses according to the standards. According to ISO 5725 series no selection has been made in advance on the basis of the supposed "ability" of laboratories, their accreditation, etc. It is therefore legitimate to regard the participating laboratories as a good average of "normal" European laboratories. A.4 Selection of samples To test the analytical procedures on a proper number of eluates, four different materials were considered to produce bulk amounts of waste eluates: — contaminated soil (COS), — sewage sludge (SEW), — sand blasting waste (SBW), — fly ash filter cake from municipal solid waste incinerator (FFC), Additionally, three synthetic solutions were prepared (SYN1, SYN2 and SYN3). The analytical procedures mentioned in the cited standards require different conservation methods. Since it was impossible to produce waste eluates using all the different conservating agents and methods according to the corresponding standards, it was decided to use only two conservation methods:
— addition of HNO3 to a pH of about 2, — no conservation agents but storage of the eluates at 4°C in the dark. The waste eluates and synthetic solutions stabilized with HNO3 were filled into polyethylene bottles and other samples into glass bottles. Table A.1 shows the different conservation procedures as mentioned in the standards and used in this trial. SIST EN 16192:2012

The parameter/method combinations marked with an x in Table A.1 were successfully validated. A remark is given in Table A.1 for those parameter/method combinations where the validation was not successful, because: — the element concentrations in some samples did not match the working range for the analytical method; — the number of participants and/or the number of results was too low; — matrix dependent interferences occured. In the other cases no validation study was performed. Complementarily some of the standards cited in EN 12506:2003 and EN 13370:2003 have been validated by ISO on waste water. SIST EN 16192:2012
