European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 17195:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 351
“Construction products: Assessment of release of dangerous substances”, 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 has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
A similar standard has been developed for eluates from different types of waste, see Annex A.
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, Switzerland,
Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
Following an extended evaluation of available methods for content analysis in construction products
(CEN/TR 16045, [1]) it was concluded that eluate analysis methods are very similar to analytical
methods used to determine content after digestion of a solid matrix.
This document has been adopted from the work carried out in the context of CEN/TC 292 and is very
similar to EN 16192 Characterization of waste – Analysis of waste eluates [2].
This Technical Specification is part of a modular horizontal approach which was adopted in
CEN/TC 351. 'Horizontal' means that the methods can be used for a wide range of materials and
products with certain properties. 'Modular' means that a test standard developed in this approach
concerns a specific step in assessing a property and not the whole chain of measurement (from
sampling to analyses). Beneficial features of this approach are that modules can be replaced by better
ones without jeopardizing the standard chain and duplication of work of in different Technical
Committees for Products can be avoided as far as possible.
The modules that relate to the standards developed in CEN/TC 351 are specified in CEN/TR 16220 [3],
which distinguishes between the modules. This Technical Specification belongs to the analytical step.
The use of modular horizontal standards implies the drawing of test schemes as well. Before executing a
test on a certain construction product to determine certain characteristics it is necessary to draw up a
protocol in which the adequate modules are selected and together form the basis for the entire test
procedure.

5 Sample pre-treatment
The eluate shall be analysed for the total content of the elements and anions of interest. If precipitation
occurs between the preparation of the eluate and the analysis it is necessary to ensure by appropriate
methods (e.g. redissolution, separate analysis of solution and precipitate) that the total content of the
substances of interest is determined. If the eluate results from a procedure including 0,45 µm
membrane filtration, analytical results refer to the content obtained from the leaching process.
Eluates are susceptible to be changed to different extents as a result of physical, chemical or biological
reactions which may take place between the time of leaching and the analysis. pH shall be determined
as soon as possible after preparation of the eluates and prior to sample pretreatment. In case of
collection of eluates over periods of days, the time between completing eluate collection and pH
measurement shall not exceed 18 hrs (overnight).
NOTE As noted in CEN/TS 16637-2 [9] and CEN/TS 16637-3 [10] measures can be taken to avoid eluate
deterioration by carbonation through CO uptake in alkaline eluates.
Split the eluate (the laboratory sample) into an adequate number of test samples for different chemical
analyses. Take the necessary precautions and make preservations according to the requirements in the
analytical standards (EN ISO 5667-3).
One specific test sample may be an untreated aliquot of the laboratory sample for the analysis of anions
such as chloride, bromide, fluoride and sulfate, as well as for the determination of electrical
conductivity.
For safety reasons it is recommended to acidify the test portion under a hood as volatile toxic
substances can be generated.
6 Selection of suitable analytical test method
6.1 Table of test methods
Select the appropriate standardized test method listed in Table 1 according to the type of eluate, the
concentration range of the substances of interest, regulatory requirements, the expected interferences
and the precision needed.
For analytical quality control purposes ISO/TS 13530 and EN ISO/IEC 17025 shall be considered.
6.2 General validation information
A selection of the test methods listed in Table 1 will be validated by CEN/TC 351 in an interlaboratory
trial for a limited number of construction product matrices. Their suitability for other construction
product eluates shall be checked in the laboratory performing the analysis.
It is pointed out that the standardized test methods listed in Table 1 have primarily been developed for
the analysis of water samples. Most of them were validated by CEN/TC 292 in an interlaboratory trial
for a limited number of eluates from various matrices. The validation data on these other matrices
obtained in the evaluation of the analytical performance of laboratories are given in Annex A and B.
Those analytical methods cited in Table 1 that have not been validated in the CEN/TC 292
interlaboratory trial in 1999-2001, have the matrix waste water and/or leachates included in their
scope, and they proved to be applicable for the analysis of eluates in routine analyses.
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 may be used. Their
suitability for construction product eluates shall be checked in the laboratory performing the analysis.
The reason for the deviation shall be stated in the test report.
The values for MDL as listed in Table 1 are indicative values in the sense that they are not to be used as
sole guideline to select between methods to be applied. An actual MDL will depend on the equipment,
matrix properties, interferences, and laboratory experience. If based on better precision for the listed
methods another MDL is chosen than the MDL that would result from applying the tabulated values, this
shall be mentioned in the test report.
