M/422 REV1 - Metals and iodine in foo

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead in foodstuffs by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The collaborative study included foodstuffs having an arsenic mass fraction ranging from 0,06 mg/kg to 21,5 mg/kg dry matter (d. m.), cadmium ranging from 0,03 mg/kg to 28,3 mg/kg d. m., mercury ranging from 0,04 mg/kg to 0,56 mg/kg d. m. and lead from 0,01 mg/kg to 2,4 mg/kg d. m.

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of tin in foodstuffs by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) after pressurized digestion. The collaborative study included foodstuffs having a mass fraction of tin ranging from 2,5 mg/kg to 259 mg/kg.

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of tin in foodstuffs and canned foods by flame and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) after pressurized digestion. The collaborative study included foodstuffs having mass fractions of tin ranging from 43 mg/kg to 260 mg/kg (Flame-AAS) and from 2,5 mg/kg to 269 mg/kg (Graphite Furnace AAS).

This European Standard specifies an extraction method for the determination of iodine compounds in foodstuffs by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
