(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Sampling Protocol for TCLP Testing of Container Glassware
Standard Test Method for Sampling Protocol for TCLP Testing of Container Glassware
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 Sampling of decorated glass containers for the TCLP can vary greatly, resulting from the size and shape of the article relative to the amount of ceramic decoration on the ware. Breaking the glass can cause some of the pieces to have no decoration on them, and others to be heavily decorated and more likely to leach lead and cadmium under the TCLP test. This method provides an effective tool to homogenize the glass containers so that reproducible results can be attained from the TCLP test.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method defines the way in which container glassware should be prepared before performing the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). The method covers the homogenization of the sample, and the selection of a representative portion of the sample to test and get reproducible results.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

6. Reagents and Materials
6.1 Glassware to be tested, in two sets of 10 units each.
7. Hazards
7.1 When working with glassware, always be aware and careful of the potential of getting cut by the glass. Personal protective
equipment, such as a face shield or goggles, leather gloves, and a protective apron should be worn when working with glass.
Take precautions when working with the samples and apparatus to avoid the possibilities of getting hurt.
8. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units
8.1 Since the amount of lead and cadmium that leaches from a decoration can be affected by the relative size of the decoration,
it is important to start with two sets of 10 units each.
9. Procedure
9.1 To minimize the variation of sampling, this testing shall be done in duplicate, and therefore, take two sets of 10 units of the
glassware to be tested.
9.2 Pre-break the glass prior to milling, using the following procedure:
9.2.1 Place the first set of glassware into the 2 L bucket, along with one or two clean 35 to 40 mm diameter alumina grinding
balls.
9.2.2 After tightly sealing the lid, shake the vessel hard enough to smash the glass to create pieces that can be fed into the roll
or disc mill.
9.3 Clean both the mill and riffle box, prior to use.
9.4 Feed the pre-broken glass into the disc mill or roll mill as feedstock.
9.4.1 Grind the glass as two separate lots, with the selected mill apertures set between 2.5 mm and 3.5 mm. These aperature
settings tend to produce crushed glass with a maximum particle size of 5 mm.
9.5 Any oversized material must be removed by sieving or hand picking, and be br
