Foreword
This Technical Report (CEN/TR 15310-2:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee
CEN/TC 292 “Characterization of waste”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This Technical Report has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
This Technical Report is one of a series of five, dealing with sampling techniques and procedures,
which provide essential information for the application of the EN-standard:
EN 14899, Characterisation of waste - Sampling of waste materials - Framework for the preparation
and application of a Sampling Plan.
The principal component of the EN Standard is the mandatory requirement to prepare a Sampling
Plan. This EN 14899 standard can be used to:
 produce standardised sampling plans for use in regular or routine circumstances (i.e. the
elaboration of daughter/derived standards dedicated to well defined sampling scenarios);
 incorporate specific sampling requirements into national legislation;
 design and develop a Sampling Plan on a case by case basis.
The Technical Reports display a range of potential approaches and tools to enable the project
manager to tailor his sampling plan to a specific testing scenario (i.e. a ‘shop shelf’ approach to
sampling plan development for waste testing). This approach allows flexibility in the selection of the
sampling approach, sampling point, method of sampling and equipment used.
This Technical Report describes a range of techniques that could be used to sample a range of waste
types from a variety of locations and arisings. Information is also provided on the selection and
preparation of equipment and apparatus needed to complete the sampling exercise.
This report does not attempt to provide a definitive procedure for each and every situation that may
arise from sampling a given waste type or specific analytical requirement, rather it aims to expose the
factors that influence the selection of these practical field activities to ensure the most appropriate
procedure is selected for any given sampling scenario. The most appropriate approach, tools, and
methodology, in the absence of an existing recognised Sampling Plan should be chosen on a
scenario-specific basis. However, this does not present a barrier to technical innovation, and there is
no reason why methodologies other than those detailed in this Technical Report cannot be substituted.
Introduction
Wastes are materials, which the holder discards, or intends or is required to discard, and which may
be sent for final disposal, reuse or recovery. Such materials are generally heterogeneous and it will be
necessary therefore to specify in the testing programme the amount of material for which the
characteristics of interest need to be defined. The testing of wastes allows informed decisions to be
made on how they should be treated (or not), recovered or disposed. In order to undertake valid tests,
some sampling of the waste is required.
The principal component of the standard EN 14899 is the mandatory requirement to prepare a
Sampling Plan, within the framework of an overall testing programme as illustrated in Figure 1 of EN
14899:2005. This standard can be used to:
 produce standardised sampling plans for use in regular or routine circumstances (i.e. the
elaboration of daughter/derived standards dedicated to well defined sampling scenarios);
 incorporate specific sampling requirements into national legislation;
 design and develop a Sampling Plan on a case by case basis.
The development of a Sampling Plan within this framework involves the progression through three
steps or activities.
1) Define the Sampling Plan
2) Take a field sample in accordance with the Sampling Plan
3) Transport the laboratory sample to the laboratory
This Technical Report provides information to support Key Step 2 of the Sampling Plan process map
and describes a selection of sampling techniques that can be used in the recovery of a sample for a
wide variety of waste types and arisings. The sampling technique is the physical procedure employed
by the sampler to collect part or parts of a discarded or secondary material for subsequent
investigations. Specifically this Technical Report provides information to support 4.2.8.1 (Identify the
sampling technique) of the Framework Standard.
This Technical Report should be read in conjunction with the Framework Standard for the preparation
and application of a Sampling Plan as well as the other Technical Reports that contain essential
information to support the Framework Standard. The full series comprises:
 EN 14899, Characterization of waste - Sampling of waste materials - Framework for the
preparation and application of a Sampling Plan;
 CEN/TR 15310-1, Characterization of waste – Sampling of waste materials – Part 1: Guidance on
selection and application of criteria for sampling under various conditions;
 CEN/TR 15310-2, Characterization of waste – Sampling of waste materials – Part 2: Guidance on
sampling techniques;
 CEN/TR 15310-3, Characterization of waste – Sampling of waste materials – Part 3: Guidance on
procedures for sub-sampling in the field;
 CEN/TR 15310-4, Characterization of waste – Sampling of waste materials – Part 4: Guidance on
procedures for sample packaging, storage, preservation, transport and delivery;
 CEN/TR 15310-5, Characterization of waste – Sampling of waste materials – Part 5: Guidance on
the process of defining the Sampling Plan.
The Technical Reports contain procedural options (as detailed in Figure 2 of EN 14899:2005) that can
be selected to match the sampling requirements of any testing programme.
