NOTE À des fins de clarté, le terme « pétrole » est utilisé tout au long du présent document. Il peut se rapporter au pétrole brut, à un produit pétrolier ou à un mélange des deux.
Prepoznavanje razlitij olj - Nafta in sorodni naftni proizvodi - 1. del: Vzorčenje
Standard EN 15522-1 vsebuje smernice za prevzem in rokovanje z vzorci, ki se jih zbira v sklopu preiskave možnega vira razlitja surove nafte ali naftnega proizvoda v morsko ali vodno okolje. Podane so smernice za odvzem vzorcev tako iz razlitja kot iz potencialnega izvora razlitja.
Vzorčenje olja je predvsem del pravnih postopkov in ga je treba obravnavati kot vse ostale postopke ohranjanja dokazov (pravno vzorčenje). Če se bo vzorce uporabilo v zvezi s pravnimi postopki, je priporočljivo ta dokument brati skupaj z vsemi drugimi dokumenti, ki jih izdajo regulativni organi v državi ali državah, kjer je do razlitja prišlo.
Pri odvzemu vzorcev so lahko prisotni nevarni materiali, postopki in oprema.
Ta dokument ni namenjen obravnavi vseh varnostnih in zdravstvenih vidikov, ki se navezujejo na podane smernice. Za oblikovanje in vzpostavitev ustreznih varnostnih in zdravstvenih praks ter za določitev uporabnosti regulativnih omejitev pred uporabo je odgovoren uporabnik.
Opomba: Večina držav ima posebej usposobljene skupine za odvzem vzorcev na krovu ladij. Uslužbenci policije ali organov pregona ne prevzemajo nepotrebnih tveganj in po potrebi prosijo za pomoč zadevno skupino.
Zaradi jasnosti se v celotnem dokumentu uporablja beseda »olje«. Beseda se nanaša na surovo nafto, naftni proizvod ali njuno mešanico.

European foreword
This document (EN 15522-1:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 19 “Gaseous and
liquid fuels, lubricants and related products of petroleum, synthetic and biological origin”, the secretariat
of which is held by NEN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2023, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by September 2023.
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 supersedes CEN/TR 15522-1:2006.
In comparison with the previous edition CEN/TR 15522-1:2006, the following technical modifications
have been made:
— added another design for a helicopter sampling device as well as some less recommended devices;
— removed ship designs, because this is only relevant for skilled sample takers that should know where
to sample on a ship.
EN 15522 is composed of two parts that describe the following:
— Part 1 on sampling, describing good sampling practice, detailing sampling equipment, sampling
techniques and the handling of oil samples prior to their arrival at the forensic laboratory;
— Part 2 giving the analytical method, which covers the general concepts and laboratory procedures of
oil spill identification, analytical techniques, data processing, data treatment,
interpretation/evaluation and reporting of results.
A list of all parts in the EN 15522 series can be found on the CEN website.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
