Soil quality - Screening soils for selected elements by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry using a handheld or portable instrument (ISO 13196:2013)

ISO 13196:2013 specifies the procedure for screening soils and soil-like materials for selected elements when handheld or portable energy-dispersive XRF spectrometers are used. This quick method is assumed to be applied on-site to obtain qualitative or semiquantitative data that assists decisions on further sampling strategy for assessing soil quality. The higher the efforts for pretreatment used on soil samples, the better the analytical results can be expected.
ISO 13196:2013 does not explicitly specify elements for which it is applicable, since the applicability depends on the performance of the apparatus and the objective of the screening. The elements which can be determined are limited by the performance of the instruments used, the concentration of the element present in the soil, and the requirements of the investigation (e.g. guideline value).
For Hg, Cd, Co, Mo, V and Sb, a majority of instruments are not sensitive enough to reach sufficiently low limits of quantification (LOQ) to meet the requirements (limit or threshold values) set in the ordinances of different countries. In this case, other methods need to be employed to measure these low concentrations. Usually, wet chemical methods are used, based on aqua regia extracts, in combination with optical or mass spectrometric (MS) methods like atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), inductively coupled plasma/optical emission spectrometry (ICP/OES) or ICP/MS.

Bodenbeschaffenheit - Screening ausgewählter Elemente in Böden mit handhaltbaren oder tragbaren Röntgenfluoreszenzspektrometern (ISO 13196:2013)

Diese Internationale Norm legt das Screening-Verfahren für Böden und bodenähnliche Materialien für ausge-wählte Elemente fest, wenn handhaltbare oder tragbare energiedispersive RFA-Spektrometer angewendet werden. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass dieses Schnellverfahren vor Ort angewendet wird, um qualitative oder semiquantitative Daten zu erhalten, die die Entscheidungen in Bezug auf die weitere Probenahme¬strategie zur Bestimmung der Bodenbeschaffenheit unterstützen. Je höher die Aufwendungen für die Vorbehandlung der Bodenproben sind, desto bessere analytische Ergebnisse können erwartet werden (siehe z. B. Verweisung [4]).
Diese Internationale Norm legt ausdrücklich keine bestimmten Elemente fest, für die sie gilt, da die Anwendbarkeit von der Leistungsfähigkeit des Gerätes und vom Ziel des Screenings abhängt. Die Elemente, die bestimmt werden können, sind begrenzt durch die Leistungsfähigkeit der angewendeten Messgeräte, die Konzentration der im Boden vorhandenen Elemente und durch die Anforderungen der Untersuchung (z. B. Richtwert).
Die Mehrzahl der Messgeräte ist gegenüber Hg, Cd, Co, Mo, V und Sb nicht empfindlich genug, um aus¬reichend niedrige Bestimmungsgrenzen (LOQ) zu erreichen, um die in den Verordnungen der verschiedenen Länder festgelegten Anforderungen (Grenz- oder Schwellenwerte) zu erfüllen. In diesem Fall müssen zur Messung dieser geringen Konzentrationen andere Verfahren eingesetzt werden. Üblicherweise werden nasschemische Verfahren, die auf Königswasserextrakten beruhen, in Kombination mit optischen oder massenspektroskopischen (MS) Verfahren, wie Atomabsorptions-Spektrometrie (AAS), optische Emissions-spektrometrie mit induktiv gekoppeltem Plasma (ICP-OES) oder ICP-MS angewendet.

Qualité du sol - Analyse rapide d'une sélection d'éléments dans les sols à l'aide d'un spectromètre de fluorescence X à dispersion d'énergie portable ou portatif (ISO 13196:2013)

L'ISO 13196:2013 spécifie la procédure d'analyse rapide d'une sélection d'éléments dans les sols et matériaux similaires lorsque l'on utilise des spectromètres XRF à dispersion d'énergie portables ou portatifs. Cette méthode rapide est supposée être appliquée sur site pour obtenir des données qualitatives ou semi-quantitatives qui aident notamment à décider de la stratégie d'échantillonnage plus poussée pour évaluer la qualité du sol. Plus les efforts de traitement préalable des échantillons de sol sont importants plus on peut s'attendre à des résultats d'analyse de qualité.
L'ISO 13196:2013 ne spécifie pas de façon explicite les éléments pour lesquels elle est applicable dans la mesure où ses possibilités d'application dépendent des performances de l'appareil, des caractéristiques du sol et des objectifs du diagnostic. Les éléments qui peuvent être déterminés sont limités par la performance des instruments utilisés, la concentration de l'élément présent dans le sol, et les exigences de l'investigation (par exemple la valeur de référence).
Pour Hg, Cd, Co, Mo, V et Sb, la majorité des instruments n'est pas assez sensible pour atteindre des limites de quantification assez basses (LOQ) pour satisfaire les exigences (valeurs limites ou seuils) mises en place par décret dans différents pays. Dans ce cas, d'autres méthodes doivent être utilisées pour mesurer ces basses concentrations. En règle générale, des méthodes chimiques par voie humide sont utilisées, fondées sur des extraits d'eau régale, en combinaison avec des méthodes de spectrométrie de masse ou optiques telles que AAS, ICP-OES ou ICP-MS.

Kakovost tal - Presejalna analiza tal za izbrane elemente z energijsko-disperzijsko rentgensko fluorescenčno spektrometrijo z uporabo ročnega ali prenosnega instrumenta (ISO 13196:2013)

Ta mednarodni standard določa postopek za presejalno analizo tal ali materialov, ki so podobni tlom, za izbrane elemente z energijsko-disperzijsko rentgensko fluorescenčno spektrometrijo z uporabo ročnega ali prenosnega instrumenta. Ta hitra metoda naj bi se uporabljala na kraju samem za pridobivanje kvalitativnih ali polkvantitativnih podatkov, ki pomagajo pri izbiri nadaljnje strategije vzorčenja za ocenjevanje kakovosti tal. Večja kot so prizadevanja za predhodno obdelavo vzorcev tal, boljši bodo analitski rezultati (glej na primer Reference [4]). Ta mednarodni standard ne določa izrecno elementov, za katere se uporablja, ker je njegova veljavnost odvisna od zmogljivosti naprave in cilja presejanja. Elementi, ki jih je mogoče določiti, so omejeni glede na zmogljivost uporabljenih instrumentov, koncentracijo elementa v tleh in zahteve za preiskavo (npr. referenčna vrednost). Za Hg, Cd, Co, Mo, V in Sb večina instrumentov ni dovolj občutljivih, da bi se dosegle dovolj nizke meje kvantifikacije (LOQ) za izpolnitev zahtev (mejnih vrednosti), določenih v uredbah različnih držav. V tem primeru je treba uporabiti druge metode za merjenje teh nizkih koncentracij. Običajno se uporabijo mokre kemijske metode, ki temeljijo na izvlečkih zlatotopke v kombinaciji z metodami optične ali masne spektometrije (MS), kot je atomska absorpcijska spektrometrija (AAS), optična emisijska spektrometrija z induktivno sklopljeno plazmo (ICP–OES) ali ICP–MS.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 13196:2013(E)
Introduction
X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) is a quick method for determination of total elemental
compositions of soil samples. Unlike analyses by atomic absorption spectroscopy and inductively coupled
plasma spectroscopy, XRF needs no digestion step to prepare a test solution to be analysed. Factory pre-
set calibrations can be used. Consequently XRF is suitable for the rapid on-site determination of selected
elements, mainly heavy metals in screening processes. Typical elements that can be analysed are Cr, As,
Se, Cd, Hg and Pb, depending on the instrument. For in situ or abbreviated preparation analyses at a site,
a battery-powered handheld or portable XRF equipment is required.
When performing analyses at a site, it might be important to have information on the presence of an element
and also obtain semiquantitative results. It is often impracticable to carry out calibration using reference
materials at the site to be investigated. In these situations, factory pre-set calibrations should be used.
This International Standard describes rapid methods for the on-site analysis of selected elements,
including heavy metals, using battery-powered handheld or portable energy-dispersive XRF (ED–XRF).
