Introduction
Following an extended evaluation of available methods for content analysis in construction products
(CEN/TR 16045) it was concluded that eluate analysis methods are very similar to analytical methods
used to determine content after digestion of a solid matrix.
This document has been adopted from the work carried out in the context of CEN/TC 292 and is very
similar to EN 16192.
This document is part of a modular horizontal approach which was adopted in CEN/TC 351. “Horizontal”
means that the methods can be used for a wide range of materials and products with certain properties.
“Modular” means that a test standard developed in this approach concerns a specific step in assessing a
property and not the whole chain of measurement (from sampling to analyses). Beneficial features of this
approach are that modules can be replaced by better ones without jeopardizing the standard chain and
duplication of work of in different Technical Committees for Products can be avoided as far as possible.
The modules that relate to the standards developed in CEN/TC 351 are specified in CEN/TR 16220, which
distinguishes between the modules. This document belongs to the analytical step.
The use of modular horizontal standards implies the drawing of test schemes as well. Before executing a
test on a certain construction product to determine certain characteristics, it is necessary to draw up a
protocol in which the adequate modules are selected and together form the basis for the entire test
procedure.

5 Sample pre-treatment
The eluate shall be analysed for the total content of the elements and anions of interest. If precipitation
occurs between the preparation of the eluate and the analysis it is necessary to ensure by appropriate
methods (e.g. redissolution, separate analysis of solution and precipitate) that the total content of the
substances of interest is determined. If the eluate results from a procedure including 0,45 µm membrane
filtration, analytical results refer to the content obtained from the leaching process.
Eluates are susceptible to be changed to different extents as a result of physical, chemical or biological
reactions which can take place between the time of leaching and the analysis. pH shall be determined as
soon as possible after preparation of the eluates and prior to sample pre-treatment. In case of collection
of eluates over periods of days, the time between completing eluate collection and pH measurement shall
not exceed 18 h (overnight).
NOTE As noted in EN 16637-2 and EN 16637-3 measures can be taken to avoid eluate deterioration by
carbonation through CO uptake in alkaline eluates.
Split the eluate (the laboratory sample) into an adequate number of test samples for different chemical
analyses. Take the necessary precautions and make preservations according to the requirements in
EN ISO 5667-3.
One specific test sample may be an untreated aliquot of the laboratory sample for the analysis of anions
such as chloride, bromide, fluoride and sulphate, as well as for the determination of electrical
conductivity.
For safety reasons it is recommended to acidify the test portion under a hood as volatile toxic substances
can be generated.
6 Selection of suitable analytical test method
6.1 Table of test methods
Select the appropriate standardized test method listed in Table 1 according to the type of eluate, the
concentration range of the substances of interest, regulatory requirements, the expected interferences
and the precision needed.
For analytical quality control purposes ISO/TS 13530 and EN ISO/IEC 17025 should be considered.
6.2 General validation information
A selection of the test methods listed in Table 1 are validated by CEN/TC 351 through robustness
validation ([Vanhoof et al., 2016], [ALS Global, 2017]) and in an interlaboratory trial for a limited number
of construction product matrices [García-Ruiz et al., 2020]. Their suitability for other construction
product eluates shall be checked in the laboratory performing the analysis. The premise of selecting
widely varying products implies that it is expected that eluates generated with other products can be
analysed with the listed test procedures.
It is pointed out that the standardized test methods listed in Table 1 have primarily been developed for
the analysis of water samples. Most of them were validated by CEN/TC 292 in an interlaboratory trial for
a limited number of eluates from various matrices (EN 12506, EN 13370). The validation data on these
other matrices obtained in the evaluation of the analytical performance of laboratories are given in
EN 16192 and in EN ISO 11885, EN ISO 17294-2, [Sloot et.al., 2001], [Vanhoof et al., 2005], [VITO, 2014a]
and [VITO, 2014b].
Those analytical methods cited in Table 1 that have not been validated in the CEN/TC 292 interlaboratory
trial in 1999-2001, have the matrix waste water and/or leachates included in their scope, and they proved
to be applicable for the analysis of eluates in routine analyses.
If the methods referred to in Table 1 are found to be inappropriate by reason of, for example, detection
limits, repeatability or interferences, other methods validated for water analysis may be used. Their
suitability for construction product eluates shall be checked in the laboratory performing the analysis.
The reason for the deviation shall be stated in the test report.
The values for MDL as listed in Table 1 are indicative values in the sense that they are not to be used as
sole guideline to select between methods to be applied. An actual MDL will depend on the equipment,
matrix properties, interferences, and laboratory experience. If based on better precision for the listed
methods another MDL is chosen than the MDL that would result from applying the tabulated values, this
shall be mentioned in the test report.
