Foodstuffs - Determination of trace elements - Determination of mercury by cold-vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CVAAS) after pressure digestion
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of mercury in foodstuffs by cold-vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CVAAS) after pressure digestion.
Specific foodstuffs for which European Standards exist are excluded from the scope of this horizontal European Standard. It is the task of the analyst to review if vertical standards exist.
Lebensmittel - Bestimmung von Elementspuren - Bestimmung von Quecksilber mit Atomabsorptionsspektrometrie (AAS)-Kaltdampftechnik nach Druckaufschluss
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Quecksilber in Lebensmitteln mit der AAS-Kalt-dampftechnik nach Druckaufschluss fest.
Lebensmittel, für die es spezielle Europäische Normen gibt, sind vom Anwendungsbereich dieser horizontalen Europäischen Norm ausgenommen. Es obliegt dem Analytiker, das Vorhandensein vertikaler Normen zu prüfen.
Produits alimentaires - Dosage des éléments-traces - Dosage du mercure par spectrométrie d'absorption atomique par génération de vapeurs froides apres digestion sous pression
La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de dosage du mercure présent dans les produits alimentaires par spectrométrie d'absorption atomique par génération de vapeurs froides apres digestion sous pression.
Les produits alimentaires qui ont déja été traités spécifiquement dans le cadre de Normes européennes ne font pas partie du domaine d'application de la présente norme horizontale. C'est a l'analyste de vérifier s'il existe des normes verticales applicables.

EN 13806:2002 (E)3ForewordThis European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 275 "Food analysis - Horizontalmethods", the secretariat of which is held by DIN.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by February 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latestby February 2003.Annex A is informative.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following coun-tries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Swe-den, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies a method for the determination of mercury in foodstuffs by cold-vapour atomicabsorption spectrometry (CVAAS) after pressure digestion.Specific foodstuffs for which European Standards exist are excluded from the scope of this horizontal EuropeanStandard. It is the task of the analyst to review if vertical standards exist.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies (including amendments).EN 13804, Foodstuffs — Determination of trace elements — Performance criteria, general considerations andsample preparation.EN 13805, Foodstuffs — Determination of trace elements — Pressure digestion.3 PrincipleDetermination of mercury in the test solution by cold-vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CVAAS) after pressuredigestion according to EN 13805.The test solution is transferred to the reaction vessel of the mercury analysis unit, and the mercury is reduced withdivalent tin or sodium borohydride and flushed into the cuvette of the AAS instrument using a carrier gas stream.The absorption at 253,7 nm (mercury line) is used as a measure of the mercury concentration in the cuvette. If theamounts of mercury in the test solution are very small, it is advisable to enrich the mercury expelled on agold/platinum gauze (amalgam technique) prior to determination in the cuvette.SIST EN 13806:2002
EN 13806:2002 (E)4WARNING — The use of this standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. Thisstandard does not purport to address all the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.4 Reagents4.1 GeneralThe concentration of the trace elements in the reagents and water used shall be low enough not to affect the re-sults of the determination.4.2 Hydrochloric acid, not less than 30 % (mass fraction), of approximately
(HCl) = 1,15 g/ml.4.3 Nitric acid, not less than 65 % (mass fraction), of approximately
(HNO3) = 1,4 g/ml.4.4 Diluted nitric acid.Mix nitric acid (4.3) and water in a proportion of 1 + 9 parts by volume as a minimum.4.5 Reducing agent4.5.1 GeneralTin(II) chloride or sodium borohydride may be used as the reducing agent, but it is not advisable to use the tworeagents alternately. Observe the instructions of the manufacturers of the apparatus.4.5.2 Tin(II) chloride solution with a concentration of 100 g/l.Dissolve 50 g of tin(II) chloride, SnCl2 · 2H2O in approximately 100 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.2) in a 500 ml volu-metric flask and dilute to the mark with water. Prepare a fresh solution.4.5.3 Sodium borohydride solution with a concentration of 30 g/l.Dissolve 3 g of sodium borohydride together with 1 g of sodium hydroxide pellets in water and dilute to 100 ml.Prepare a fresh solution daily and, when necessary, filter it before use.The concentration by mass of the reducing agent solutions may be varied to suit the system and the relevant infor-mation provided by the manufacturer of the apparatus shall be observed.WARNING — It is essential to observe the safety instructions for working with sodium borohydride. So-dium borohydride forms hydrogen with acids and this can result in an explosive air/hydrogen mixture. Apermanent extraction system shall be provided at the point where measurements are carried out.4.6 Potassium permanganate solution with a concentration of 40 g/l.Dissolve 0,4 g of potassium permanganate solution in water and dilute to 10 ml.
