CEN/TC 306/WG 3 - Sampling and analysis

This European Standard specifies the methods of sampling of lead and lead alloysfor the purpose of chemical analysis or for the purpose of spectrometric analysis by Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES), with spark excitation.

This European Prestandard specifies methods using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP-ES) for the determination of elements at low content in lead for the ranges given in Table 1.
Higher contents than those listed in Table 1 should be determined according to ENV 13800.
These methods are intended as the definitive methods in case of dispute for the determination of elements at low content in lead. They are also recommended for the analysis of Certified Reference Materials (CRM) and Reference Materials (RM) which are used in analysis according to ENV 12908.
