CEN/TC 264/WG 10 - Determination of the total emission of specific elements
A three part method for standard for the determination of emission concentration of specific metals and metalloids (ie, Lead, Copper, Cobalt, Chromium, Cadmium, Thallium, Vanadium, Manganese, Antimony, Arsenic and nickel, but excluding Tin), to satisfy the HWID. The uncertainty of the method is to be determined using 4 different measuring institutes and 2 different waste incinerators.

General Information
This European Standard specifies a manual reference method for the determination of the mass concentration of specific elements in exhaust gases from hazardous waste incinerators. The method is applicable to each of the specific elements in the concentration range of 0,005 mg/m3 to 0,5 mg/m3. Unless otherwise stated, gas volumes are expressed at dry conditions, normalised to 273 K and oxygen content 101,3 kPa, and normalized to a dry oxygen content of 11 % on the volume/volume basis.
Specific elements according to this European standard are antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), thallium (Tl), and vanadium (V).
This European standard is validated for the determination of the mass concentration of specific ele-ments in incineration exhaust gases with the composition given in Table 1.
This European standard is also applicable for exhaust gases from other sources with a similar flue gas composition.
