A recommended sampling method is given in EN 1482-1.

29、 Sample preparation shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482-2. 8 Procedure 8.1 Preparation of the test solution Weigh approximately 5 g of the sample (m) into a 100 ml volumetric flask to the nearest 0,1 mg, add approximately 70 ml of water, dissolve in the ultrasonic bath (6.2) and make up

30、to the mark with water. Filtrate this solution straight into a vial through a syringe filter (6.3) to remove any conditioning agents. This solution is used for the determination. NOTE If paraffin is used as conditioning agent, see 8.2. 8.2 Preparation of the test solution in the presence of paraffin

31、s as conditioning agents Weigh approximately 5 g of the sample (m) into a 100 ml measuring flask to the nearest 0,1 mg, add approximately 70 ml of water, dissolve in the ultrasonic bath (6.2) and fill up to the mark with water. Add 2 ml of n-hexane (5.4) to this solution, shake thoroughly and fill t
