16、16660:2015 CEN/TS 16660:2015 (E) 3 Foreword This document (CEN/TS 16660:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 292 “Characterization of waste”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
17、of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been developed primarily to support the requirements for leaching behaviour testing within EU and EFTA countries. This document was elaborated on the basis of NEN 7348:
18、2006. To determine the various aspects of the leaching behaviour (the leaching characteristics) of solid earthy and stony building and waste materials a series of steps should be followed, in particular sampling, sample pretreatment, characterization tests, digestion and chemical analysis of the sol
19、id substance or the eluates. An umbrella standard (EN 16457) is developed that gives general instructions. In here the relationship is given between all the standards in each step, each with a specific scope. To determine the leaching characteristics, the general instructions or the specific standar
20、ds to which reference is made shall be followed with good consistency. This Technical Specification describes a test that can be used to determine whether or not the material to be tested possesses reducing properties. If this is the case, a next test is used to quantify the reducing capacity of thi
21、s material or its eluates. Based on the results of this Technical Specification, it can be established whether leaching under practical conditions can differ (considerably) from leaching under standard aerobic laboratory conditions and whether there is justification for testing leaching under low-ox
22、ygen conditions (see Annex A, 16). The standards that characterize the various aspects of the leaching behaviour are produced and published in phases. This means that upon the publication of this Technical Specification, reference is not yet made in all relevant standards. For the missing aspects, u
23、sers of this Technical Specification will have to make their own choice of the methods to be used. Annex A gives information on the validation and materials used. Annex B gives a further explanatory note on the reducing capacity. In addition to specifications provided in EN 15002, Annex C gives furt
24、her guidance on sampling, sample pretreatment and sample storage. For more information, the standards and other publications included in the bibliography that have been published in this respect can be used. The numbered clauses are normative with the exception of the passages marked with the headin

27、Introduction This document specifies a set of three tests to assess if a material has reducing properties and subsequently to determine the reducing capacity of that material and the reducing capacity of an eluate produced at low liquid to solid ratio. For a proper performance special attention is g
28、iven to minimize contact with the atmosphere before and during testing. For the complete characterization of the leaching behaviour of waste under specified conditions the application of other test methods is required (see EN 12920). Anyone dealing with waste and sludge analysis should be aware of t
29、he typical risks of that kind of material irrespective of the parameter to be determined. Waste and sludge samples can contain hazardous (e.g. toxic, reactive, flammable, infectious) substances, which can be liable to biological and/or chemical reaction. Consequently these samples should be handled
30、with special care. Gases which can be produced by microbiological or chemical activity are potentially flammable and will pressurize sealed bottles. Bursting bottles are likely to result in hazardous shrapnel, dust and/or aerosol. National regulations should be followed with respect to all hazards a
31、ssociated with this method. In the different European countries, tests have been developed to characterize and assess the constituents which can be leached from waste materials. The release of soluble constituents upon contact with water is regarded as one of the main mechanism of release which resu
32、lts in a potential risk to the environment during life-cycle of waste materials (disposal or re-use scenario). The intent of these tests is to identify the leaching properties of waste materials. The complexity of the leaching process makes simplifications necessary. Not all of the relevant aspects
33、of leaching behaviour can be addressed in one single standard. This Technical Specification addresses reducing properties of materials and the consequences to the test or test conditions to be applied in performing leaching tests. Procedures to characterize the behaviour of waste materials can gener
34、ally be divided into three steps, using different tests in relation to the objective. The following test hierarchy is taken from the Landfill Directive 1)and the Decision on Annex II of this Directive 2)for disposal of waste. a) Basic characterization constitutes a full characterization of the waste
35、 by gathering all the necessary information for a safe management of the waste in the short and long term. Basic characterization may provide information on the waste (type and origin, composition, consistency, leachability, etc.), information for understanding the behaviour of waste in the consider
36、ed management scenario, comparison of waste properties against limit values, and detection of key variables (critical parameters as liquid/solid (L/S) ratios, leachant composition, factors controlling leachability such as pH, redox potential, complexing capacity and physical parameters) for complian
37、ce testing and options for simplification of compliance testing. Characterization may deliver ratios between test results from basic characterization and results from simplified test procedures as well as information on a suitable frequency for compliance testing. In addition to the leaching behavio
38、ur, the composition of the waste should be known or determined by testing. The tests used for basic characterization should always include those to be used for compliance testing. b) Compliance testing is used to demonstrate that the sample of today fits the population of samples tested before by ba
39、sic characterization and through that, is used to carry out compliance with regulatory limit values. The compliance test should therefore always be part of the basic characterization program. The compliance test focuses on key variables and leaching behaviour identified by basic characterization tes
40、ts. Parts of basic characterization tests can also be used for compliance purposes. 1) Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste. 2) Council Decision 2003/33/EC of 19 December 2002. PD CEN/TS 16660:2015 CEN/TS 16660:2015 (E) 5 c) On-site verification tests are used as a
41、rapid check to confirm that the waste is the same as that which has been subjected to characterization or compliance tests. On-site verification tests are not necessarily leaching tests. The test procedure described in this document is a basic characterization test and falls in category a). PD CEN/T
42、S 16660:2015 CEN/TS 16660:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This Technical Specification specifies three laboratory tests to determine the reducing character and the reducing capacity of construction products, waste materials and the eluate resulting from exposure of these solids to a leachant. Reducing species re
43、leased from the product are titrated to quantify the reducing capacity. For a specification of the materials with which experience has been acquired with the execution of the tests according to this Technical Specification see Annex A and 16. NOTE Materials with reducing properties can in practice u
44、nder both oxidizing and anoxic (isolated) conditions show completely different leaching behaviour than obtained with the leaching tests specified in EN 16457. This may seriously hamper the interpretation of the leaching tests, if this condition is not taken into consideration. 2 Normative references

When no preparation of the laboratory sample is required, the laboratory sample is the test sample. A test portion is removed from the test

The laboratory sample is the final sample from the point of view of sampling but it is the initial sample from the point of view of the laboratory.

When sent to the same laboratory, the set is generally considered as a single laboratory sample and is documented as a single sample.
