X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF) has been used for several decades as an important analytical tool for production analysis. XRF is characterised by its speed and high precision over a wide concentration range and since the technique in most cases is used as an relative method the limitations are often connected to the quality of the calibration samples. The technique is well established and most of its physical properties are well known.

This standard is directed at the investigation of the mechanical and tensile properties of free
coating films. It is similar to ISO 5273 and ISO 37 for the testing of plastic and rubber materials
but with particular focus on test sample preparation from free coating films. Typical parameters
for the mechanical behaviour are the modulus of elasticity, the tensile strength and the
elongation at break/elongation at rupture during stretching of a free coating film with constant
speed.

This Technical Specification specifies a method for assessing the resistance of a coating system on wet wood to separation from the substrate by measuring the force necessary to detach or rupture the coating system by a normal tensile strain applied through an attached stud (dolly). Additional information is gained by noting the type and locus of failure. The force required for detachment will depend on several factors including the adhesion of the coating to the substrate and between intermediate coating layers. The procedure is not regarded as a direct means of measuring adhesion but an indicator of adhesive performance (adherence) under wet conditions.
A procedure for wetting the wood substrate is described. The test method is only suitable for wood and wood based substrates.
For dry adhesion the test method is allowed to be carried out without wetting in which case it will differ very little from EN ISO 4624.

This aim of this standard is to provide a process for the determination of mercury in cosmetics by means of cold vapour atomic adsorption (AAS) after pressure digestion.
The procedure was validated in 2015 by means of a multi laboratory study in combination with cold vapour AAS determination process for mercury with eight laboratories participating. Overall, seven samples representing different matrices (lipstick, tattoo colourant, body lotion, toothpaste, eyeshadow and water make-up) with varying mercury contents between 0,110 mg/kg and 5,84 mg/kg were analysed.

This European Standard specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for the microbicidal activity of a chemical product when its intended to disinfect contaminated textiles in domestic laundry and prevent the transmission of microorganisms into the wash water and other textiles. This includes the intention of increasing the hygiene of domestic laundry and/or avoiding aesthetical problems (e.g. bad odour, spoilage). This method is able to measure the contribution of the biocidal product to the microbial reduction in contaminated cloths and washing liquor. The method described is a phase 2, step 2 laboratory test that simulates the conditions of application of the product and it is intended to determine the microbicidal activity of a product (PT2- textile disinfection, domestic use). This method is not limited to certain types of textiles as it considers a realistic worst-case (Cotton carrier and Polycotton ballast load) This method is not limited to certain ballast load capacities as it considered a realistic worst-case according to market studies (liquor ratio 1:5) This method is not limited to certain types of product use instructions (alone, as a combined product or alone but in combination with other laundry products such as detergents) This method is not limited to certain washing steps in which the product is used (pre-wash, main wash or rinsing) as the initial microbial load is a realistic worst case to cover all situations and soiling conditions are adapted according practical conditions of use This method considers the endpoint to be the end of the washing step where the product is intended to act. This method is not suitable for laundry disinfection technologies which require specific devices (e.g. active substances generated in situ through electrolysis). This method is not intended to be applied to laundry disinfection in the medical area (refer to EN 16616 for that application) All these other areas of application will be uncovered as this method in not intended to be applied: other applications where disinfecting textile is necessary (e.g. food processing, hotels, workwear e.g. from the pharmaceutical industry, laboratories, foodstuff areas or similar institutions).

This document describes a method of test for wood preservatives that are intended for use in wood to be exposed to the weather out of contact with the ground without the additional protection of a surface coating.
The method is applicable to the testing of commercial or experimental preservatives applied by techniques appropriate to commercial practice. The method is applicable to chemical products used individually or in combination to prevent the development of decay and/or - optional - the development of disfiguring organisms in wood and, where suitable, in wood-based products.
NOTE 1   The method can also be used to test other treated wood species and naturally durable timbers. It can be adapted for testing the field performance of other wood based systems and treatments designed to enhance durability, for example treated or untreated wood based composites, timber treated with non-biocidal systems, chemically modified or heat treated timber.
NOTE 2   Altough the test is used to assess decay, it is possible to use the method to additionally assess stain or each separately when relevant.

The limit of detection depends on the determinants, the equipment used, the quality of chemicals used for the extraction of the sample and the clean-up of the extract
Under the conditions specified in this European Standard, lower limit of application from 10 μg/kg (expressed as dry matter) for soils, sludge and biowaste to 100 μg/kg (expressed as dry matter) for solid waste can be achieved. For some specific samples (e.g. bitumen) the limit of 100 μg/kg cannot be reached.
Sludge, waste and treated biowaste may differ in properties as well as in the expected contamination levels of PAH and presence of interfering substances. These differences make it impossible to describe one general procedure. This European Standard contains decision tables based on the properties of the sample and the extraction and clean-up procedure to be used.
The method may be applied to the analysis of other PAH not specified in the scope, provided suitability is proven by proper in-house validation experiments.
