What is BS EN 15002 - Test portions from the laboratory sample about?
BS EN 15002 is an international standard used for the characterization of waste that specifies the requirements and procedures for preparing the test portion from laboratory samples.
By using BS EN 15002 you can ensure the safety and quality of analytical results of laboratory samples.
BS EN 15002 is applicable for the preparation of representative test portions from the laboratory sample that has been taken according to the sampling plan (EN 14899), prior to physical and/or chemical analysis (e.g. preparation of eluates, extractions, digestion, and/or analytical determinations) of solid (including monolithic material) and liquid samples and sludge. BS EN 15002 is also applicable for the preparation of test portions from digests and eluates for the subsequent analyses.
BS EN 15002 is intended to find the correct sequence of operations and treatments to be applied to the laboratory sample in order to obtain suitable test portions in compliance with
Who is BS EN 15002 - Test portions from the laboratory sample for?
BS EN 15002 on Test portions from the laboratory sample is useful for:
- Environment protection authority
- Pollution control board
- Local government
- Scientific laboratories
- Chemical industries
Why should you use BS EN 15002 - Test portions from the laboratory sample?
Waste characterization helps in planning to reduce waste, set up recycling programs, and conserve money and resources.
BS EN 15002 specifies requirements and test procedures for preparing the test portion from the laboratory sample. The interference and source of error are useful in avoiding loss of air and contamination of the sample. With the help of BS EN 15002, you can ensure that an appropriate sequence of operations is performed.
By applying BS EN 15002 you can guarantee the quality and accuracy of analytical results of laboratory sample that helps in determining the characteristic of wastes and sludges. This also helps in ensuring safety from hazardous substances that are situated in the waste and sludges.
