Characterization of waste - Leaching behaviour test - Up-flow percolation test (under specified conditions); German version EN 14405:2017
Charakterisierung von Abfällen - Untersuchung des Elutionsverhaltens - Perkolationsprüfung im Aufwärtsstrom (unter festgelegten Bedingungen); Deutsche Fassung EN 14405:2017
Overview
This European Standard specifies an up-flow percolation test to determine the leaching behaviour of inorganic and non-volatile organic substances from granular waste materials under standardized percolation conditions. For the complete characterization of the leaching behaviour of waste under specified conditions the application of other test methods is required. The test conditions specified in this European Standard (including flow velocity, particle size proportion and column diameter) differ from those in DIN 19528, Leaching of solid materials - Percolation method for the joint examination of the leaching behaviour of inorganic and organic substances. Germany also considers it necessary to harmonize the test methods of CEN/TC 444 (for waste) and CEN/TC 351 (for construction products).
