Futtermittel - Bestimmung von Arsen mit Atomabsorptionsspektrometrie-Hydridtechnik (HD-AAS) nach Mikrowellen-Druckaufschluss (Aufschluss mit 65 % Salpetersäure und 30 % Wasserstoffperoxid); Deutsche Fassung EN 16206:2012
Overview
DIN EN 16206 specifies a method for the determination of total arsenic in animal feeding stuffs by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS) after microwave pressure digestion. The limit of quantification is 0,5 µg/l of the test solution. Using a test portion of 0,5 g, a volume of the test solution of 25 ml and an aliquot of 5 ml for pre-reduction the limit of quantification is 0,125 mg/kg in the feed material. The European Standard has been prepared by CEN/TC 327 "Animal feeding stuffs - Methods of sampling and analysis", the secretariat of which is held by NEN (Netherlands). The collaboration of DIN for the field of responsibility of CEN/TC 327 is performed through the national Mirror Committee, Working Committee NA 057-03-03 AA "Futtermittel" ("Animal feeding stuffs") of NAL.
