Holzschutzmittel - Kreosot (Teerimprägnieröl) und damit imprägniertes Holz - Probenahme und Analyse - Teil 3: Bestimmung des Gehaltes an Benzo(a)pyren im Kreosot; Deutsche Fassung EN 1014-3:2010
Overview
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of benzo[a]pyrene in creosote using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This standard is only applicable to creosotes containing more than 30 mg/kg benzo[a]pyrene. The creosote sample is diluted to an appropriate concentration with an acetonitrile/water mixture. The diluted sample is analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) at constant temperature with a reversed phase packed column and isocratic elution. The result is compared with that from a known reference standard. Compared to DIN EN 1014-3:1997-11, the standard has been editorially revised. The Committee responsible for this standard is NA 042-03-06 AA "Spiegelausschuss zu CEN/TC 38 und ISO/TC 165/SC 1 Dauerhaftigkeit von Holz und Holzprodukten" ("Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 38 and ISO/TC 165/SC 1 Durability of wood and wood-based products") at DIN.
