It is applicable to paper and board with extractable mercury content exceeding 0,06 mg per kg.
NOTE 1 The above limit of determination is 5 times below than the actual limit existing today or proposed in Europe.
NOTE 2 Mercury content levels below 0,06 mg per kg can be measured by this European Standard if very sensitive equipment is available and if all other laboratory conditions fulfil the requirements for trace element analysis.
