CEN/TC 327 Animal feeding stuffs - Methods of sampling and analysis
European Norm
65.120 Animal feeding stuffs
This European Standard specifies inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) method for the determination of:
- minerals calcium, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium and the elements iron, zinc, copper, manganese, cobalt, molybdenum in animal feeding stuffs,
- elements arsenic, lead and cadmium in minerals on their own, in pre-mixtures or mixtures for use in animal nutrition.
The method detection limit for each element is dependent on the sample matrix as well as of the instrument. The method is not applicable for determination of low concentrations of elements. The limit of quantification should be 3 mg/kg or lower.
NOTE This method can also be used for the determination of minerals in products with high mineral content (> 5%), yet for this purpose, other more precise analytical techniques are available.
