Scope

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of mercury in aqua regia or nitric acid
digests of sludge, treated biowaste and soil, obtained according to EN ISO 54321 or EN 13173 using cold-
vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CV-AAS). The lower working range limit is at least 0,003 mg/kg (dry
matter basis) depending on digestion parameters.
