DIN EN 15308:2016-12

This document specifies a method for quantitative determination of seven polychlorinated biphenyl congeners(PC-28, PCB-52, PCB-101, PCB-118, PCB-138, PCB-153 and PCB-180) in solid waste using high-resolutiongas chromatography with electron capture or mass spectrometric detection. The basic content of this standard isidentical to that of the Horizontal PCB-standard (EN 16167) and is therefore also applicable to soil, sludge andtreated bio-waste. The detection and the quantification limits in this method are dependent on sample intake, thelevel of interferences as well as instrumental limitations. Under the conditions specified in this standard,minimum concentrations of individual PCB congeners equal or above 0,01 mg/kg dry matter can typically bedetermined with no interferences present.
