DIN EN 16424:2012-07

This Draft European Standard is dedicated to field portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) equipment (hand-held or portable bench top) and describes a screening method for the determination of the elemental composition of waste materials for on-site verification. Portable XRF spectrometers are used for a rapid and exploratory analysis of liquid, paste-like or solid materials. The absence or presence of specific elements is displayed qualitatively in terms of negatives and positives with an indication of the concentration level. This Draft has to be seen in relation to CEN/TR 16130 and it is an exemplification of prEN 16123.
