Handling contaminations are in many cases more important than airborne ones.The limit of detection will be higher in cases where the determination is likely to be interfered (see Clause 6) or in case of memory effects (see e.g. EN ISO 17294 1:2006).The method in this document is applicable to construction products and validated for the product types listed in Annex A.
