This document stipulates a method that evaluates inactivation/removal effectiveness against airborne microorganisms in air cleaning devices, such as air filters set up in a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system in commercial, institutional and office buildings, also air-purifying systems, or air sterilizers in these buildings. The airborne microorganism inactivation/removal effectiveness is based on an evaluation of the ability of the duct-mounted air-filtering devices to capture or inactivate bacteria, moulds or viruses with common particle sizes. By measuring the inactivation/removal effectiveness, the quality level of the product can be assessed. This method includes detailed requirements for the test rig, which simulates the nominal air flow rate of the devices. The method also covers data acquisition, analysis, and reporting of results.

This document refers to methods to be used for the determination of specific parameters in soil improvers and growing media, but does not contain the methods themselves. The specific parameters in this document include: — the cadmium content; — the lead content; — the nickel content; — the chromium (VI) content; — the mercury content; — the inorganic arsenic content; — the phosphonates content; — the total chromium content; — the bioavailable nickel content. This document is applicable to the fertilizing product blends where a blend is a mix of two or more fertilising products belonging to the categories of fertilizers, liming material, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors and plant biostimulants, and where soil improvers and/or growing media are the components with the highest percentage in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of products in liquid form by dry mass.

This document describes a method for determining the slip/skid resistance of a surface using a device which remains stationary at the test location. The slip/skid resistance is measured by means of a slider mounted at the end of a pendulum arm. The method provides a measure of the slip/skid resistance properties of a wetted surface either in the field or in the laboratory. This method measures the slip/skid resistance of a small area of a surface (approximately 0,01 m2). It is important to consider this when deciding its applicability to a surface which might have nonhomogeneous surface characteristics, e.g. containing ridges or grooves, or is rough textured (exceeding 1,5 mm mean texture depth).

 

This document specifies a method for the qualitative detection of fish DNA in food, of both animal and plant origin, using real-time PCR based on the Hoxc13 gene, in the context of allergen analyses.

The method was previously validated in an interlaboratory study (ring trial). The limit of detection of the fish real-time PCR has been determined experimentally to be at least 50 mg fish fresh weight/kg.

This document specifies a method for the qualitative detection of DNA of the general wheat and rye in cooked sausages using real-time PCR based on the glutenin gene, in the context of allergen analyses. This document does not apply to differentiating between wheat (Triticum L.) and rye (Secale cereale). The method was previously validated in an interlaboratory study (ring trial). The limit of detection of the wheat and rye real-time PCR has been determined experimentally to be around 80 mg wheat or rye per kg for the matrix ‘cooked sausage’. For autoclaved material the detection limit can increase significantly.

 

This document specifies a method for the qualitative detection of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) DNA in food using real-time PCR and targeting a multicopy mitochondrial sequence, in the context of allergen analyses.

The limit of detection of the peanut real-time PCR has been determined experimentally to be at least 0,5 mg peanut/kg.

 

This document specifies a method for the qualitative detection of the species-specific DNA of peanut (Arachis hypogaea), hazelnut (Corylus spp.), walnut (Juglans regia) and cashew (Anacardium occidentale) in food of animal and plant origin, using real-time PCR, in the context of allergen analyses. The method was previously validated in an interlaboratory study (ring trial) and applied to DNA extracted from samples that consist of defined proportions of peanut, hazelnut, walnut and cashew in rice biscuits, cooked sausage, sauce powder, vegan cookie and veggie burger (powder). The limit of detection of each real-time PCR has been determined experimentally to be about 5 mg/kg (10 mg/kg for roasted peanuts).

 

This document specifies a method for the determination of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni)), boron (B), cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), zinc (Zn), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), sulfur (S) and sodium (Na) in aqua regia digests of organic, organo-mineral fertilizers, and their fertilizing product blends using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). It is applicable and validated for several types of matrices as indicated in Annex A. This document is applicable to the component materials “by-products”, when used as components of fertilizing products, as well as the fertilizing products blends where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following components: fertilizers, liming materials, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors, plant biostimulants, and where the following category: organic fertilizers, organo-mineral fertilizers is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If the organic fertilizer or the organo-mineral fertilizer is not the highest % in the blend, the European Standard for the highest % of the blend applies. In case a fertilizing product blend is composed of components in equal quantity, the user decides which standard to apply. Variations in analytical methods for fertilizing product blends can lead to differing results as some components or matrix interactions can affect the outcome. Validation procedures have shown that developed standard methods are robust and reliable across diverse product compositions, but possible interferences and unexpected results when analysing fertilizing product blends are possible. This method is applicable to aqua regia digests prepared according to prEN 17768. NOTE Alternatively, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can be used for the determination of the elements in the aqua regia digests if the user proves that the method gives the same results.
