Methods of testing cement - Part 10: Determination of the water-soluble chromium (VI) content of cement

This document specifies the method for the determination of the water-soluble chromium (VI) content of cement. A reference method is described consisting of two stages, an extraction procedure and an analysis of the filtered extract. Guidance on other extraction procedures, suitable for screening tests, for factory production control or other purposes, is given but in case of dispute or failure to comply with a regulatory limit only the reference method is used. The reference method has alternatives whereby the filtered extract can be subjected to an oxidation step or not. The criteria by which the appropriate procedure is selected are set down. Other instrumental procedures can be used for the analysis of the filtered extract provided they are calibrated against the analysis of the filtered extract using the reference procedure. In the case of a dispute, only the reference method is used. This document specifies, for the determination of water-soluble chromium (VI) in the filtered extract, the reference methods (colorimetric determination by diphenylcarbazide in acidic conditions) and another method for the determination of total water-soluble chromium (by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, ICP-OES). The ICP-OES determines the total chromium content independently of the chemical species, i.e. whether it is present as chromium (III) or chromium (VI), for example. Experience has demonstrated that soluble chromium (VI) is predominantly present during the processing phase, such that, in most cases, the determination of total water-soluble chromium effectively reflects the chromium (VI) content. The water-soluble chromium (VI) content of cement can therefore be assessed conservatively using the method based on ICP-OES described in this document. In the case of a dispute, only the reference methods are used. This document specifies a method that applies to cements. NOTE 1 Annex A provides guidance on the possible application of this document to the determination of the water-soluble chromium (VI) content of cement-containing preparations. NOTE 2 Annexes B and C provide information on other test procedures based on paste extraction and thus depart from the performance of cement in its normal conditions of use. They can be carried out with or without the oxidation process. It is important that users are aware that results using these methods might be significantly different to those obtained by the reference method. In the case of dispute or failure to comply with the regulatory limit, only the reference method is used. NOTE 3 Annex D provides guidance on a method for determination of the excess reducing agent content of cement as used in the factory internal control system of some countries. It is important that manufacturers using such an internal control method ensure themselves of the relevance of results in comparison with testing by the reference method.

This document specifies the European Standards to which products have to conform in order to support the claims for microbicidal activity which are referred to in this document. This document also specifies terms and definitions which are used in European Standards. It is applicable to products for which activity is claimed against the following microorganisms: vegetative bacteria (including mycobacteria and Legionella), bacterial spores, yeasts, fungal spores and viruses (including bacteriophages). It is intended to: a) enable manufacturers of products to select the appropriate standards to be used in order to provide data which support their claims for a specific product; b) enable users of the product to assess the information provided by the manufacturer in relation to the use for which they intend to use the product; c) assist regulatory authorities in assessing claims made by the manufacturer or by the person responsible for placing the product on the market. It is applicable to products to be used in the area of human medicine, the veterinary area and in food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas. In the area of human medicine (Working Group 1, i.e. WG 1), it is applicable to chemical disinfectants and antiseptics to be used in areas and situations where disinfection or antisepsis is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care — in hospitals, in community medical facilities, dental institutions and medical laboratories for analyses and research, — in clinics of schools, of kindergartens and of nursing homes, — and may also occur in the workplace and in the home. It may also include services such as in laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for the patient. In the veterinary area (WG 2) it is applicable to chemical disinfectants and antiseptics to be used in the areas of breeding, husbandry, veterinary care facilities, production, transport and disposal of animals and veterinary laboratories for analyses and research. It is not applicable to chemical disinfectants used in the food chain following death and entry to the processing industry. In food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas (WG 3) it is applicable to chemical disinfectants and antiseptics to be used in processing, distribution and retailing of food of animal or vegetable origin. It is also applicable to products for all public areas where disinfection is not medically indicated (homes, catering, schools, nurseries, transports, hotels, offices etc.) and products used in packaging, biotechnology, laboratories (except laboratories for veterinary and medical analyses and research), pharmaceutical, cosmetic etc. industries. This document is also applicable to active substances and products under development for which no area of application has yet been specified. This document will be periodically updated to reflect the current published versions of each standard developed in CEN/TC 216. Independent of this update newly published standards are to be used, even if they are not yet mentioned in EN 14885. This document does not refer to methods for testing the toxicological and ecotoxicological properties of products or active substances.
