Inorganic fertilizers - Determination of the copper content in ammonium nitrate fertilizers of high nitrogen content

This document specifies a method for the determination of the copper content in ammonium nitrate fertilizers of high nitrogen content. This document is applicable to 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: inorganic fertilizers is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If inorganic 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.

Water quality - Technetium-99- Part 1: Test method using liquid scintillation counting (ISO/DIS 22125-1:2026)

WARNING — Persons using this document should be familiar with normal laboratory practices. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of any other restrictions. IMPORTANT — It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this document be carried out by suitably trained staff. This document specifies methods to determine 99Tc by liquid scintillation counting (LSC) in water supplies, drinking water, rainwater, surface and ground water, marine water, as well as cooling water, industrial water, domestic, and industrial wastewater after proper sampling, handling, and test sample preparation. The detection limit depends on the sample volume, the instrument used, the background count rate, the detection efficiency, the counting time, and the chemical yield. The minimum detectable activity of the methods described in this document, using currently available LSC apparatus, is approximately 5 Bq·l−1 to 20 Bq·l−1, which is lower than the WHO criteria for safe consumption of drinking water (100 Bq·l-1).[4] These values can be achieved with a counting time of 60 min for a sample volume varying between 14 ml to 40 ml. The method presented in this document is not intended for the determination of ultra-trace activity concentrations of 99Tc. The method described in this document is applicable in the event of an emergency situation, but not if 99mTc is present at quantities that could cause interference and not if 99mTc is used as a recovery tracer. Filtration of the test sample is necessary for the methods described in this document if suspended solids are present as the methods presented in this document can only be used to determine soluble 99Tc. The analysis of 99Tc adsorbed to suspended matter is not covered by this method. The analysis of the insoluble fraction requires a mineralization step that is not covered by this document. In this case, the measurement is made on the different phases obtained. The final activity is the sum of all the measured activity concentrations. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the validity of this test method for the water samples tested.

Non-destructive testing - Thermographic testing - Active thermography with inductive excitation

This document specifies a method and establishes guidelines for non-destructive testing using active thermography with inductive excitation. By using inductive heating of the test object, this active thermography method is suitable for inspecting test objects made of metals or other electrically conductive materials. Such tests are conducted for: - the detection of surface-breaking discontinuities, particularly cracks; and - the detection of discontinuities located near the surface. The functional principle of the defect detection can be based on a direct interaction of defect and excitation signal (defect selective) or an indirect interaction by using derivations of the applied heat flow. For this purpose, active thermography with inductive excitation is conducted using different sources of excitation (inductors) in reflection and transmission configurations. Areas tested in one shot are typically between a few cm2 and a few hundred cm2, depending on the geometry of the used inductor. In dynamic configuration, larger areas can be tested. Fields of application for active thermography with inductive excitation are to be found in industrial manufacturing and in maintenance (vehicle, drive system and power plant components, jointing technique, semi-finished products, etc.). Active thermography with inductive excitation is also called inductive thermography or eddy-current excited thermography.

Water quality - Plutonium and neptunium - Test method using ICP-MS (ISO/DIS 20899:2026)

This document specifies methods to determine the 239Pu, 240Pu, 241Pu and 237Np by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The mass concentrations obtained can be converted into activity concentrations. Due to its relatively short half-life and 238U isobaric interference, 238Pu can hardly be measured by this method. To quantify 238Pu isotope by mass spectrometry, other techniques can be used (ICP-MS with collision-reaction cell, ICP-MS/MS with collision-reaction cell or chemical separation). Alpha spectrometry measurement, as described in ISO 13167,[8] is currently used[9]. The method is applicable to test samples of supply/drinking water, rainwater, surface and ground water, marine water, as well as cooling water, industrial water, domestic, and industrial wastewater after proper sampling and handling, and test sample preparation. A chemical separation of Np and Pu, with quantitative removal of all other elements (including uranium, americium, etc.) is mandatory, given all the potential interferences that may bias the measurement or lead to false positives. Chemical separations can eliminate most of the 238U. However, use of reagents, glassware, and atmosphere for the chemical separation, will also add 238U to the samples and prevent measurement of 238Pu. The limit of detection depends on the sample volume, the instrument used, the background count rate, the detection efficiency, the counting time, and the chemical yield. The detection limit of the method described in this document, using currently available ICP-MS apparatus, is approximately 1 mBq·l-1 for 239Pu, 240Pu, 237Np and 1 Bq·l-1 for 241Pu, which is lower or of the same order of magnitude than the WHO criteria for safe consumption of drinking water (1 mBq·l-1 for 239Pu, 240Pu, 237Np and 10 Bq·l-1 for 241Pu[4]).This method covers the measurement of those radionuclides in water at activity concentrations between approximately[10][11]: — 1 mBq·l−1 to 5 Bq·l−1 for 239Pu, 240Pu and 237Np; — 1 Bq·l−1 to 5 Bq·l−1 for 241Pu. Samples with higher activity concentrations than 5 Bq·l−1 can be measured if a dilution is performed. The higher is the concentration factor, the lower are the LD and LQ expressed in Bq/L of water. A preconcentration is especially useful for the quantification of 241Pu that is usually the less abundant isotope of plutonium. The method described in this document is applicable in the event of an emergency situation. Filtration of the test sample is necessary. The analysis of 239Pu, 240Pu, 241Pu and 237Np adsorbed to suspended matter is not covered by this method. The analysis of the insoluble fraction requires a mineralization step that is not covered by this document. In this case, the measurement is performed separately on each phase or the total phase. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the validity of this test method for the water samples tested.
