EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 196-10 standard. This part of EN 196 specifies the method for determining the water-soluble chromium (VI) content of cement.
A reference method is described which consists of two steps, 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 provided, but only the reference method is used in case of disagreement or failure to comply with a legal limit.
There are alternatives to the reference method where the filtered extract may or may not be subjected to an oxidation step. The criteria by which the appropriate procedure is selected are determined. 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.
This part of EN 196 describes a method applied to cements. It may have wider applicability, but this needs to be verified by testing on a per product basis.
