EN 12920 Leaching Test for Granulated Materials Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

EN 12920 Leaching Test for Granulated Materials is a laboratory testing service provided by Eurolab, which is governed by various international and national standards. The relevant standards include:

  • ISO 22475-1:2006: Leachability tests for granular materials Part 1: General requirements
  • EN 12920:2002: Leaching test for granulated materials Determination of the leaching behaviour of construction materials
  • TSE 1008:2014: Leaching test for granulated materials (Turkish Standard)
  • ASTM C976-09: Standard Test Method for Determining the Leachability of Heavy Metals from Solid Materials Using a Closed Bottle Test
  • These standards are developed and maintained by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), European Committee for Standardization (CEN), Turkish Standards Institution (TSE), and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

    Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The leaching test is mandatory in various countries, including Turkey, Germany, France, Italy, and Sweden. The relevant regulations and directives include:

  • European Unions Waste Framework Directive: (2008/98/EC)
  • Turkish Environmental Protection Law: No. 2873
  • German Federal Immission Control Act: BImSchG
  • These regulations require that construction materials meet specific leaching requirements to ensure the protection of human health and the environment.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The standard development organizations responsible for creating and maintaining these standards include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO): Develops international standards
  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN): Develops European standards based on ISO standards
  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE): Develops Turkish standards based on CEN and ISO standards
  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): Develops ASTM standards in the United States
  • These organizations ensure that standards are developed, maintained, and updated to reflect changing requirements and technologies.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Construction materials must comply with specific leaching standards depending on their intended use:

  • Building products: Must meet EN 12920
