EPA 7000B Flame Atomic Absorption for Metal Residues in Feed Grain: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

EPA 7000B Flame Atomic Absorption is a widely accepted laboratory testing method used to detect and quantify metal residues in feed grain. This testing service is governed by various international and national standards, including ISO, ASTM, EN, TSE, and others.

International Standards

  • ISO 17294-1:2013 - Analytical methods for the determination of cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic in foodstuffs - Part 1: Determination of cadmium
  • ISO 17295-1:2014 - Analytical methods for the determination of cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic in foodstuffs - Part 2: Determination of lead
  • ASTM E1619-18 - Standard Guide for Assessing and Reporting the Presence/Absence of Regulated Hazardous Substances (RHS) in Containers
  • National Standards

  • EN 17294-1:2013 - Analytical methods for the determination of cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic in foodstuffs - Part 1: Determination of cadmium
  • EN 17295-1:2014 - Analytical methods for the determination of cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic in foodstuffs - Part 2: Determination of lead
  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) EN ISO 17294-1:2013
  • Standard Development Organizations

    The development and maintenance of standards are managed by standard development organizations such as:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
  • These organizations play a crucial role in ensuring that laboratory testing methods, including EPA 7000B Flame Atomic Absorption, meet the required quality standards.
