EPA Method 8100 Analysis of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in Soil: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in soil is a critical aspect of environmental testing, and it is governed by various international and national standards. The European Unions (EU) Environmental Policy Framework sets the foundation for environmental protection and sustainability. The EUs directive on soil protection (2009/28/EC) emphasizes the importance of protecting soil from pollution.

ISO 9001:2015

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a global developer of voluntary international standards, and its ISO 9001:2015 standard sets the requirements for quality management systems. This standard requires organizations to establish a process approach to managing their activities and ensure that they meet customer and regulatory requirements.

ASTM D5634-18

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is a developer of voluntary standards, and its ASTM D5634-18 standard specifies the sampling procedure for soils. This standard provides guidance on how to collect and prepare soil samples for analysis.

EN 14338:2019

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is responsible for developing and maintaining technical standards in Europe. The EN 14338:2019 standard specifies the requirements for the testing of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in soil. This standard provides a comprehensive framework for the analysis of PCBs, including sampling, sample preparation, extraction, and detection.

TSE 1235

The Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) is responsible for developing and maintaining technical standards in Turkey. The TSE 1235 standard specifies the requirements for the testing of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in soil. This standard provides guidance on how to collect, prepare, and analyze soil samples for PCB analysis.

Standard Development Organizations

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) are all standard development organizations that play a crucial role in developing and maintaining technical standards.
