This European Standard specifies performance criteria for the selection of methods of analysis of trace elements in
foodstuffs.
It provides general considerations about the special requirements on sample preparation, apparatus, equipment
and reagents for trace elements analysis.
In selecting a method of analysis for a specific food matrix, the analyst should give preference to any method which
has been developed by the appropriate vertical Technical Committee rather than using a method which has been
developed by the horizontal Technical Committee CEN/TC 275/WG 10. However it is the responsibility of the analyst
to determine whether an applicable vertical standard has been published.
Diese ÖNORM legt Auswahlkriterien für Untersuchungsverfahren zur Bestimmung von Elementspuren in Lebensmitteln fest. Sie beschreibt die besonderen Anforderungen an die Probenvorbereitung, die Geräte und Ausrüstung und die Reagenzien für die Analyse von Elementspuren.
