BS EN 14429:2015

This standard BS EN 14429:2015 Characterization of waste. Leaching behaviour test. Influence of pH on leaching with initial acid/base addition is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.030.01 Wastes in general

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the influence of pH on the leachability of inorganic constituents from a waste material. The equilibrium condition as defined in the standard is established by addition of pre-determined amounts of acid or base to reach desired end pH values. This test method produces eluates, which are subsequently characterized physically and chemically.

This European Standard is a parameter specific test as specified in EN 12920 . The application of this test method alone is not sufficient for the determination of the detailed leaching behaviour of a waste under specified conditions.
