This document gives criteria for mass spectrometric identification of target compounds in water samples and may be applied to environmental samples in general. This document shall be used in conjunction with a standard developed for the determination of the specific compounds, for example, ISO 17943[3] for volatile organic substances or ISO 16693[1] for determination of organochlorine pesticide (OCP). If the standard method for analysing specific compounds includes criteria for identification, those criteria shall be followed.

This document specifies the critical points to consider while developing an in-house mass spectrometry-based method for quantitative analysis of multi-group organic substances in the scope of physical-chemical analysis of water.

ISO/TS 13530 provides guidance on the initial characterization of the measurement performances. This document supplements ISO/TS 13530 by providing details on the following points:

— selection of the characterization-test matrix;

— internal standards and internal standard recoveries;

— analyte recovery;

— checking that performance levels do not degrade over time.

Chromatographic separation and identification of analytes are described in ISO/DIS 21253-1.

The estimation of measurement uncertainties is integral to the characterization of any quantitative method of analysis, but the process is not described here, as ISO 11352 applies. Similarly, the calibration protocols are not described here but set out in the ISO 8466- series of standards.

This document is not intended as a substitute for the currently applicable analytical standards dedicated to organic compounds but as a resource bringing additional characterization elements.

This part of ISO 11665 describes radon-222 test methods for soil gas using passive and active in-situ

sampling at depth comprised between surface and 2 m.

This part of ISO 11665 gives general requirements for the sampling techniques, either passive or active

and grab or continuous, for in-situ radon-222 activity concentrations measurement in soil gas.

The radon-222 activity concentration in the soil can be measured by spot or continuous measurement

methods (see ISO 11665-1). In case of spot measurement methods (ISO 11665-6), the soil gas sampling

is active only. On the other hand, the continuous methods (ISO 11665-5) are typically associated with

passive soil gas sampling.

The measurement methods are applicable to all types of soil and are determined according to the end

use of the measurement results (phenomenological observation, definition or verification of mitigation

techniques, etc.) taking into account the expected level of the radon-222 activity concentration.

These measurement methods are applicable to soil gas samples with radon activity concentrations

greater than 100 Bq/m3.

NOTE This part of ISO 11665 is complementary with ISO 11665-7 for characterization of the radon soil

potential.

This International Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the design of professional programmes to monitor workers exposed to the risk of internal contamination via inhalation by the use of radionuclides as unsealed sources in nuclear medicine imaging and therapy departments. It establishes principles for the development of compatible goals and requirements for monitoring programmes and, when adequate, dose assessment. It presents procedures and assumptions for the risk analysis, for the monitoring programmes, and for the standardized interpretation of monitoring data.

e) information that has to be collected for the design of a monitoring programme;

f) general requirements for monitoring programmes (e.g. detection limits, tolerated uncertainties);

g) frequencies of measurements;

h) procedures for dose assessment based on reference levels for routine and special monitoring

programmes;

— monitoring and internal dosimetry for the workers involved in the operation, maintenance, and servicing of PET cyclotrons;

— detailed descriptions of measuring methods and techniques;

This document provides guidelines and performance criteria for sampling airborne radioactive substances in the workplace. Emphasis is on health protection of workers in the indoor environment.

This document provides best practices and performance-based criteria for the use of air sampling devices and systems, including retrospective samplers and continuous air monitors. Specifically, this document covers air sampling program objectives, design of air sampling and monitoring programs to meet program objectives, methods for air sampling and monitoring in the workplace, and quality assurance to ensure system performance toward protecting workers against unnecessary inhalation exposures.

The primary purpose of the surveillance of airborne activity concentrations in the workplace is to evaluate and mitigate inhalation hazards to workers in facilities where these can become airborne. A comprehensive surveillance program can be used to

— determine the effectiveness of administrative and engineering controls for confinement,

— measure activity concentrations of radioactive substances,

— alert workers to high activity concentrations in the air,

— aid in estimating worker intakes when bioassay methods are unavailable,

— determine signage or posting requirements for radiation protection, and

— determine appropriate protective equipment and measures.

Air sampling techniques consist of two general approaches. The first approach is retrospective sampling, in which the air is sampled, the collection medium is removed and taken to a radiation detector system and analysed for radioactive substance, and the concentration results made available at a later time. In this context, the measured air concentrations are evaluated retrospectively. The second approach is continuous real-time air monitoring so that workers can be warned that a significant release of airborne radioactivity may have just occurred. In implementing an effective air sampling program, it is important to achieve a balance between the two general approaches. The specific balance depends on hazard level of the work and the characteristics of each facility.

A special component of the second approach which can apply, if properly implemented, is the preparation of continuous air monitoring instrumentation and protocols. This enables radiation protection monitoring of personnel that have been trained and fitted with personal protective equipment (PPE) that permit pre-planned, defined, extended stay time in elevated concentrations of airborne radioactive substances. Such approaches can occur either as part of a planned re-entry of a contaminated area following an accidental loss of containment for accident assessment and recovery, or part of a project which involves systematic or routine access to radioactive substances (e.g. preparing process material containing easily aerosolized components), or handling objects such as poorly characterized waste materials that may contain radioactive contaminants that could be aerosolized when handled during repackaging. In this special case, the role of continuous air monitoring is to provide an alert to health physics personnel that the air concentrations of concern have exceeded a threshold such that the planned level of protection afforded by PPE has been or could be exceeded. This level would typically be many 10’s or 100’s of times higher than the derived air concentration (DAC) established for unprotected workers. The monitoring alarm or alert would therefore be designed not to be confused with the normal monitoring alarm, and the action taken in response would be similarly targeted at the specific site and personnel involved.

The air sampling strategy should be designed to minimize internal exposures and balanced with social, technical, economic, practical, and public policy considerations that are associated with the use of the radioactive substance.

A comprehensive air sampling strategy should also consider that the air sampling program is only one element of a broader radiation protection program. Therefore, individuals involved with the air sampling program should interact with personnel working in other elements of the radiation protection program, such as contamination control and internal dosimetry.

This document does not address outdoor air sampling, effluent monitoring, or radon measurements.

This document specifies a method for quantitative determination of seven selected polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB28, PCB52, PCB101, PCB118, PCB138, PCB153 and PCB180) in soil, sludge, sediment, treated biowaste,and waste using GC-MS and GC-ECD (see Table 2).

The limit of detection depends on the determinants, the equipment used, the quality of chemicals used for the extraction of the sample and the clean-up of the extract.

Under the conditions specified in this European Standard, lower limit of application from 1 μg/kg (expressed as dry matter) for soils, sludge and biowaste to 10 μg/kg (expressed as dry matter) for solid waste can be achieved. For some specific samples the limit of 10 μg/kg cannot be reached.

Sludge, waste and treated biowaste may differ in properties, as well as in the expected contamination levels of PCB and presence of interfering substances. These differences make it impossible to describe one general procedure. This European Standard contains decision tables based on the properties of the sample and the extraction and clean-up procedure to be used.

NOTE For the analysis of PCB in insulating liquids, petroleum products, used oils and aqueous samples is referred to EN 61619, EN 12766–1 and EN ISO 6468 respectively.

The method can be applied to the analysis of other PCB congeners not specified in the scope, provided suitability is proven by proper in-house validation experiments.

This document specifies a method for the determination of selected polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in non-filtrated waters, for example drinking water, natural water (fresh water and sea water) and waste water containing less than 2 g/l solid particulate material (SPM) using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The compounds monitored by this method are typically the linear isomers. Other isomers may be reported separately as non-linear isomers and qualified as such. The group of compounds determined by this method are representative of a wide variety of polyfluorinated compounds. The analytes specified in Table 1 can be determined by this method. The list can be modified depending on the purpose for which the method is intended. The lower application range of this method can vary depending on the sensitivity of the equipment used and the matrix of the sample. For most compounds to which this document applies ≥ 0,2 ng/l as limit of quantification. Actual levels may depend on the blank levels achieved by individual laboratory.

The applicability of the method to further substances, not listed in Table 1, or to further types of water is not excluded, but needs to be validated separately for each individual case.

The user should be aware that each analyte has its own specific optimum conditions and therefore modification of the analyte list could require the specification of additional conditions for each additional parameter.

NOTE 1 Polyfluoroalkyl substances will be used in this document to describe the analytes monitored. Many of the compounds in Table 1 are perfluorinated and are also considered polyfluoralkyl substances

NOTE 2 In this document linear PFAS isomers are specified. The non-linear isomers may be present in environmental samples, especially for PFOS. Analysis of individual non-linear isomer of PFAS is described in Annex E.

This International Standard applies specifically to the nuclear criticality safety of solid nuclear wastes.

The standard also applies to small quantities of liquids and/or slurries containing fissile nuclides, which are either intimately associated with the solid nuclear waste materials or arise as a result of processing or handling the waste. For example, damp solid waste items.

The Standard does not apply to bulk or process liquids (including higher concentration process solutions) or fuel assemblies (either irradiated or un-irradiated). Fuel rods are also not within the scope of this standard.

All stages of the waste life cycle are within the scope of the Standard. This standard may also be applied to the transport of solid nuclear waste outside the boundaries of nuclear establishments, noting that national and/or international Regulations may take precedence.
