Annex 2 (to § 5 (3))
Sampling and analysis of waste oils

(Fundstelle des Originaltextes: BGBl. I 2002, 1373-1374)

1

Sampling and storage of the sample The sampling for the examination of a waste oil on the contents of total and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is carried out in accordance with DIN 51 750 Part 1, August 1983, and Part 2, March 1984. In addition to the requirements of standard DIN 51 750, reference is made to the following:

1.1

Use of vacuum tank wagon When using vacuum tank wagons, the sampling can be done as described below (see figure).

Sampling device for vacuum tank wagons (content: non-representable figure, site: BGBl. I 2002, 1373) The suction hose is connected to the removal pipe of the waste oil tank or is hung in other containers. After the tank of the vehicle has been set under vacuum, the slides 1 and 4 are opened with closed teeth 2 and 3 and the take-over process begins. At the beginning and several times repeatedly until the end, the slides 1 and 4 are closed, the intermediate pipe piece is ventilated by means of the cock 2 and subsequently the contents of this pipe socket are drained into a sampling vessel via the tap 3. A total sample of at least 1 l is obtained from several such deprivations. The sampling should not take place immediately at the beginning of the acquisition of the waste oil, otherwise sample falsification can occur due to spilling effects.

1.2

Sampling vessels For the sampling and storage of the samples, glass or metal vessels shall be used. Vessels of other materials are then approved if it is shown that no holding of PCBs which influences the measurement result is effected through the vessel wall.

1.3

Sample quantities The respective sample quantity shall be at least 1 l.

1.4

Sampling at the seizette stelleIn the case of sampling at a waste disposal site in accordance with § 5 (1) sentence 1, 250 ml shall remain from the sample at the point of seizance and 250 ml for the waste oil collector.

1.5

Sampling at the rehearsals for the purpose of sampling for the purposes of § 5 (2) of this Regulation shall be divided into four subsamples. A sample for the examination laboratory, a sample for the supplier, a sample for the condienter and a sample for possible arbitral analyses (reset samples) are each determined. The number of partial samples shall be reduced accordingly.

1.6

Attention to safety regulations When sampling and handling of the sample, the relevant safety regulations, in particular those of fire protection, must be observed.

1.7

Sampling protocol The sampling protocol is a protocol based on the model of the standard 51 750 part 1.

1.8

Storage of samples The storage of samples taken in accordance with this Regulation shall be determined in accordance with § 5 (1) and (3). In the case of a criminal or penal procedure, the sample containers provided for the arbitration proceedings (arbitration procedure in accordance with DIN 51 848, March 1984 edition) must be stored until the end of the procedure. The drawn samples must be secured (e.g. by pinching), that the sample quantity remains unchanged, as well as the place and time of the removal can be detected at any time.

2

Determination of the content of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)

2.1

Basic principles The individual contents of the following 6 congeners are

	2,4,4 '-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB 28)
	2,2 ', 5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB 52)
	2,2 ', 4,5,5'-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 101)
	2,2 ', 3,4', 4 ', 5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 138)
	2,2 ', 4,4', 5,5 '-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 153)
	2,2 ', 3,4,4', 5,5 '-heptachlorobiphenyl (PCB 180)
in the case of waste oils, and the PCB content is calculated from this.

2.2

Examination procedures The determination of the individual contents of the 6 congeners referred to in section 2.1 has to be carried out in accordance with DIN EN 12 766, part 1, edition November 2000.

2.3

Calculation method The calculation of the PCB content has to be done according to DIN EN 12 766 part 2, edition December 2001, method B.

2.4

Exceeding the limit value The limit value of 20 mg PCB/kg of waste oil to be observed in accordance with § 3 shall be deemed to have been exceeded for a calculated content of 28.5 mg PCB/kg of used oil. In accordance with the precision specifications of DIN EN 12 766 Part 2, December 2001, this value is used to exceed the limit value with a statistical safety of 95%.

3

Determination of the total amount of content

3.1

Basic substitutes The content of a waste oil in total alos is understood to be the mass fraction of the inorganic and organically bound halogens chlorine and bromine in the water-free oil phase. The methods suitable for the determination of the total content of the oil are used. are listed in Section 3.3. Equivalent methods are approved.

3.2

Sample preparation The sample preparation should be carried out in such a way that the determined contents refer to the water-free oil phase. The liquid sample to be examined is tested for approximately existing settling water. If a water phase can be seen, it is separated off by means of a separating funnel. The oil phase obtained or samples with small amounts of free water or emulsions are homogenized. The water contents of the homogenized samples are mixed with water. anhydrous sodium sulphate, which is stirred into a sample quantity of 5 to 30 g in portions. If necessary, the sodium sulphate and other solids are removed from the oil. Note: The drying of the waste oil sample is so that evaporative losses due to volatile components should be avoided.

3.3

Analytical procedure

3.3.1

Preliminary test with energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis determination of the chlorine and bromine content with energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis according to DIN 51 577 part 4, February 1994 edition.

3.3.2

Reference method

3.3.2.1

Combustion according to Wickbold and determination of the halide content in the digestion solution of the sample in a winding apparatus in accordance with DIN EN ISO 24 260, May 1994 edition, or by another equivalent method and subsequent Determination of the halide content (in accordance with section 3.1) in the digestion solution on the basis of an argentometric titration, e.g. B. according to DIN 51 408, part 1, June 1983, or according to DIN 38 405 part 1, December 1985, or by means of ion chromatography in accordance with DIN EN ISO 10 304 part 1, April 1995, or by another equivalent process.

3.3.2.2

Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis determination of the chlorine and bromine content with wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis according to DIN 51 577 part 2, January 1993 edition, respectively. DIN 51 577 part 3, edition June 1990.

3.4

Overrun of the limit value exceeding the permissible total amount of alos permitted in accordance with § 3 (1) is proven in principle if the content determined according to a reference method is more than 5% above the limit value. The examination according to one of the reference methods can be dispensed with if the preliminary test does not exceed a total amount of 1.4 g/kg.

4

Quality assurance and control The investigative bodies are obliged to ensure the reliability of the analytical results by means of appropriate measures for quality assurance and control. This includes, among other things, proof of the regular successful participation in ring trials.
