    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines the determination of total nitrogen (organic and inorganic) according to the procedure of Dumas in sludge, treated biowaste and soil.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies the determination of total nitrogen (organic and inorganic) according to the procedure of Dumas in sludge, treated biowaste and soil. A typical limit of detection is 0,02 % nitrogen, and a typical limit of quantification is 0,08 % nitrogen.
