Annex D (informative) Extraction method of total hexavalent
        chromium found in welding particulate matter

Describes a method for the determination of the particulate fume emission rate from arc welding processes using a fume box technique. It defines a method of sampling particulate fume for chemical analysis and suggests possible analytical techniques in order to characterize fumes emitted by consumable during welding.
