ÖNORM EN 13806-1

Issue date: 2025 06 01

Foodstuffs - Determination of trace elements - Part 1: Determination of total mercury in foodstuffs by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) - Cold vapour technique after pressure digestion

This document specifies a method for the determination of total mercury in foodstuffs by cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) after pressure digestion. This method was tested in an interlaboratory study carried out in connection with the pressure digestion method EN 13805 on seven different materials with a mercury concentration in the range from 0,005 mg/kg to 5,06 mg/kg and successfully validated in the range from 0,015 mg/kg to 5,06 mg/kg. The following foodstuffs were analysed: — Saithe (dried); — Celery (dried); — Wheat noodle powder; — Wild mushrooms (dried); — Pig liver (dried); — Cacao powder; — Tuna fish (dried). The lower limit of the method’s applicability varies depending on the food matrix and the water content of the foodstuff. It is a laboratory-specific value and is defined by the laboratory when calculating the limit of quantification (see 9.2).

Frequently Asked Questions about ÖNORM EN 13806-1

What is a "Single-User Licence"?

When you purchase a standard from the Austrian Standards webshop (e.g. ÖNORM, ISO), a single-user licence is included as standard. This entitles a single person to use the standard. A multi-user licence is required if several employees need access. It enables company-wide, legally compliant use and sharing of standards.

How can I get involved in the further development of this standard?

Standardization thrives on expertise and participation. Anyone interested can play an active role in its further development – for example, by joining the relevant committee or a working group. In this way, you can help shape the content and contribute to advancing the state of the art.
