ÖNORM EN 13806-3

Issue date: 2025 06 01

Foodstuffs - Determination of trace elements - Part 3: Determination of total mercury in foodstuffs with atomic absorption directly from the foodstuff (elemental mercury analysis)

This document specifies a method for the determination of total mercury (Hg) in foodstuffs using direct atomic absorption spectrometry after thermal decomposition in an oxygen or air flow and concentration by amalgam formation. The method is applicable for solid and liquid samples. This method was tested in a interlaboratory study carried out on seven different materials with a mercury concentration in the range from 0,005 mg/kg to 5,20 mg/kg and successfully validated in this range. 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 13806-3

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.
