What sampling volume is necessary for the safe verification of the limit value?
A brief guide
According to the latest regulations in the most recent edition of the German 17th BImSchV, sampling for dioxin/furan analysis is no longer tied to a 6-hour sampling duration but is linked to achieving the necessary detection limits.
This regulation allows for shortened sampling times with highly sensitive determination methods (HRGC/HRMS), while still providing a sufficient safety margin for the analytics.
What this means for the minimum volumes is shown in our attached table.
