X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) represents a fast and reliable method for the determination of the total contents of certain elements within different matrices. Quantitative analysis using XRF is described in EN 15309. DIN EN 16424 is dedicated to field portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) equipment (hand-held or portable bench top) and describes a screening method for the determination of the elemental composition of waste materials for on-site verification. Portable XRF spectrometers are used for a rapid and exploratory analysis of paste-like or solid materials. The absence or presence of specific elements is displayed qualitatively with an indication of the concentration level. This standard is to be read in conjunction with CEN/TR 16130 and it is an exemplification of EN 16123.
