Scope

This standard specifies a method for the determination of the concentration of mercury in burner fuels derived from waste mineral oils in the range 0,2 to 10 mg/kg.

For the purposes of this standard, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.

Note — The description of waste mineral oils that are acceptable inputs for the production of Processed Fuel Oil is given in Appendix B of the Environment Agency’s Quality Protocol for Processed Fuel Oil.
