Annotation of standard text ČSN EN 16943 (560082):

This European Standard describes a method for the determination of calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulfur and zinc in different foodstuffs using optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES) after pressure digestion.

This method has been validated in an interlaboratory study according to ISO 5725 on infant formula soya based, cheese, chicken meat, wheat flour, apple juice, lobster and milk (see elements ranges Table 1 and validation data in Annex B).

HorRat values greater than 2 have been observed for certain analyte/matrix combinations during the validation study.

At European or International level, vertical standards for the determination of specific minerals can exist, e.g. for milk and milk products or for animal and vegetable fats and oils
