Analyses

RVX offers realisation and interpretation of waste behaviour characterisation in lixiviation (short term) and/or percolation (long term) according to normed methods :

• test of percolation at upward flow : NF EN 14405 Norm - Simulation of waste chemical behaviour during the dumping in Waste Storage Facility (CSD)
• test of lixiviation at 24h : NF EN 12457 - 1, 2 or 4 Norm classification index X 30 402 – 2 recommended by European decision 19 December 2002

Evaluation of waste pollutant potential compulsory and prior to the acceptation of waste materials in Waste Storage Facility (CSD) class I to III.

Statutory application of the lixiviation test use according to the standard X 30 402-2

Quote from the Official bulletin - Arrété of December 31st 2004 concerning the installations of inert industrial waste storage systems resulting in classified installations.

SPECIFICATION OF ADMITTANCE TO STORAGE INSTALLATION FOR INERT INDUSTRIAL WASTE

The test of pollutant potential is based on the use on a lixiviation test and the measure of the total contents. The lixiviation test to be applied is the lixiviation test X 30 402-2.

The lixiviation test, according to the standardized method, contains one single lixiviation of 24 hours. The sample is analysed and the result is expressed according to the modalities of calculation proposed in the standards appendices.

RVX also offers en environmental service in collaboration with our subsidiary LAEPS - Laboratoire d'Analyses Environnementales des Pays de Savoie.

The analyses laboratory has the assets to offer a global service from sampling to analyses with interpretation of results and advice.

The analyses methods are carried out under cover of :

• Approval 1, 2, 3 of Ministry of Environment,
• Approval of Ministry of Health,
• Accreditation COFRAC Program 100-1 and 156.
