English Abstract A round robin test was carried out to obtain more
information about the variability of the DIN/AFNOR test (one stage leaching
test) and the proposed CEN leaching test (two stage serial leaching test)
and to obtain information on the comparability of both tests. Various
countries contributed to the round robin test. For an estimation of the
possible concentration of elements in the drainage water from a landfill and
the emission of elements into the soil, information at a liquid to soil
ratio (L/S) of 2 l/kg (proposed CEN leaching test) is of great importance
for a correct judgement of waste material to be
landfilled.
