scope:

This standard specifies the test method used for the determination of the loss on ignition (L.O.I) of aggregates produced by processing Municipal Incinerator Bottom Ash (MIBA). Unless otherwise stated, the test methods specified in this European Standard may be used for factory production control, for audit tests or for type tests. This standard describes the reference methods use for type testing and in case of dispute (and alternatives methods) for LOI of MIBA (and if mentioned alternative ones). For the purpose of type testing and in case of dispute only the reference method should be used. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided than an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established.
