- What is BS EN 17053- Determination of trace elements and heavy metals in animal feeds about?
BS EN 17053 is a standard that serves technical specifications for the determination of trace elements and heavy metals in animal feeds which enables regulating their presence in animal feed that complies with regulatory requirements.
BS EN 17053 specifies a method for determining trace elements, heavy metals and other elements in animal feed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
BS EN 17053 method determines As, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Mo, Pb, Se, Tl, U and Zn in the extraction solution after pressurized digestion. To determine extractable lead in minerals and feeds containing phyllosilicates (e.g., kaolinite clay), wet digestion with nitric acid should be used. BS EN 17053:2018 history
