This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the loss on ignition.This procedure is applicable to all kinds of waste; sludge and sediments. The loss on ignition is often used as an estimate for the content of non-volatile organic matter in waste; sludge and sediments. It should be noted that any content of elementary carbon and volatilisation of organic materials or chemical reactions by inorganic compounds; is included in the loss on ignition.
