20、land and the United Kingdom. DIN EN 16087-2:2012-01 EN 16087-2:2011 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard describes a method to determine the aerobic biological activity using a self-heating test. This method is only applicable to composted material. 2 Principle Measurement of self-heating in a Dewar
21、 vessel and measurement of the maximum temperature, where the temperature is an indicator of the state of aerobic biological activity. 3 Apparatus 3.1 Dewar vessel Volume 1,5 l, internal diameter (100 3) mm. 3.2 Temperature measurement device Capable of recording a maximum temperature. 3.3 Sieve 10
22、mm mesh size. 3.4 Temperature controlled room or climate cabinet 4 Procedure 4.1 General The self-heating test shall be carried out as soon as possible after sampling. If a delay to the start of testing cannot be avoided, cool storage (5 3) C for up to three days) of the samples is then necessary. E
23、nsure that the temperature of the sample material corresponds to a temperature of (22 2) C at the beginning of the test. Record the ambient temperature during the trial to ensure that the required temperature is maintained. 4.2 Sample preparation 4.2.1 General The fresh test sample is sieved 10 mm (
24、see 3.3). If more than 30 % of the material is retained on the sieve, the method is not appropriate. The moisture content is adjusted according to the results of a fist test (see 4.2.2). 4.2.2 Fist test The fist test shall be carried out wearing protective gloves. DIN EN 16087-2:2012-01 EN 16087-2:2
25、011 (E) 5 The material to be tested shall be adjusted to a moisture content that is optimal for microbial processes prior to testing. The compost sample is pressed in the fist. If water beads escape between the fingers, the sample is too wet. If the sample crumbles in the hand when the fist is opene
26、d, without further action, the sample is too dry. Suitable moisture content is present if the pressed sample forms an aggregate which crumbles under mild pressure, after the fist has been opened; if, on the contrary, it only deforms, it is too wet. The optimal moisture content is that which may be d
27、escribed as “moist as a well-squeezed sponge“. When moistening excessively dry sample material the water shall be mixed into the sample material in such a manner that it is evenly absorbed. In the case of very dry samples, this process requires thorough mixing at intervals. This procedure shall last
28、 no more than 8 h. Excessively moist samples shall be carefully air-dried ( 30 C) and thoroughly mixed thereafter. The maximum time from sampling to the start of the test shall not exceed five days. 4.3 Determination of self-heating After optimisation of the moisture content, the Dewar vessels (see
29、3.1) are filled up to the rim with loosely poured compost, tapping the test containers on a base, and the sensor of the temperature measurement device (see 3.2) is placed approximately 3 cm above the inside bottom of the vessel. The vessels shall be set up without covering (see Figure 1). The room t
30、emperature shall be maintained at (22 2) C for the entire duration. As a rule the temperature maximum (Tmax) in the sample is reached after two to five days. NOTE If a high precision for the monitoring of the temperature rise is required (for example for materials low in biological activity like “ma
31、ture“ composts), the test should be carried out under temperature controlled conditions.

32、he temperature is dropping, but after ten days at the latest. The measurement shall be performed in duplicate. 5 Expression of results The result Tmaxis expressed as the mean from both measurements in C with an accuracy of one decimal place. 6 Test report The test report shall contain at least the f
33、ollowing: a) a reference to this standard; b) all data required for a complete identification of the sample; c) the maximum temperature in C, rounded to one decimal place; d) if required, the temperature profile of the sample during analysis; e) details of all work cycles not contained in this stand
