31、15522-2:2012 (E) 7 Introduction This Technical Report describes and recommends a forensic methodology for characterising and identifying the source of waterborne oils resulting from accidental spills or intentional discharges. The methodology may be used in support of the legal process as evidence f

32、or prosecuting offenders (“potential responsible party“ PRP). This methodology is a technical revision of CEN/TR 15522-2 Version 1 published in December 2006. This methodology is composed of two parts that are described by the following CEN documents: Part 1 Sampling: describes sampling techniques a

33、nd the handling of oil samples prior to their arrival at the forensic laboratory; Part 2 Methodology: covers the general concepts and laboratory procedures of oil spill identification methodology, analytical techniques, data processing, data treatment, and interpretation/evaluation and reporting of

34、results. Oil spill source identification is a complex methodology due to the large variation in samples and oil spill situations that can be encountered. Part 1 is a compilation of instructions and experiences from experts all over the world which will guide the user in sampling, storing and deliver

35、ing oil samples for laboratory analysis. Part 2 will guide the reader through the analytical process. It prescribes how to prepare and analyse oil samples using GC-FID and GC-low-resolution mass spectrometry (MS). Any chemical differences found between samples are only relevant if a difference is la

36、rger than the variability of the method itself. Good analytical performance and strict quality assurance are therefore essential. In the Annexes of Part 2, relevant information concerning different types of oil and oil comparison techniques is presented. The main purpose of the methodology described

37、 in this Technical Report (TR) is to defensibly identify the source of oil spills in marine, estuarine and other aquatic environments by comparing the chemical compositions of samples from spills with those of suspected sources. The underlying basis for this method is the widely variable nature of o

38、ils with respect to their specific chemical compositions, which allows oils from different sources to be readily distinguished using the appropriate analytical methods. The method relies upon detailed chemical characterisation and statistical comparison between samples (i.e., a spilled oil and a sus

39、pected source) diagnostic features in order to determine whether they “match”. To minimise the danger of “false positive matches”, good laboratory practices are necessarily maintained. Even so, a “positive match” between a spilled oil and a suspected source may not be used alone to identify the “pot

40、ential responsible party“ (PRP), but this result is often a critical piece of evidence in proving a case within the legal process. However, in some oil spill identification cases, both the oil spill and also suspected source(s) may not necessarily be unique or homogeneous in nature, e.g., due to the

41、 changing/variable nature of oil in the bilge tanks or due to mixing of oils spilled from several sources in a case of a larger incident. The risk therefore exists that the chemical composition of the available source samples may not match to that of the available spill samples. In such cases, oil s

42、pill identification methodologies in general will have limitations and may not necessarily lead to unequivocal conclusions. In other words, the success of this methodology in defensibly identifying a spilled oils source depends upon the samples available for chemical study. To minimise the danger fo

43、r “false positive” or “false non-matches”, good sampling practice, and particularly the need to obtain appropriate reference/suspect source samples, is crucial (as described in Part 1: Sampling). When oil from suspected sources is not available, this methodology may still be used to characterise the

44、 spilled oil in order to determine the spilled oil type and any specific characteristics. The characterisation of a spilled oil sample can still be useful for several reasons: If the source of an oil pollution event is unknown, the investigating authorities should be advised on the type of oil in or

45、der to aid in the identification of a possible source. For example, in the case of a “mystery” spill, the mere differentiation between pure, unused refined petroleum products (e.g. diesel fuel versus heavy fuel oil) or versus crude oil or waste oil (e.g., bilge residues, sludge, slops) can provide p

46、otentially PD CEN/TR 15522-2:2012CEN/TR 15522-2:2012 (E) 8 valuable information as the possible source(s) for the spill. In such instances, the type of oil spilled should be identified rapidly because the chances of identifying and collecting candidate source oils generally decrease with time. In so

47、me court trials, the differentiation between pure refined products and waste oil may be very important because it allows conclusions to be drawn regarding the cause of an oil discharge, e.g. technical failure, accidental discharge, intentional discharge. In some countries, photos (e.g. taken from an

48、 airplane) from a plume behind a ship, combined with the evidence that the plume contains mineral oil, is enough for a condemnation. Finally, characterisation of the spilled oil provides a baseline against which future impacts to the affected area/environment might be compared. This Technical Report is the result of advancements in the field of oil spill identification e.g., 13, 21, 44, 46 and 50 that have been made since the Nordtest Method 35, 36 was first introduced in 1991. These have included: ad
