Description / Abstract:
Procedures for preparation of high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps for the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) are presented below. These procedures are intended to supplement the TCLP by supplying specific instructions for size reduction and for other critical procedures specific to the testing of HID lamps.
This standard specifically covers high-intensity discharge lamp types. Additional standards are in preparation or have been prepared for fluorescent lamps and for other types that require specific sample preparation instructions because of their design or construction.
The protocol that follows is grouped to include general requirements, lamp preparation, leaching, filtration, storage, and leaching vessel reuse.
