PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee CH/35 on the
Examination of Wastes and forms part of a series of Standards providing a standardized
method of determining the contamination potential of groundwater with volatile organic
materials from liquid and solid wastes, soils, sediments and sludges.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the
application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral
part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and
guidance.

Wastes, sediments and contaminated soils
1 SCOPE This Standard was prepared to provide a method for the preparation of
leachates using zero headspace conditions, from liquid and solid wastes, sediments,
sludges and soils for assessing the potential of volatile organic contamination of
groundwater in a variety of disposal-to-land scenarios.
It deals only with the preparation of the leachate and does not describe procedures prior to
