Introduction
Carbon occurs in soils and materials similar to soil in a variety of compounds and forms. When
determining carbon in soils or soil-like materials, an overall determination of the different mass fractions
is most feasible. The summarized declaration of carbon is yet done by differentiating organic and
inorganic carbon (EN 15936, ISO 10694). In the proportion classified as “organic carbon”, a fraction of
very stable highly aromatic and highly condensed carbon compounds can be present, sometimes in
significant mass fractions. Since this black (pyrogenic) carbon is only very slowly decomposed and
released, its environmental relevance has to be differently evaluated than the proportions of organic
carbon which are faster chemical-biologically decomposed. The environmental relevance is estimated if
e.g. the suitability of soils and soil-like materials for disposal in landfill is assessed. For a differentiated
assessment, a separate declaration of the different mass fractions of organic, black (pyrogenic) and
inorganic carbon is necessary. Using the specified temperature-gradient method and utilizing the
combustion characteristic(s), the carbon fractions established according to this standard in soil and soil-
like materials can be differentiated.
In respect of the hazard potential, the content of solely organically bonded carbon in solids determined
with the described method can be important for disposal and/or recycling.
The method has been validated with the materials listed in Table 1, see also Annex A.

1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the differentiated determination of the organic carbon content
(TOC ) which is released at temperatures up to 400 °C, the residual oxidizable carbon (ROC) (including
e.g. lignite (brown coal), hard coal, charcoal, black carbon, soot) and the inorganic carbon (TIC ) which
is released at temperatures up to 900 °C.
The basis is the dry combustion or decomposition of carbon to CO in the presence of oxygen or non-
oxygen conditions using temperatures ranging from 150 °C to 900 °C in dry solid samples of sediment,
soil, soil with anthropogenic admixtures and solid waste (see Table 1) with carbon contents of more than
1 g per kg (0,1 % C) (per carbon type in the test portion).
NOTE TIC900’ includes the TIC measured after acid addition e.g. by ISO 10694 or EN 15936. TOC400 is a fraction
of TOC measured according to e.g. ISO 10694 or EN 15936.
