Analysis of soils
Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are
subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editions as
necessary. It is important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest
edition, and any amendments thereto.
Full details of all Australian Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australia
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The
Australian Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publications,
new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head office of Standards
Australia, are welcomed. Notification of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard
should be made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

Analysis of soils
PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
Committee EV/9, Sampling and Analysis of Soils and Biota. This Standard is the result of
a consensus among the representatives of the Joint Committee to produce it as an
Australian Standard.
This Standard provides a method of test for the determination by flame atomic absorption
spectrometry of metals extracted from soil by digestion with aqua regia. This Standard
should be read in conjunction with AS 2134.1, Recommended practice for chemical
analysis by atomic absorption spectrometry, Part 1: Flame atomic absorption
spectrometry.
This Standard is part of a series which, when complete, will comprise:
