1 When using ASTM D6348-12 (Reapproved 2020) the test plan preparation and implementation in the Annexes to ASTM D6348-12 (Reapproved 2020), annexes A1 through A8 are mandatory. In ASTM D6348-12 (Reapproved 2020) Annex A5 (Analyte Spiking Technique), the percent (%) R must be determined for each target analyte (Equation A5.5). In order for the test data to be acceptable for a compound, %R must be 70% ≥ R ≤ 130%. If the %R value does not meet this criterion for a target compound, the test data is not acceptable for that compound and the test must be repeated for that analyte (i.e., the sampling and/or analytical procedure should be adjusted before a retest). The %R value for each compound must be reported in the test report, and all field measurements must be corrected with the calculated %R value for that compound according to: Reported Results = ((Measured Concentration in Stack))/(%R) × 100.
