This study describes the determination of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn in a sample of city waste incinerator ash distributed in 1983 by the European Community Bureau for Reference Materials (sample BCR No. 176) for certification. The sample treatment and the analysis procedure are discussed. The results obtained are evaluated and compared with the values which were later certified. 8 references, 2 tables.
