Abstract	The Technical Committee 292 of CEN with its eight working groups elaborated till now more than sixty standards and Technical Specifications or State of the Art documents for the characterization of waste. The different standards should be used in a coherent and coordinated way; therefore a testing programme defining minimum requirements, objective, sampling, parameters and methods has to be designed before starting with concrete work. To reach the objectives of a testing programme, methods of sampling need to be selected or designed, that ensure availability of representative samples. For this purpose a sampling plan according to EN 14899 has to be developed, where details of the planned sampling process are defined. Sub-sampling in laboratory has to be applied in a way, that the different test portions are representative for the original laboratory sample with respect to the compounds of interest and the specific analytical procedures. The representativity of the laboratory sample and of the test portions is of major importance to guarantee the quality and accuracy of analytical results. Standards for analysis of waste samples are applicable to almost all steps involved with waste characterization. According to the objective of the testing programme different analytical methods have to be used. A draft umbrella standard defines seven different steps of the testing programme and gives help for using the right standards for the parameters to be analyzed.
