I am sorry. I am just confused in this regard. I will tell Dr. Murphy why. In 2002, EN 12620 had a special precaution for pyrrhotite, an unstable iron sulphide mineral. If the mineral is known to be present, then a maximum sulphur content of 0.1% shall apply. I wonder why this was not a red flag in terms of who made the decision around just testing for pyrite.
