scope:

This part of IEC 62321 specifies the screening analysis of fluorine, chlorine and bromine in polymers and electronics using combustion-ion chromatography (C-IC). A C-IC screening analysis procedure for iodine can be found in Annex D.

This test method has been evaluated for ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), EMC (epoxy moulding compound), PE (polyethylene) and PC (polycarbonate) within the concentration ranges as specified in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3. (Detailed results are shown in Table E.1 to Table E.6, and in Annex F (Table F.1 and Table F.2).

The use of this method for other types of materials or concentration ranges outside those specified below has not been evaluated.

This horizontal standard is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108.

One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of horizontal standards in the preparation of its publications. The contents of this horizontal standard will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.
