ASTM D6829 Determination of Halogens in Electronics: A Comprehensive Guide to Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The determination of halogens in electronics is a critical aspect of ensuring the safety, reliability, and compliance of electronic products. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has established a standard, ASTM D6829, which outlines the methods for determining the presence and concentration of halogens in electronic materials.

Relevant Standards:

  • ISO 11885:2007 - Water quality -- Determination of dissolved anions by ion chromatography
  • EN 13612:2014 - Electrical installations in buildings. Protection against thermal effects due to fires
  • TSE-EN 50126:2015 - Railway applications - Safety related electronic systems for signaling
  • Legal and Regulatory Framework:

    The determination of halogens in electronics is governed by various national and international regulations, including:

  • RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive 2011/65/EU
  • WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive 2012/19/EU
  • IEC 62321:2005 - Determination of halogens in electrical and electronic products
  • International and National Standards:

    The following standards apply to the determination of halogens in electronics:

  • ASTM D6829-14 (Reapproved 2019): Standard Test Method for Determination of Halogens in Electronics
  • ISO 11885:2007 - Water quality -- Determination of dissolved anions by ion chromatography
  • Standard Development Organizations:

    The development and maintenance of standards are overseen by various organizations, including:

  • ASTM International (American Society for Testing and Materials)
  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
  • IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)
  • Evolution of Standards:

    Standards evolve through a process of revision, update, or new development. This ensures that the standards remain relevant, effective, and aligned with changing regulatory requirements.

    Standard Numbers and Scope:

    The following standard numbers and their scopes are relevant to the determination of halogens in electronics:

  • ASTM D6829-14 (Reapproved 2019): Standard Test Method for Determination of Halogens in Electronics
  • Scope: This test method covers the determination of halogens (chlorine, bromine, iodine, fluorine) in electronic materials.

  • ISO 11885:2007 - Water quality -- Determination of dissolved anions by ion chromatography
  • Scope: This standard specifies a method for determining dissolved anions in water.

    Standard Compliance Requirements:

    Different industries have varying compliance requirements for the determination of halogens in electronics. For example:

  • Automotive industry: IEC 62321:2005 - Determination of halogens in electrical and electronic products
  • Electronics industry: ASTM D6829-14 (Reapproved 2019) - Standard Test Method for Determination of Halogens in Electronics
  • Standard-Related Information Conclusion:

    The determination of halogens in electronics is a critical aspect of ensuring product safety, reliability, and compliance. The relevant standards, including ASTM D6829, provide a framework for testing and evaluation.
