Comprehensive Guide to IEC 62321-3-2 Lead Determination by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry Testing Services

IEC 62321-3-2 is a standardized method for determining the lead content in products using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). This testing service is governed by various international and national standards, including ISO, ASTM, EN, TSE, and others. In this section, we will delve into the legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service, detail the international and national standards that apply, and explain how standards evolve and get updated.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The use of lead in products is regulated by various laws and regulations globally. The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive, which applies to electrical and electronic equipment, restricts the use of lead in certain applications. Similarly, the EUs Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires manufacturers to ensure that their products meet specific environmental standards.

International Standards

  • ISO 14024:2018 specifies the requirements for environmental labels and declarations.

  • ASTM E2629-15 sets the standard for ICP-OES analysis of lead in materials.

  • EN 14318:2004 defines the methods for determining the lead content in products using ICP-OES.

    • National Standards

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) 1231:2013 specifies the requirements for ICP-OES analysis of lead in materials.

  • CNS 14745:2015 sets the standard for ICP-OES analysis of lead in materials in Taiwan.

    • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    Standard development organizations, such as ISO, ASTM, and EN, play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining standards. These organizations bring together experts from various industries to develop and update standards through a consensus-driven process.

    Why Standards Evolve and Get Updated

    Standards are periodically reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or industry practices. This ensures that testing services remain relevant and effective in ensuring product safety and compliance with regulations.

    Standard Numbers and Their Scope
