IEC 62321-8 Screening for Brominated Flame Retardants in Plastics: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

IEC 62321-8 is a standard that governs the screening of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in plastics. This standard is part of the IEC 62321 series, which covers various aspects of chemical analysis in plastics. The standard is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is widely recognized as a benchmark for testing BFRs in plastics.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding IEC 62321-8 Screening for Brominated Flame Retardants in Plastics is governed by various national and international regulations. In the European Union, for example, the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive restricts the use of BFRs in electronic and electrical equipment. The WEEE Directive also regulates the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment.

International and National Standards

IEC 62321-8 is an international standard that applies to various industries, including electronics, textiles, and plastics. Some national standards that are based on IEC 62321-8 include:

  • EN 15757 (European Standard for Screening of BFRs in Plastics)

  • ASTM D6492 (American Society for Testing and Materials standard for Screening of BFRs in Plastics)

  • TSE ISO/IEC 17025 (Turkish Standard for Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development of IEC 62321-8 is overseen by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Technical Committee 108 (TC 108), which is responsible for standards related to chemical analysis in plastics.
