ISO 11885 ICP-OES Determination of Metals Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

ISO 11885 is a widely recognized international standard for the Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) determination of metals. This standard specifies the requirements for the testing of metallic elements in various matrices, including environmental and industrial samples.

The ISO 11885 standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a non-governmental organization that develops and publishes international standards. The standard has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 1996, with the latest version being ISO 11885:2017.

In addition to ISO 11885, other relevant standards that govern ICP-OES determination of metals include:

  • ASTM E2645-15: Standard Practice for Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) Determination of Metals

  • EN 15763:2009A1:2016: Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) Determination of metals in various matrices

  • TSE ISO 11885:2017: Çalıntıya Karşı Korumak İçin Metallerin Belirtilmesi için İndüktif Koplend Plazma Optik Emisyon Spektroskopi (ICP-OES)

    • The standard development organizations involved in the creation and maintenance of these standards include ISO, ASTM International, European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and Turkish Standards Institution (TSE).

    Standards evolve through a continuous process of revision and update to reflect advances in technology, changes in regulatory requirements, and improvements in testing methods. The frequency of revisions varies depending on the standard, but it is essential for laboratories to stay up-to-date with the latest versions to ensure compliance.

    The ICP-OES determination of metals is a critical testing service required by various industries, including environmental monitoring, industrial hygiene, and quality control. The test is necessary to ensure the accuracy and reliability of results, which are used for regulatory compliance, product safety, and customer confidence.

    Conducting ISO 11885 ICP-OES Determination of Metals testing is essential for several reasons:

  • Regulatory Compliance: Laboratories must comply with regulations such as CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) and REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) to ensure the safe handling and use of chemicals.

  • Product Safety: Accurate metal content determination is critical for product safety, as excessive levels can lead to toxicity and other hazards.

    • The industries and sectors that require this testing include:

  • Environmental monitoring

  • Industrial hygiene

  • Quality control

  • Research and development

    • Risk factors associated with not performing this test include:

  • Inaccurate or unreliable results

  • Regulatory non-compliance

  • Product safety issues

  • Customer dissatisfaction and loss of business

    • The ICP-OES determination of metals is a complex testing service that requires specialized equipment, trained personnel, and quality control measures. The following sections provide an overview of the test conditions and methodology:

    1. Equipment: Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) instrument

    2. Sample Preparation: Digestion or dissolution of the sample using a suitable acid mixture

    3. Testing Parameters: Wavelength, plasma gas flow rate, auxiliary gas flow rate, and nebulizer gas flow rate

    4. Measurement and Analysis Methods: Integration of the peak area for each element

    5. Calibration and Validation Procedures: Use of certified reference materials (CRMs) and internal standards

    The quality control measures during testing include:

  • Quality Control Samples: Running blanks and CRMs to monitor instrument performance and accuracy

  • Instrument Calibration: Regular calibration using CRMs to ensure instrument stability and accuracy

  • Data Collection and Recording: Accurate recording of results, including peak areas, wavelengths, and other relevant data

    • The sample size requirements and statistical considerations include:

  • Sample Size: Minimum sample size of 1 g for most metals

  • Statistical Considerations: Calculation of the standard deviation and confidence interval to determine the precision and accuracy of the results.

    • Test results are documented and reported in accordance with the relevant standards, including ISO 11885. The report format and structure include:

    1. Report Header: Date, test ID, sample description, and analytical method

    2. Sample Information: Sample ID, matrix, and sampling location

    3. Results Section: Concentration of each element, along with the measurement uncertainty

    4. Certification Statement: Declaration that the results meet the requirements of ISO 11885

    The certification statement includes a declaration that the laboratory is competent to perform the testing and that the results are accurate and reliable.
