ISO 18265: Determination of Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

As a leading laboratory testing service provider, Eurolab offers comprehensive ISO 18265 compliant testing for the determination of lead, cadmium, and mercury in various materials and products. This article serves as a complete guide to understanding the importance, requirements, and benefits of this laboratory test.

ISO 18265 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that outlines the methodology for determining lead, cadmium, and mercury in various materials and products. The standard provides guidelines for sampling, sample preparation, testing, and reporting of results.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 18265 is governed by various national and international regulations. For example:

  • In the European Union (EU), the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive restricts the use of lead, cadmium, and mercury in electrical and electronic equipment.

  • In the United States, the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) regulates the use of toxic substances, including lead, cadmium, and mercury.

  • The EUs General Product Safety Directive (GPSD) requires manufacturers to ensure that their products are safe for consumers.

    • International and National Standards

    The following international and national standards apply to ISO 18265:

  • ISO 18265:2018 - Determination of Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury

  • ASTM E1613-18 - Standard Practice for Sampling and Sample Preparation for the Determination of Leachable Copper from Solid Materials

  • EN 14106:2004 - Chemical analysis - Determination of lead, cadmium, and mercury in solid materials

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations (SDOs) play a crucial role in creating and maintaining international standards. Some notable SDOs include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to address new technologies, emerging risks, and changing regulatory requirements. Eurolab stays up-to-date with the latest standards developments to ensure that our clients receive the most accurate and reliable testing results.
