IEC62321 is a series of determination standards made by IEC to test the restricted substances in RoHS2.0. It was firstly published in 2008 by OJ, and successively dismantled or revised respectively in 2013 and 2015. In order to coordinate the revised Directive (EU) 2015/863, the IEC newly released the determination methods of Cr6+ and phthalates in 28 March 2017（see red font in table）, and now the existing IEC62321 standards can be summarized as following:
The existing IEC62321 standards summary | |
Standard No. | Standard Title |
Introduction and overview | |
Disassembly, disjointment and mechanical sample preparation | |
IEC 62321-3-1:2013 | Screening – Lead, mercury, cadmium, total chromium and total bromine by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry |
Screening – Total bromine in polymers and electronics by Combustion – Ion Chromatography | |
Mercury in polymers, metals and electronics by CV-AAS, CV-AFS, ICP-OES and ICP-MS | |
Cadmium, lead and chromium in polymers and electronics and cadmium and lead In metals by AAS, AFS, ICP-OES and ICP-MS | |
Polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenylethers in polymers by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry | |
Presence of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in colorless and colored corrosion-protected coatings on metals by the colorimetric method | |
Determination of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in polymers and electronics by the colorimetric method | |
Phthalates in polymers by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using a pyrolyzer/thermal desorption accessory (Py -GC-MS) | |
Culture Notes：the European Union released the revised Directive (EU) 2015/863 to amending Annex II to Directive 2011/65/EU of RoHS2.0 in 4 June 2015. The directive adds the restriction of DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP to RoHS2.0, which shall apply to ordinary EEE from 22 July 2019 and to medicale quipment and monitoring equipment from 22 July 2021.
Warm prompt: the enterprises which have related products on sale should pay attention to the latest standards, especially to the control of phthalates, and had better to be prepared in advance.
