What is BS EN IEC 62321‑9 about?
BS EN IEC 62321‑9 is part nine of the multi-series standard that specifies two techniques for the determination of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) in polymers of electrotechnical products.
These test methods in BS EN IEC 62321‑9 have been evaluated for use with EPS (expanded polystyrene foam), XPS (extruded polystyrene foam) and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) within the concentration ranges as specified in Table 1
Who is BS EN IEC 62321‑9 for?
BS EN IEC 62321‑9 on hexabromocyclododecane in polymers by chromatography-mass spectrometry is applicable to:
- Electrotechnical industry
- Chemical laboratories
- Chemical and environmental scientists
- Environmental regulatory bodies
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62321‑9?
The widespread use of electrotechnical products has drawn increased attention to their impact on the environment. In many countries this has resulted in the adoption of regulations affecting wastes, substances and energy use of electrotechnical products.
The use of certain substances (e.g., lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in electrotechnical products are a source of concern in current and proposed regional legislation.
The purpose of BS EN IEC 62321‑9 is to provide test methods that will allow the electrotechnical industry to determine the levels of certain substances of concern in electrotechnical products on a consistent global basis.
Methods specified in BS EN IEC 62321‑9 helps you in calculation of HBCDD concentration.
BS EN IEC 62321‑9 provides quality assurance and control guidelines for the test that will allow you to conduct the test with accuracy and safety
