  • CV-AAS (cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry),
  • CV-AFS (cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry),
  • ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry) and
  • ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry).

The widespread use of electrotechnical products has drawn more attention to their impact on the environment. In many countries this has resulted in the adoption of regulations affecting the waste, materials and energy use of electrotechnical products.

The use of certain substances (eg lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)) in electrotechnical products is a concern in current and proposed regional legislation.

The purpose of the EN 62321 series is therefore to provide test methods that will allow the electrotechnical industry to determine the levels of certain substances in electrotechnical products on a consistent global basis.

Persons using this International Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This standard does not purport to address all safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the user's responsibility to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory requirements.

To prepare a mercury sample in fluorescent lamps, the instructions given in EN 62554 must be followed.
