IEC 62321 Electrotechnical Products - Determination of Levels of Six Regulated Substances

IEC 62321 standard, lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in inorganic and organic compounds and brominated flame retardants in two types of electrotechnical products, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated It covers the determination of the levels of six substances as diphenyl ethers (PBDE).

IEC 62321 Electrotechnical Products - Determination of Levels of Six Regulated Substances

This standard refers to the sample as the object to be processed and measured. The nature of the sample and the way it was obtained are defined by the organization performing the tests, not by this standard.

Further guidance on obtaining representative samples of finished electronic products to be tested for levels of regulated substances can be found in the future IEC Public Specification (PAS) for sample separation.

It is stated that sample selection can affect the interpretation of test results. This standard does not specify:

  • Definition of a "unit" or "homogeneous material" as a sample;
  • The disassembly procedure used to take the sample;
  • Evaluation procedures (More guidance on evaluation procedures can be found in the future IEC Technical Specification IEC/TS 62476-1-2.)

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

The use of some substances such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in inorganic and organic compounds, and two types of brominated flame retardants, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl in electrotechnical products. ethers (PBDE) are regulated in current and proposed regional legislation.

The purpose of IEC 62321 is therefore to provide test methods that will allow the electrotechnical industry to consistently determine the levels of PBB and PBDE in electrotechnical products as well as regulated substances Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr(VI) and their compounds.

Our organization provides testing services for IEC 62321 Electrotechnical Products - Determination of the Levels of Regulated Six Substances, within the framework of national and international standards, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies.
