20、tandard is a part of ISO3856, Paints and varnishes Determination of “soluble” metal content. 1 Scope and field of application This part of ISO3856 describes two methods for the determination of the cadmium content of the test solutions prepared according to ISO6713 or other suitable International St
21、andards. The methods are applicable to paints having “soluble” cadmium contents in the range of about0,05 to 5% (m/m). The flame atomic absorption spectrometric method (AAS) (clause3) should be used as the referee method in cases of dispute. Other methods can be used by agreement between the interes
22、ted parties. A polarographic method is given in clause4. 2 References ISO 385-1, Laboratory glassware Burettes Part1: General requirements 1) . ISO 648, Laboratory glassware One-mark pipettes.
