Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 21613:2015(E)
(U, Pu)O2 Powders and sintered pellets — Determination
of chlorine and fluorine
1 Scope
This International Standard describes a method for determining chlorine and fluorine in mixed (U,Pu)
−1
O powders and sintered pellets. It is applicable for the analysis of samples containing 5 µg.g to 50 µg.
2
−1 −1 −1
g of chlorine and 2 µg.g to 50 µg.g of fluorine.
For UO powder and sintered pellets, refer to ISO 22875.

2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use — Specification and test methods
ISO 22875, Nuclear energy — Determination of chlorine and fluorine in uranium dioxide powder and
sintered pellets
ISO 9892, Uranium metal, uranium dioxide powder and pellets, and uranyl nitrate solutions — Determination
of fluorine content — Fluoride ion selective electrode method
3 Principle
The samples are pyrohydrolyzed at 850 °C – 1 000 °C in a tubular furnace with steam or moist oxygen.
Chlorine and fluorine are trapped as halogenated acids and entrained in an aqueous solution. Chloride
and fluoride ions are measured using selective electrodes or another appropriate method, for instance,
ionic chromatography.
4 Reagents
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade.
4.1 Demineralised water, complying with at least grade 1 in accordance with ISO 3696 is recommended.
4.2 Anhydrous sodium chloride (NaCl), analytical grade.
4.3 Anhydrous sodium fluoride (NaF), analytical grade.
4.4 Concentrated sodium hydroxide solution, w(NaOH) = 32 %, relative density approximately
−1
1,35 g.ml .
Concentrated sodium hydroxide solution (4.4) is used to prepare sodium hydroxide solutions (4.4.1,
4.4.2, and 4.4.3). Concentrations of solutions (4.4.1, 4.4.2, and 4.4.3) are examples of reference solutions
that are acceptable for use.
−1
4.4.1 Sodium hydroxide solution, c(NaOH) = 5 mol.l .
This reagent can also be prepared by using solid sodium hydroxide in various ways.

For example, the procedure can be as follows.
Pour 460 ml of concentrated sodium hydroxide solution (4.4) into 1 000 ml volumetric flask, dilute to the
mark using demineralised water (4.1), and mix.
This reagent can also be prepared by dissolving solid sodium hydroxide (4.5) in solution using
demineralised water (4.1).
−1
4.4.2 Sodium hydroxide solution, c(NaOH) = 0,5 mol.l .
Pour 46 ml of concentrated sodium hydroxide solution (4.4) into 1 000 ml volumetric flask, dilute to the
mark using demineralised water (4.1), and mix.
−1
4.4.3 Sodium hydroxide solution, c(NaOH) = 0,05 mol.l .
−1
Pour 100 ml of 0,5 mol/l sodium hydroxide (4.4.2) into 1 000 ml volumetric flask, dilute to the mark
using demineralised water (4.1), and mix.
−4 −1
4.4.4 Sodium hydroxide solution, c(NaOH) = 10 mol.l (or pH 10).
The concentration of solution (4.4.4) is an example of a receiver solution that can be used for a
measurement by chromatography.
4.5 Anhydrous sodium hydroxide (NaOH), granules.
−1
4.6 Glacial acetic acid, (CH COOH), relative density approximately 1,06 g.ml .
3
4.7 Sodium acetate, (CH COONa) analytical grade.
3
4.8 Buffer solution.
Using the following buffer solution is recommended in order to ensure that the absorbing solution
remains alkaline. An example of the procedure to prepare the buffer solution is as follows.
Pour 15 ml of acetic acid (4.6) into 1 000 ml polyethylene volumetric flask and dissolve 50 g of sodium
acetate (4.7). Adjust the solution volume to about 900 ml with demineralised water (4.1). Adjust the pH
−1
to 5,3 with the 5 mol.l sodium hydroxide solution (4.4.1), for example, then dilute to the mark using
demineralised water (4.1) and mix.
pH adjustment can be performed with a different sodium hydroxide solution concentration.
Another reagent such as NaOH solution with phenolphthalein can also be used.
4.9 Chloride reference solution.
- −1
4.9.1 Primary chloride reference solution, c(Cl ) = 0,5 g.l .
Dissolve 166 mg of dry anhydrous sodium chloride (4.2) in demineralised water (4.1). Pour into a 200 ml
volumetric flask, then dilute to the mark using demineralised water (4.1) and mix.
Primary chloride reference solution (4.9.1) is used to prepare chloride reference solutions (4.9.2, 4.9.3,
4.9.4, 4.9.5, and 4.9.6). Concentrations of solutions (4.9.2, 4.9.3, 4.9.4, and 4.9.5) are examples of reference
solutions that can be used for calibration of selective electrodes. Exact concentrations of calibration
solutions should be determined by the user based upon the expected concentration of analyte in the
NaOH buffer solution.
