EN 62321-1:2013

Determination of certain substances in electrotechnical products - Part 1: Introduction and overview

IEC 62321-1:2013 refers to the sample as the object to be processed and measured. The nature of the sample and the manner in which it is acquired is defined by the entity carrying out the tests and not by this standard. It provides guidance on the disassembly procedure employed for obtaining a sample. This first edition of IEC 62321-1 is a partial replacement of IEC 62321, forming a structural revision and replacing Clauses 1 to 4.

Détermination de certaines substances dans les produits électrotechniques - Partie 1: Introduction et présentation

La CEI 62321-1:2013 fait référence à l'échantillon comme étant l'objet à traiter et à mesurer. L'entité qui réalise les essais définit la nature de l'échantillon et la manière de l'obtenir, et non la présente norme. Elle donne des directives concernant le mode opératoire de démontage utilisé pour obtenir un échantillon. Cette première édition de la CEI 62321-1 remplace en partie la CEI 62321:2008, faisant une révision structurelle et replaçant, en général, les Articles 1 à 4.

Določevanje posameznih snovi v elektrotehničnih izdelkih - 1. del: Uvod in pregled

Ta del standarda IEC 62321 se nanaša na vzorec predmeta, ki se obdela in meri. Naravo vzorca in način, na katerega se pridobi, opredeli izvajalec preskusov in nista opredeljena v tem standardu. Opozoriti je treba, da lahko izbira vzorca vpliva na razlago rezultatov preskusa. Ta standard vsebuje navodila za postopek razstavljanja, ki se uporablja za pridobivanje vzorca, vendar ne določa ali opredeljuje:
• stopnje postopka razstavljanja, potrebnega za pridobivanje vzorca;
• opredelitve »enote« ali »homogenega materiala« kot vzorca;
• postopkov ugotavljanja skladnosti.
OPOMBA: Dodatna navodila za postopke ugotavljanja so na voljo v standardu IEC/TR 62476 [2].

DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN SUBSTANCES
IN ELECTROTECHNICAL PRODUCTS –

Part 1: Introduction and overview

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62321-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 111:
Environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems.
The first edition of IEC 62321:2008 was a 'stand-alone' standard that included an introduction,
an overview of test methods, a mechanical sample preparation as well as various test method
clauses.
This first edition of IEC 62321-1 is a partial replacement of IEC 62321, forming a structural
revision and replacing Clauses 1 to 4.
Future parts in the IEC 62321 series will gradually replace the corresponding clauses from
IEC 62321:2008. Until such time as all parts are published, however, IEC 62321:2008 remains
valid for those clauses not yet re-published as a separate part.

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
