Photography — Photographic-grade chemicals — Test methods — Part 13: Determination of pH

ISO 10349-13:2002 specifies a general test method for the determination of pH of solutions of photographic-grade chemicals to within plus or minus 0,1 pH units. This method is not intended to monitor the pH of formulated solutions used directly in photographic processing, e.g. developers.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 10349 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 10349-13 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 42, Photography.
ISO 10349 consists of the following parts, under the general title Photography — Photographic-grade chemicals —
Test methods:
— Part 1: General
— Part 2: Determination of matter insoluble in water
— Part 3: Determination of matter insoluble in ammonium hydroxide solution
— Part 4: Determination of residue after ignition
— Part 5: Determination of heavy metals and iron content
— Part 6: Determination of halide content
— Part 7: Determination of alkalinity or acidity
— Part 8: Determination of volatile matter

Part 13:
Determination of pH
1 Scope
This part of ISO 10349 specifies a general test method for the determination of pH of solutions of photographic-grade
± 0,1 pH
chemicals to within units.
This method is not intended to monitor the pH of formulated solutions used directly in photographic processing, e.g.
developers.
2 Normative reference
The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this part of ISO 10349. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, this publication do not

2)
All glassware subject to heating shall be of heat-resistant borosilicate glass .
Pipettes and other volumetric glassware shall meet the requirements specified in ISO 10349-1.
6.1 pH meter, with resolution/accuracy of at least ± 0,01 pH units.
6.2 Electrodes, pH glass electrode with a range of 0 to 14; an accuracy of ± 0,02 pH units minimum; a sodium
error of ± 0,05 pH units minimum; and a suitable reference electrode with appropriate filling solutions.
The choice of the reference electrode can be critical to the application and shall be chosen accordingly.
For routine measurements of solutions with a pH value greater than 10, a sodium-corrected electrode is strongly
recommended.
