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).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)

4 Principle
Dissolution of a test portion in nitric and hydrochloric acids. Filtration and ignition of the acid insoluble
residue. Removal of silica with hydrofluoric acid.
Fusion of the residue with potassium hydrogen sulfate, dissolution of the melt with acid and addition of this
solution to the reserved filtrate. If necessary, addition of an internal standard element and dilution of the
solution to a known volume.
Nebulization of the solution into an ICP-OES spectrometer and measurement of the intensity of the emitted
light from each element simultaneously with the intensity of the light emitted by the internal standard
element.
5 Reagents
During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only
grade 2 water as specified in ISO 3696.
5.1 Pure iron, containing at least ten times less than the lower limit of the scope of each element to be
determined.
5.2 Potassium hydrogen sulfate (KHSO ) or potassium disulfate (K S O ).

5.3 Hydrochloric acid, ρ about 1,19 g/ml.
5.4 Nitric acid, ρ about 1,42 g/ml.
5.5 Nitric acid solution, ρ about 1,42 g/ml, diluted 1 + 1.
5.6 Hydrofluoric acid, ρ about 1,15 g/ml.
5.7 Sulfuric acid, ρ about 1,84 g/ml.
5.8 Sulfuric acid solution, ρ about 1,84 g/ml, diluted 1 + 3.
5.9 Manganese standard solution, 1 g/l.
Transfer several grams of electrolytic manganese (purity > 99,9 %) into a 250 ml beaker containing about
150 ml of sulphuric acid solution (ρ about 1,84 g/ml, diluted 5+95). Stir, then allow the manganese to settle
for several minutes. Decant and eliminate the sulphuric acid solution and substituting water. Wash several
times with water and finally with acetone. Dry the metal for about 2 min at 100 °C and cool in a desiccator.
Weigh, to the nearest 1 mg, 1,000 g of manganese as mentioned above. Transfer into a 250 ml beaker, add
40 ml of hydrochloric acid (5.3) and cover with a watch-glass. Heat gently to complete dissolution. Cool,
transfer the solution quantitatively into a 1 000 ml one-mark volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with water
and mix.
1 ml of this standard solution contains 1 mg of manganese.
5.10 Phosphorus standard solution, 1 g/l.
Weigh, to the nearest 0,1 mg, 4,393 6 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH PO ) previously dried to

constant mass at 110 °C and cooled in a desiccator.
Transfer into a 1 000 ml one-mark volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with water and mix.
1 ml of this standard solution contains 1 mg of phosphorus.
5.11 Chromium standard solution, 1 g/l.
Prepare a 1 g/l chromium standard solution by using one of the procedures described in a) or b).
a) Weigh, to the nearest 1 mg, 1,000 g of chromium [purity ≥ 99,9 % (mass fraction)]. Transfer into a 250 ml
beaker, add 40 ml of hydrochloric acid (5.3) and cover with a watch-glass. Heat gently to complete
dissolution. Cool, transfer the solution quantitatively into a 1 000 ml one-mark volumetric flask, dilute
to the mark with water and mix.
b) Weigh 2,828 4 g of potassium dichromate (K Cr O ), previously dried at 140 °C and allowed to cool in
2 2 7
a desiccator. Place in a 400 ml beaker and dissolve in about 20 ml of water. Add 5 ml of the sulfuric acid
(5.7) and, while cooling, cautiously add the hydrogen peroxide solution (to be added), adding an excess
of about 2 ml after effervescence has ceased. Allow the solution to stand at ambient temperature until
the yellow colour has completely disappeared (several hours), then transfer into a 1 000 ml one-mark
volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix well.
1 ml of this standard solution contains 1 mg of chromium.
5.12 Nickel standard solution, 1 g /l.
Weigh, to the nearest 1 mg, 1,000 g of nickel [purity ≥ 99,9 % (mass fraction)]. Transfer into a 250 ml beaker,
