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

Introduction
In producing epoxy resin based on epichlorohydrin, impurities containing 1,2-glycol may be formed.
Owing to the hydrophilic characteristics of 1,2-glycol, it is necessary to control the level of these
impurities, since they could affect final properties such as electrical insulation. Additionally, these
impurities could affect the speed of the curing reaction when using curing agents such as amines and
acid anhydrides. Therefore, it is important to determine the 1,2-glycol content in epoxy resins for both
resin manufacture and customer use.

SAFETY STATEMENT — Persons using this document should be familiar with normal laboratory
practice, if applicable. This document does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if
any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and to ensure compliance with any regulatory requirements.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the 1,2-glycol content in epoxy
resins.
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 5725-2, Accuracy (trueness and precision) of measurement methods and results — Part 2: Basic method
for the determination of repeatability and reproducibility of a standard measurement method
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
1,2-glycol
the 1,2-glycol group [-CH(OH)CH OH] in epoxy resins, the content of which is expressed in moles per
kilogram of the epoxy resin
Note 1 to entry: This moiety is chemically equivalent to two OH groups.
Note 2 to entry: Other possible nomenclatures are vicinal-OH group, 1,2-dihydroxyl group, α-glycol group.
4 Principle
1,2-glycol is determined on the basis of the following reactions.
1,2-glycol is oxidized to aldehyde compounds by an excess of orthoperiodic acid (reaction 1), then
potassium iodide is added to the reaction mixture in the presence of sulfuric acid (reaction 2). The
generated iodine is then titrated by standardized sodium thiosulfate solution (reaction 3). The 1,2-glycol
