Electrotechnical products - Determination of levels of six regulated substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers)
IEC 62321, which is an International Standard, specifies the determination of the levels of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) contained in inorganic and organic compounds, and two types of brominated flame retardants, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) contained in electrotechnical products. This standard 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.

Produits électrotechniques - Détermination des niveaux en six substances réglementées (plomb, mercure, cadmium, chrome hexavalent, diphényles polybromes, diphényléthers polybromes)
La CEI 62321:2008, qui est une Norme internationale, spécifie la détermination des niveaux de plomb (Pb), de mercure (Hg), de cadmium (Cd), de chrome hexavalent (Cr(VI)) contenus dans des composés inorganiques et organiques, ainsi que de deux types de retardateurs de flammes bromés, diphényles polybromés (PBB) et diphényles éthers polybromés (PBDE) contenus dans les produits électrotechniques. Cette norme 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 pas la présente norme. Elle a le statut de norme horizontale conformément au Guide 108.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organisation for standardisation comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardisation in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the 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 organisations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates
closely with the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined
by agreement between the two organisations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the 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
