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

cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 2171:2007), which has been technically
revised. The main changes are as follows:
— the Scope has been updated;
— silica gel has been added as a desiccant (5.2);
— the use of platinum dishes and a temperature of incineration of 900 °C for the flour analysis has
replaced a choice of a temperature between 900 °C and 550 °C (see Table 1);
— the interlaboratory critical difference (C ) has been updated in 11.4.2.

6 Apparatus
6.1 Grinding mill, easy to clean and having as little dead space as possible, and ensuring rapid,
uniform grinding.
6.2 Ashing dish, of capacity not less than 20 ml, rectangular or round shape, flat-bottomed and having

a surface area of not less than 12 cm . Suitable materials for the ashing dish which do not deteriorate
under test conditions at the temperature of operation are:
a) at 900 °C — platinum rhodium;
b) at 550 °C — quartz or silica.
In both cases, the material used shall allow compliance with the precision values.
The dishes shall be cleaned by complete immersion for at least 1 h in aqueous hydrochloric acid (5.1),
then rinsed with running water and then with distilled water.
After rinsing, the quartz or silica dishes shall be dried in an oven (6.7) at a temperature and for a period
sufficient to eliminate water.
6.3 Electrically heated muffle furnace, provided with a refractory coating, with a control system,
capable of reaching and maintaining the temperatures of (900 ± 25) °C or at (550 ± 10) °C.
It is recommended to check the thermal geography of the oven by filling it with capsules containing a
control sample in order to determine its degree of possible filling.
When the combustion is done inside the furnace, case of the ashing at 550°C by rise of the temperature,
it is recommended to carry out a sweeping of the chimney of the oven, which clogs more quickly.
6.4 Vacuum desiccator, equipped with a perforated aluminium or porcelain plate, and diphosphorus
