Determination of certain substances in electrotechnical products - Part 2: Disassembly, disjunction and mechanical sample preparation

EN-IEC 62321-2 provides strategies of sampling along with the mechanical preparation of samples from electrotechnical products, electronic assemblies and electronic components. These samples can be used for analytical testing to determine the levels of certain substances as described in the test methods in other parts of IEC 62321. Restrictions for substances will vary between geographic regions and from time to time. This Standard describes a generic process for obtaining and preparing samples prior to the determination of any substance which are under concern. This standard does not provide: - full guidance on each and every product that could be classified as electrotechnical equipment. Since there is a huge variety of electrotechnical components, with various structures and processes, along with the continuous innovations in the industry, it is unrealistic to attempt to provide procedures for the disjointment of every type of component; - guidance regarding other routes to gather additional information on certain substances in a product, although the information collected has relevance to the sampling strategies in this standard; - safe disassembly and mechanical disjointment instructions related to electrotechnical products (e.g. mercury-containing switches) and the recycling industry (e.g. how to handle CRTs or the safe removal of batteries). See IEC 62554 [2] for the disjointment and mechanial sample preparation of mercury-containing fluorescent lamps; - the definition of a “unit” as the sample; - sampling procedures for packaging and packaging materials; - analytical procedures to measure the levels of certain substances. This is covered by other standards (for example other parts of IEC 62321), which are referred to as the "test standard" in this standard; - guidelines for assessment of compliance.

Verfahren zur Bestimmung von bestimmten Substanzen in Produkten der Elektrotechnik - Teil 2: Demontage, Zerlegung und mechanische Probenvorbereitung

Détermination de certaines substances dans les produits électrotechniques - Partie 2: Démontage, désassemblage et préparation mécanique de l'échantillon

La CEI 62321-2:2013 fournit des stratégies d'échantillonnage ainsi que la préparation mécanique d'échantillons de produits électrotechniques, ensembles électroniques et composants électroniques. Ces échantillons peuvent être utilisés pour un essai analytique visant à déterminer les niveaux de certaines substances, comme décrit dans les méthodes d'essai des autres parties de la CEI 62321. Les restrictions concernant les substances varient selon les régions géographiques et de temps à autres. La présente norme décrit un processus général permettant d'obtenir et de préparer des échantillons avant de déterminer toute substance posant problème.

Določevanje posameznih snovi v elektrotehničnih izdelkih - 2. del: Razstavljanje, odklop in mehanska priprava vzorca (IEC 62321-2:2013)

Standard 62321-2 določa strategije vzorčenja skupaj z mehansko pripravo vzorcev iz elektrotehničnih izdelkov, elektronskih sklopov in elektronskih komponent. Ti vzorci se lahko uporabijo za analitično testiranje za določitev vsebnosti nekaterih snovi, kot je opisano v testnih metodah v drugih delih IEC 62321. Omejitve za snovi se razlikujejo med geografskimi regijami in od časa do časa. Ta standard opisuje splošen postopek za pridobitev in pripravo vzorcev pred določitvijo katere koli zadevne snovi. Ta standard ne ponuja: - popolnih smernic za vsak izdelek, ki ga je mogoče razvrstiti kot elektrotehnično opremo. Ker hkrati z nenehnimi industrijskimi inovacijami obstaja veliko različnih elektrotehničnih komponent z različnimi zgradbami in postopki, je nerealno, da bi poskušali zagotoviti postopke za razstavljanje vsakega tipa sestavnega dela pri stikališčih; – smernice glede drugih poti za zbiranje dodatnih informacij o nekaterih snoveh v proizvodu, čeprav so zbrane informacije pomembne za strategije vzorčenja v tem standardu; – varno razstavljanje in navodila za mehansko razstavljanje pri stikališčih, povezana z elektrotehničnimi izdelki (npr. stikala, ki vsebujejo živo srebro) in reciklažno industrijo (npr. kako ravnati z zasloni CRT ali varno odstraniti baterije). Glejte standard IEC 62554 [2] za razstavljanje pri stikališčih in pripravo mehanskih vzorcev fluorescenčnih sijalk, ki vsebujejo živo srebro; – opredelitev »enote« kot vzorca; – postopke vzorčenja za embalažo in embalažne materiale; – analitične postopke za merjenje ravni določenih snovi. To je zajeto v drugih standardih (na primer drugih delih IEC 62321), ki so navedeni kot »preskusni standard« v tem standardu; – smernice za oceno skladnosti.

DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN SUBSTANCES
IN ELECTROTECHNICAL PRODUCTS –

Part 2: Disassembly, disjointment and mechanical sample preparation


FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, 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 organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of 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 IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62321-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 111:
Environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems.
The first edition of IEC 62321:2008 was a 'stand-alone' standard that included an introduction,
an overview of test methods, a mechanical sample preparation as well as various test method
clauses.
This first edition of IEC 62321-2 is a partial replacement of IEC 62321:2008, forming a
structural revision and generally replacing Clause 5 and incorporating IEC/PAS 62596:2009
1
[1] which will be withdrawn upon publication of IEC 62321-2.

Future parts in the IEC 62321 series will gradually replace the corresponding clauses in
IEC 62321:2008. Until such time as all parts are published, however, IEC 62321:2008 remains
valid for those clauses not yet re-published as a separate part.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
111/301/FDIS 111/311/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62321 series can be found on the IEC website under the general
title: Determination of certain substances in electrotechnical products
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.

INTRODUCTION
The widespread use of electrotechnical products has drawn increased attention to their impact
on the environment. In many countries this has resulted in the adaptation of regulations
affecting wastes, substances and energy use of electrotechnical products.
The use of certain substances (e.g. lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs)) in electrotechnical products, is a source of concern in current and proposed
regional legislation.
The purpose of the IEC 62321 series is therefore to provide test methods that will allow the
electrotechnical industry to determine the levels of certain substances of concern in
electrotechnical products on a consistent global basis.
WARNING – Persons using this International Standard should be familiar with normal
laboratory practice. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
problems, 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 national
regulatory conditions.

DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN SUBSTANCES
IN ELECTROTECHNICAL PRODUCTS –

Part 2: Disassembly, disjointment and mechanical sample preparation



1 Scope
This part of IEC 62321 provides strategies of sampling along with the mechanical preparation
of samples from electrotechnical products, electronic assemblies and electronic components.
These samples can be used for analytical testing to determine the levels of certain
substances as described in the test methods in other parts of IEC 62321. Restrictions for
substances will vary between geographic regions and from time to time. This Standard
describes a generic process for obtaining and preparing samples prior to the determination of
any substance which are under concern.
This standard does not provide:
– full guidance on each and every product that could be classified as electrotechnical
equipment. Since there is a huge variety of electrotechnical components, with various
structures and processes, along with the continuous innovations in the industry, it is
unrealistic to attempt to provide procedures for the disjointment of every type of
component;
– guidance regarding other routes to gather additional information on certain substances in
a product, although the information collected has relevance to the sampling strategies in
this standard;
– safe disassembly and mechanical disjointment instructions related to electrotechnical
products (e.g. mercury-containing switches) and the recycling industry (e.g. how to handle
CRTs or the safe removal of batteries). See IEC 62554 [2] for the disjointment and
mechanial sample preparation of mercury-containing fluorescent lamps;
– the definition of a “unit” as the sample;
– sampling procedures for packaging and packaging materials;
– analytical procedures to measure the levels of certain substances. This is covered by
other standards (for example other parts of IEC 62321), which are referred to as the "test
standard" in this standard;
– guidelines for assessment of compliance.
NOTE Further guidance on assessment procedures is provided by IEC/TR 62476 [3].
