EN 12472:2005 (E) 3 Foreword This European Standard (EN 12472:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 283 “Precious metals - Applications in jewellery and associated products”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2006. This European Standard supersedes EN 12472:1998. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
EN 12472:2005 (E) 4 Introduction The wear of objects in contact with the skin depends very much on the type and shape of the objects and the activities of the person concerned.
This procedure attempts to simulate the wear and corrosion on a coated article during two years of normal use.
By its nature this is a pragmatic solution to the problems posed by the evaluation of coated items in contact with the skin, which may be subject to several kinds and varying degrees of wear. In order to show compliance with Directive 94/27/EC, items should be tested in accordance with the appropriate European harmonised standard(s), the references of which have been published by the European Commission in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Currently, these are EN 1810, EN 1811 and this European Standard.
EN 12472:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for accelerated wear and corrosion, to be used prior to the detection of nickel release from coated items that come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 1811, Reference test method for release of nickel from products intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin 3 Principle The items to be tested are exposed to a corrosive atmosphere before being placed into a tumbling barrel together with a wear medium of abrasive paste and granules.
The barrel is rotated so as to subject the test pieces to wear from the wear medium.
The items are then tested for nickel release in accordance with EN 1811. 4 Reagents and materials Except where indicated, all reagents and materials that can come into contact with samples or reagents shall be demonstrably free of nickel, and all reagents shall be of recognized analytical grade or better. 4.1 Corrosion 4.1.1 Container Container with a lid and a device for suspending the test pieces, all parts made of inert material (e.g. glass or plastic).
EN 12472:2005 (E) 6 4.1.2 Corrosive medium Dissolve 50 g DL-lactic acid, > 85 % purity, and 100 g sodium chloride in 1 000 ml de-ionized water. 4.1.3 Degreasing solution An appropriately diluted, neutral, commercially available detergent shall be used, for example, a 0,5 % aqueous solution of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate. 4.1.4 De-ionized water De-ionized water, specific conductivity maximum 1 µS/cm. 4.1.5 Laboratory oven Laboratory oven, capable of maintaining a temperature of (50 ± 2) °C. 4.2 Wear 4.2.1 Tumbling barrel and retaining assembly The tumbling barrel and retaining assembly shall be in accordance with the following description: barrel of hexagonal cross-section and internal diameter of 19 cm perpendicular distance between opposite sides designed to rotate around its axis which is orientated horizontally (see Figure 1); retaining assembly, suitable for attaching the test items so that they do not come into contact with each other during tumbling; retaining assembly, with items attached, shall be inserted into the barrel for tumbling. NOTE Examples are given in Annex A of retaining assemblies suitable for attaching typical items.
