ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

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

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 685:1975), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— “liquid soaps” has been added in the Scope;
— the sentence “This method for the determination of total alkali is not applicable to coloured soaps if
the colour interferes with the methyl orange end-point.” has been deleted from the Scope;
— in 8.3.1, “until there is an excess of about 5 ml” has been changed to “until there is an excess of
about 10 ml”;
— in 8.3.1, “Repeat the shaking until the aqueous layer has become clear” has been changed to “Repeat
the shaking until the water phase is clearly separated from the organic phase (if the two-phase layer
is not obvious, the emulsification can be broken by adding ethanol that does not exceed the volume
of the water phase)”;
— in 8.3.2, the sentence “If the soap colour interferes with the methyl orange end-point, a pH meter can
be used to indicate the end point (pH value 3,1 to 4.4, maintain 10 s) during titration.” has been added.

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes
nationaux de normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est
en général confiée aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude
a le droit de faire partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales,
gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux.
L'ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission électrotechnique internationale (IEC) en ce qui
concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les procédures utilisées pour élaborer le présent document et celles destinées à sa mise à jour sont
décrites dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 1. Il convient, en particulier, de prendre note des différents
critères d'approbation requis pour les différents types de documents ISO. Le présent document a été
rédigé conformément aux règles de rédaction données dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2 (voir www
.iso .org/ directives).
L'attention est attirée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable
de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence. Les détails concernant
les références aux droits de propriété intellectuelle ou autres droits analogues identifiés lors de
l'élaboration du document sont indiqués dans l'Introduction et/ou dans la liste des déclarations de
brevets reçues par l'ISO (voir www .iso .org/ brevets).
Les appellations commerciales éventuellement mentionnées dans le présent document sont données
pour information, par souci de commodité, à l’intention des utilisateurs et ne sauraient constituer un
engagement.
Pour une explication de la nature volontaire des normes, la signification des termes et expressions
spécifiques de l'ISO liés à l'évaluation de la conformité, ou pour toute information au sujet de l'adhésion
de l'ISO aux principes de l’Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC) concernant les obstacles
techniques au commerce (OTC), voir www .iso .org/ avant -propos.
Le présent document a été élaboré par le comité technique ISO/TC 91, Agents de surface.
Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition (ISO 685:1975), qui a fait l’objet d’une
révision technique.
Les principales modifications par rapport à l’édition précédente sont les suivantes:
— les «savons liquides» ont été ajoutés au domaine d’application;
— la phrase «La méthode de détermination de la teneur en alcali total n’est pas applicable aux savons
colorés si la couleur gêne l’appréciation du virage du méthylorange» a été supprimée du domaine
d’application;
— en 8.3.1, «jusqu’à l’obtention d’un excès de 5 ml environ» a été remplacé par «jusqu’à l’obtention d’un
excès de 10 ml environ»;
— en 8.3.1, «Continuer à agiter jusqu’à ce que la couche aqueuse devienne claire» a été remplacé par
«Reprendre l’agitation jusqu’à ce que la phase aqueuse soit nettement séparée de la phase organique
(si la séparation entre les deux phases n’est pas complète (claire limpide), l’émulsion peut être
rompue en ajoutant de l’éthanol dans des proportions qui ne dépassent pas le volume de la phase
aqueuse)»;
— en 8.3.2, la phrase «Si la couleur du savon gêne l’appréciation du virage du méthylorange, un pH-
mètre peut être utilisé pour indiquer le virage (valeur du pH comprise entre 3,1 et 4,4, maintenue
pendant 10 s) pendant le titrage» a été ajoutée.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 685:1975), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— Added liquid soaps in scope;
— Deleted “This method for the determination of total alkali is not applicable to coloured soaps if the
colour interferes with the methyl orange end-point.” in scope;
— In 8.2 determination, “until there is an excess of about 5 ml” was changed to “until there is an excess
of about 10 ml” ;
— In 8.2 determination, “Repeat the shaking until the aqueous layer has become clear” was changed
to “Repeated shaking until the water phase is clearly separated from the organic phase (If the two-
phase layer is not obvious, the emulsification can be broken by adding ethanol that does not exceed
the volume of the water phase)” ;
— In 8.2.1 Determination of total alkali content, added the sentence “If the soap colour interferes with
the methyl orange end-point, the pH meter can be used to indicate the end point (pH value 3.1~4.4,
maintain 10s) during titration”.
