Zinc and zinc alloys - Part 2: Analysis by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ISO 3815-2:2005)

ISO 3815-2:2005 specifies analytical methods for determining the chemical composition of zinc and zinc alloys in accordance with ISO 301 and ISO 752 by inductively coupled optical emission spectrometry.

Overview

SIST EN ISO 3815-2:2005 is an international standard developed by CEN and ISO that provides detailed analytical methods for the chemical composition analysis of zinc and zinc alloys. It specifically focuses on the use of Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) as the technique for precise elemental determination. The standard complements related ISO standards such as ISO 301 and ISO 752, which cover zinc alloys and zinc ingots specifications. SIST EN ISO 3815-2:2005 ensures consistent, reliable, and accurate analysis essential for quality control and compliance in the zinc industry.

Key Topics

• ICP-OES Analytical Method
  This standard describes the preparation of test and calibration solutions followed by the determination of zinc and alloying elements using ICP-OES. ICP-OES uses a plasma source to excite sample atoms and measures emitted characteristic light wavelengths to quantify elemental concentrations.

• Sample Preparation
  Test samples are dissolved using a mixture of nitric and tartaric acids or alternatively a hydrochloric and nitric acid mixture, with precise protocols to ensure complete dissolution without interference.

• Calibration and Calibration Solutions
  The document specifies calibration procedures to establish accurate readings for alloying and impurity elements, emphasizing internal standardization, background correction, and validation using certified reference materials (CRMs).

• Detection and Quantification Ranges
  The standard allows flexibility to extend and adapt the applicable concentration ranges, supporting detection of trace elements such as nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), and titanium (Ti), while warning about instrument-specific factors like interferences and sensitivity.

• Analytical Lines and Wavelengths
  SIST EN ISO 3815-2:2005 includes a list of common analytical emission lines (spectral lines in nanometres) for essential elements such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), tin (Sn), aluminium (Al), magnesium (Mg), and yttrium (Y).

• Quality Assurance and Reporting
  The standard mandates reporting requirements including sample identification, test results, laboratory information, and references to the standard itself to ensure traceability and data integrity.

Applications

• Zinc and Zinc Alloy Manufacturing
  Manufacturers use this standard to verify chemical composition to meet product specifications and regulatory requirements, ensuring performance and safety of zinc-based products.

• Quality Control Laboratories
  Analytical and testing labs employ the ICP-OES methods defined in SIST EN ISO 3815-2:2005 for routine monitoring and certification of zinc materials used in construction, automotive, electronics, and other industries.

• Research and Development
  Researchers analyzing new zinc-based materials can use the method for accurate elemental analysis and alloy characterization.

• Environmental and Regulatory Testing
  Detection of impurities or contaminants in zinc alloys for compliance with environmental regulations and health standards.

Related Standards

• ISO 301 - Specifies composition of zinc alloy ingots intended for casting.
• ISO 752 - Details requirements and testing of zinc ingots.
• ISO 1169 - Volumetric method for aluminium content determination in zinc alloys.
• ISO 20081 - Sampling specifications for zinc and zinc alloys.
• EN 988 - Specifications for rolled flat zinc products used in building.
• EN 12844 - Specifications for zinc alloy castings.

These complementary standards provide a harmonized framework covering sampling, testing, and quality specifications across the lifecycle of zinc and zinc alloy products.

ISO 3815-2:2005(E)
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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 3815-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 18, Zinc and zinc alloys, Subcommittee SC 1,
Methods of sampling and analysis of zinc and zinc alloys.
This first edition of ISO 3815-2 cancels and replaces ISO 3815:1976, which has been technically revised.
