Plastics - Melamine-formaldehyde mouldings - Determination of extractable formaldehyde (ISO 4614:1977)

Liquids simulating fodd and beverages are placed in contact with mouldings of the sample material, under defined conditions. The formaldehyde content of the liquid is then determined and the quantity of formaldehyde extracted per unit area of content is calculated. Two spectrophotometric methods for the determination of formaldehyde in the liquid, using chromotropic acid disodium salt or acetylacetone as reagents, are given.

FOREWORD
ISO (the International Orsanization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation
of national Standards institutes (ISO member bodies). The work of developing
International Standards is carried out through ISO technical committees. Every
member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been set
up 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.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated
to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International
Standards by the ISO Council.
International Standard ISO 4614 was developed by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 61, Plastics, and was circulated to the member bodies in December 1975.
lt has been approved by the member bodies of the following countries :
Australia Hungary Portugal
Austria India Romania
Belgium Iran Spain
Sweden
Brazil Ireland
Israel Switzerland
Canada
Turkey
Czechoslovakia Japan
Mexico United Kingdom
Finland
France Netherlands Yugoslavia
Poland
Germany
The member bodies of the following countries expressed disapproval of the
document on technical grounds :
