Adhesives - Determination of isocyanate content

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the isocyanate content of adhesives, adhesive components and their basic constituents.
It is not applicable to products containing blocked isocyanate groups which can be liberated by the reagents used in this test method.

Klebstoffe - Bestimmung des Isocyanatgehaltes

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Isocyanatgehaltes von Klebstoffen,
Klebstoff-Komponenten und deren Grundbestandteile fest.
Dieses Verfahren ist nicht anwendbar bei Produkten, die blockierte Isocyanatgruppen enthalten, die durch die
bei diesem Prüfverfahren benutzten Reagenzien freigesetzt werden können.

Adhésifs - Détermination de la teneur en isocyanate

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode permettant de déterminer la teneur en isocyanate des
adhésifs, des composants d’adhésifs et de leurs constituants de base.
Elle ne s’applique pas aux produits contenant des groupes d’isocyanates bloqués qui peuvent etre libérés par
les réactifs utilisés dans cette méthode d’essai.
