NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 12) which is identical to IEC 62321-12 : 2023 'Determination of certain substances in electrotechnical products - Part 12: Simultaneous determination - Polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers and phthalates in polymers by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry' issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Standardization of Environmental Aspects for Electrical and Electronics Products Sectional Committee and approval of the Electrotechnical Division Council.

This standard is published in ten parts. Other parts in this series ar:e

Part 1 Introduction and overview

Part 2 Disassembly, disjointment and mechanical sample preparation

Part 3 Screening

Part 4 Mercury in polymers, metals and electronics by cv-Aas, cv-Afs, icp-Oes and icp–Ms

Part 5 Cadmium, lead and chromium in polymers and electronics and cadmium and lead in metals by aas, afs, icp - Oes and icp – Ms

Part 6 Polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in polymers by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

Part 7 Hexavalent chromium

Part 8 Phthalates in polymers by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using a pyrolyzer/thermal desorption accessory (Py-TD-GC-MS)

The text of IEC standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
