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.
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
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical
Committee CEN/SSM21, Precious metals — Applications in jewellery and associated products, in
collaboration with ISO Technical Committee TC 174, Jewellery and precious metals, in accordance with
the agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 11210:2014), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— extension of the scope of application to all precious metal alloys beyond the jewellery sector;
— clarification of the fineness for which the test is suitable;
— addition of a specific preparation for samples containing a significant amount of silver in Clause 8;
— addition of an alternative method for the filtration in Clause 8;
— harmonization of method with ISO 11490.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11210:2023(E)
Jewellery and precious metals — Determination of
platinum — Gravimetry using ammonium chloride
1 Scope
This document specifies a gravimetric method for the determination of platinum on a material
considered homogeneous. The platinum content of the sample lies preferably between 50 and 999 parts
per thousand (‰) by mass. Fineness above 999 ‰ can be determined using a spectroscopy method by
difference (e.g. ISO 15093).
This method is also intended to be used as one of the recommended methods for the determination of
fineness in jewellery alloys covered by ISO 9202.

3.1
platinum sponge
platinum obtained after calcination of the diammonium hexachloroplatinate precipitate
4 Principle
The sample is dissolved in aqua regia. Platinum is precipitated with ammonium chloride. The
diammonium hexachloroplatinate precipitate is converted by ignition to metallic platinum which is
weighed.
If present, silver is separated as silver chloride.
Co-precipitated alloying elements are tested in the re-dissolved platinum sponge and measured using,
for example, an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES), and a correction
applied.
