Overview
EN ISO 1248:2008 - Iron oxide pigments: specifications and methods of test (ISO 1248:2006 including Technical Corrigendum 1:2007) is a CEN-adopted international standard that defines requirements and laboratory test methods for dry iron oxide pigments intended for general use. The standard covers manufactured and natural pigments identified by Colour Index Nos.: red 101, red 102, yellow 42, yellow 43, brown 6, brown 7, and black 11, and includes rapid‑dispersion pigments. It excludes micaceous, transparent, granular grey and most magnetic iron oxides (except Pigment Black 11).
Key topics
- Scope & identification
- Applies to dry iron oxide pigments used in paints, coatings and related industries.
- Identifies pigments by Colour Index numbers and notes excluded types.
- Classification
- By group (red, yellow, brown, black).
- By category according to minimum total iron content, expressed as Fe2O3 (e.g., red A = min. 95% Fe2O3; other category thresholds specified).
- By type based on water‑soluble matter and combined water‑soluble chlorides/sulfates (Type I, II, III; Type I used in anticorrosive paints).
- By grade according to residue on 45 µm sieve (Grade 1, 2, 3 with defined % limits).
- By class depending on origin and presence of extenders (a = manufactured without extenders, b = natural, c = mixtures, d = with extenders).
- Required characteristics & tests
- Total iron as Fe2O3 (methods provided).
- Matter volatile at 105 °C, water‑soluble matter (hot extraction), water‑soluble chlorides/sulfates, pH/acidity of aqueous extract.
- Residue on sieve (45 µm) for grading.
- Tests for lead chromate, total calcium (AAS and titrimetric), and organic colouring matter.
- Sampling requirements reference ISO 15528; many test methods reference ISO 787 series.
Applications and users
- Useful for pigment manufacturers, paint and coatings producers, ink and plastics formulators, QC laboratories, procurement/specification teams and regulatory bodies.
- Helps ensure consistent pigment quality, compliance with customer specifications, safe formulation (lead chromate check), and suitability for applications such as anticorrosive paints, architectural coatings and industrial finishes.
- Enables standardized quality control, acceptance testing and supplier certification in supply chains using iron oxide pigments.

ISO 1248:2006(E) iv © ISO 2006 – All rights reserved 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 1248 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes, Subcommittee SC 2, Pigments and extenders.

Weigh, to the nearest 0,1 mg, a test portion of the dried sample containing approximately 0,3 g of iron (see Table 1), i.e. 0,3 g to 1,0 g of the sample depending on the expected iron content. 8.1.4.1.3 If the sample is known, or suspected, to contain carbon or organic matter (see Note in 11.3), place the test portion in a 400 ml quartz beaker and ignite at 750 °C for 1 h, and allow to cool. Alternatively, place the test portion in a porcelain crucible, ignite at 750 °C for 1 h, allow to cool, and transfer to a 400 ml beaker. 8.1.4.1.4 Place the test portion in a 400 ml beaker and add 25 ml of hydrochloric acid (8.1.2.1). Cover the beaker with a watchglass and heat at 80 °C to 90 °C to dissolve the pigment. If an insoluble residue remains, add 50 ml of water, stir, and filter off the residue using a paper filter. Wash the filter with warm hydrochloric acid (8.1.2.2), until the yellow colour of iron(III) is no longer observed. Then wash once or twice with warm water. Place the filter and the residue in a platinum crucible, dry, char the paper and finally ignite at 750 °C to 800 °C. Allow the crucible to cool. Moisten the residue in the crucible with dilute sulfuric acid (8.1.2.4), add about 5 ml of hydrofluoric acid (8.1.2.3), and heat gently to remove silica and sulfuric acid. SIST EN ISO 1248:2009
