_____________
INTRODUCTION
Add, at the end of the first paragraph, the following new dashed item:
– Part 3: Measurement of low level of halogen content by ion chromatography
Replace the last sentence with the following new text:
This part of IEC 60754 is linked with both IEC 60754-1 and IEC 60754-3. The test procedure
for obtaining the absorption solution in this part of IEC 60754 is the same as for IEC 60754-3
but the test procedure differs considerably from IEC 60754-1.

1 Scope
Add at the end of the first paragraph the following sentence:
The heating (combustion) procedure of this part of IEC 60754 is the same as in IEC 60754-3.

5.4 Combustion boats
In the last paragraph, replace the sentence “The combustion boat shall then be weighed to an
accuracy of 0,1 mg until two identical consecutive weights are obtained.” with the following
new text:
The combustion boat shall then be weighed with an analytical balance until two identical
consecutive measurements in mg, rounded to one decimal figure, are obtained. The accuracy
is described in 5.7.
5.6 Air supply system
Replace the second and third paragraphs, including the NOTE, with the following:
2 -3
The flow rate of air, ρ, shall be 20 m/h × (π/4) x D x 10 with a tolerance of ±10 %, where D
is the internal diameter of the quartz tube.
EXAMPLE
2 -3
If D = 30 mm, 20 m/h × (π/4) × D x 10 = 14,1 l/h, and the flow rate can be in the range 12,7 l/h to 15,5 l/h.
2 -3
If D = 46 mm, 20 m/h × (π/4) × D x 10 = 33,2 l/h, and the flow rate can be in the range 29,9 l/h to 36,5 l/h.
NOTE The flow rate of air, ρ, is related to the velocity, v , according to the formula
π D²
−3
ρ=v ××10
where
D is the internal diameter of the tube (mm);
ρ is the flow rate of air (l/h);
v is the speed of air (m/h).
2 -3
If v = 20 m/h, this becomes, ρ = 15,7 m/h × D x 10 .
Replace under Method 2 the second sentence with the following:
The air shall be filtered and dried and shall be introduced on the inlet side of the quartz glass
tube (see Figure 4).
5.7 Analytical balance
Replace the sentence with the following:
The balance shall have a resolution and an accuracy of ±0,1 mg or better.

5.8 Laboratory glassware
Replace “ISO 1042” with “ISO 1042 Class B”.

6.3 Mass of specimen
In the first paragraph, replace the first sentence with the following: Weigh the combustion
boat (m ) as defined in 5.4.
In the first paragraph, at the end of the second sentence, replace the text “which shall be
weighed to an accuracy of 0,1 mg” with “which shall be weighed with an analytical balance so
a measurement in mg, rounded to one decimal figure (m ), is obtained.”
7.4 Washing procedure
Replace, at the end of the last sentence, “made up to 1 000 ml” with “made up to the 1 000 ml
mark.”.
8.1 General method
Replace the second paragraph with the following new text:
If, in the case of reporting against a performance requirement, the coefficient of variation is
higher than 5 % and the difference between the requirement and the mean value is less than
or equal to 2,5 times the standard deviation, a further three tests shall be carried out and the
mean value, standard deviation and coefficient of variation shall be recalculated using the six
values. If the difference be
