Overview

ISO 22863-12:2022 specifies a validated test method for the determination of picrates and picric acid in fireworks and pyrotechnic compositions using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The standard describes sample preparation, extraction, chromatographic conditions, qualitative identification by retention time, and quantitative determination with an external standard calibration curve. It is part of the ISO 22863 series developed by ISO/TC 264 (Fireworks).

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope: Determination of picric acid and picrates in firework compositions by HPLC.
  • Principle: Hot-water extraction of picrate anions followed by HPLC under acidic conditions; detection by UV (350 nm) and comparison to external picric acid standards.
  • Sample preparation:
    • Sample mass: 0.5 g
    • Extraction: 5 ml hot deionized water, ultrasonic mixing 40 min, centrifuge 2 min at 3 000 r/min; repeat three times and combine to 25 ml.
    • Filtration through 0.45 µm organic Millipore device.
  • HPLC settings (specified):
    • Column: C18 (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 µm) or equivalent
    • Mobile phase: Methanol : 0.1% glacial acetic acid = 55:45 (v/v)
    • Flow rate: 0.8 ml/min, injection volume 10 µl
    • Detection wavelength: 350 nm
  • Calibration and quantification:
    • External standard (picric acid, ≥99% purity) reserve solution (100 µg/ml), prepare diluted standards to build a linear response curve.
    • Calculate sample concentration from peak area and standard curve; blank and parallel tests required.
  • Performance:
    • Reported recovery: ~89.4%–96.4% in the 0.5–20 mg/kg range
    • Relative standard deviation (RSD) < 10%
  • Reporting: Test report must include laboratory ID, reference to ISO 22863-12, sample description per ISO 22863-1, qualitative/quantitative results, and anomalies.

Applications and users

ISO 22863-12 is relevant for:

  • Fireworks and pyrotechnic manufacturers performing quality control and formulation safety checks.
  • Accredited testing laboratories and forensic labs analyzing seized fireworks for hazardous picrates/picric acid.
  • Regulatory and customs authorities enforcing explosives and consumer safety regulations.
  • Research groups studying pyrotechnic chemistry and decomposition products.

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.
