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

Introduction
The use of non-metallic abrasive blast media is common practice for dry and wet surface cleaning and
blasting for substrate preparation prior to coating application. The non-metallic abrasive media are
taken from their natural environment which may contain various soluble salt contaminants including
chloride salts. High chloride salt concentrations in the abrasive blast media may provide for transfer
of the chloride ions to the substrate during the blasting process which would then cause premature
failure of the applied coating.
To limit the risk of contaminating the steel surface from contaminants in the abrasive media, the
chloride levels are quantified with ion specific testing methods that are referenced in this document.
This document provides guidance on analysing specifically for the chloride ion in the presence of other
less / non-corrosive salts such as nitrates and carbonates.
This document is a part of the ISO 11127 series that deals with the sampling and testing of non-metallic
abrasives for blast-cleaning.
The types of non-metallic abrasive and requirements on each are contained in ISO 11126.
The ISO 11126 and ISO 11127 series have been drafted as a coherent set of documents on non-metallic
blast-cleaning abrasives. Information on all parts of both series is given in Annex A.
