Overview
EN 62321-4:2014/A1:2017 (IEC 62321-4:2013/A1:2017) specifies analytical procedures for the determination of mercury in electrotechnical products - including polymers, metals and electronic assemblies - using instrumental techniques: CV‑AAS, CV‑AFS, ICP‑OES and ICP‑MS. The A1 amendment updates sampling and calculation guidance, adds warnings on matrix effects (e.g., phosphors), and identifies preferred methods for specific product types.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Measurement of mercury content in materials and finished electrotechnical products (polymers, metals, electronics).
- Analytical methods covered: Cold‑Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (CV‑AAS), Cold‑Vapor Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (CV‑AFS), Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP‑OES) and ICP‑MS.
- Sampling: For fluorescent lamps, sample preparation must follow IEC 62554 (as required by the amendment).
- Method preference: CV‑AAS is noted as the preferred method for fluorescent lamps because of sensitivity and ease of use.
- Matrix/interference caution: Laboratories are warned to assess matrix effects or phosphor interferences when testing lamp materials and to choose appropriate conditions.
- Calculation and reporting: The standard provides calculation procedures converting measured mercury concentration in solution to total mercury amount and to concentration in the original sample. Calculations explicitly include: blank correction, total solution volume, dilution factor, and sample mass to produce results in mg (total) or µg/g (concentration).
Applications
- Regulatory compliance testing (e.g., RoHS and other chemical restrictions where mercury limits apply).
- Product safety and environmental assessment for manufacturers of lamps, connectors, printed circuit boards and polymer parts.
- Quality control and incoming/outgoing inspection in electronics manufacturing.
- Third‑party testing and certification laboratories performing mercury quantification in complex matrices.
Who should use this standard
- Analytical and environmental testing laboratories performing mercury determinations in electrotechnical products.
- Product compliance engineers and materials specialists in electronics and lighting industries.
- Regulatory bodies and conformity assessment bodies verifying material content declarations.
Related standards
- IEC 62321 series (general methods for determination of restricted substances in electronic products).
- IEC 62554 (sample preparation and guidance for fluorescent lamps) - explicitly referenced for lamp sampling in the amendment.
Keywords: EN 62321-4, IEC 62321-4, mercury determination, CV‑AAS, CV‑AFS, ICP‑OES, ICP‑MS, fluorescent lamps, polymers, metals, electronics, RoHS compliance.
