This part of IEC 62321 describes the screening analysis of substances, specifically lead (Pb), mercury (Hg),
cadmium (Cd), total chromium (Cr), total bromine (Br), total phosphorus (P), assuming
the source of P is related to TCEP (CAS 115-96-8), Trixylyl-phosphate (CAS 25155-23-1), total chlorine (Cl), assuming
the source of Cl is related to SCCP (CAS 85535-84-8), TCEP (CAS 115-96-8) , TBTC (CAS 1461-22-9), total tin (Sn), assuming the source of Sn is related to restricted
organo-tin compounds, total antimony (Sb), assuming the source of Sb is related to
Pyrochlore, and antimony lead yellow (CAS 8012-00-8) in uniform materials found in
electrotechnical products, using the analytical technique of X-ray fluorescence (XRF)
spectrometry.
The same methodology can also be used for screening of substances discussed as critical
raw materials in various countries (for example currently discussed in the EU: antimony
(Sb), baryte, bismuth (Bi), cobalt (Co), fluorspar, gallium (Ga), germanium (Ge),
hafnium (Hf), indium (In), magnesium (Mg), niobium (Nb), phosphorus (P), scandium
(Sc), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), vanadium (V), platinum group metals, heavy rare
earth elements, light rare earth elements).
NOTE From EU information on critical raw materials [1]1 raw materials are crucial to Europe's economy. They form a strong industrial base,
producing a broad range of goods and applications used in everyday life and modern
