ISO 10564-1993 PDF

Full title and description

ISO 10564:1993 — Soldering and brazing materials — Methods for the sampling of soft solders for analysis. Specifies procedures to obtain analysis samples representative of each batch of soft solder in a consignment, including selection of batch samples, preparation of test sample sticks, preparation of the analysis sample, testing of individual units and preservation of samples.

Abstract

This International Standard (first edition, published July 15, 1993) defines practical, reproducible sampling procedures to ensure that chemical and physical analyses of soft solders are performed on material representative of each batch. It covers batch selection, how to prepare sample sticks from containers or coils, preparation of the laboratory analysis sample, short-term preservation and traceability of retained samples for later verification.

Scope

ISO 10564:1993 applies to consignments of soft solder divided into batches and specifies methods for sampling each batch so that an analysis sample is representative. The standard addresses unit-of-product definitions, rules for selecting batch samples from a consignment, preparation of test sample sticks and the laboratory analysis sample, testing of individual units when required, and preservation and traceability of retained analysis samples.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and terminology for consignments, batches and units of product.
• Selection rules for batch samples from a consignment to avoid bias.
• Preparation of test sample sticks (how to take material from coils, reels, bars, spools or containers).
• Preparation of a single analysis sample representative of the batch.
• Procedures for testing individual units when required by contract or quality plan.
• Preservation, marking and traceability of retained analysis samples.
• Requirements to ensure reproducible sampling and to minimise contamination or segregation.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers of soft solders, incoming goods inspection, quality-control laboratories, procurement and QA/QC managers in electronics and metal-joining industries, and testing/analytical laboratories that perform chemical composition checks on solder alloys. It is applied where reliable, traceable sampling is needed to support batch release, supplier disputes or regulatory/contractual verification.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10564:1993 is an International Standard titled "Soldering and brazing materials — Methods for the sampling of soft solders for analysis" that gives procedures for taking representative analysis samples from batches of soft solder.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers selection of batch samples from a consignment, preparation of test sample sticks, preparation of the laboratory analysis sample, testing of individual units (when required) and preservation/traceability of retained analysis samples so that laboratory results represent the batch.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers and suppliers of soft solders, incoming inspection and QA/QC teams in electronics and metal-joining industries, and chemical/analytical labs that perform composition testing on solder alloys.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The original ISO 10564:1993 (published 15 July 1993) has been withdrawn/cancelled by ISO (the standard lifecycle record shows cancellation actions; national and regional adoptions were also withdrawn at later dates). Users should check current national or ISO catalogue records for any replacement or newer guidance before relying on the withdrawn text.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the family of standards addressing soldering and brazing materials and associated test methods and sampling practices. There are related ISO and EN standards dealing with solder alloy compositions, flux test methods and brazing filler-metal specifications (often published as separate ISO parts or adopted at national/regional level).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Sampling, soft solder, analysis sample, batch, soldering, brazing, sample preservation, quality control.
