    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Atomic absorption spectrometric method; range 0.01 to 0.5% (m/m) but may also be applicable to products with a total mercury content in excess of 0.5% (m/m) provided that appropriate changes in reagent and test portion are made.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This International Standard describes a flameless atomic absorption spectrometric referee method for the determination of the total mercury content in paints and related products.

    The method is applicable to products having total mercury contents in the range of about 0,01 to 0,5 % (m/m).

    NOTE This method may also be applicable to products with a total mercury content of more than 0,5 % (m/m), provided that appropriate changes in reagent and test portion quantities are made.
