The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out throug

21、h 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 collaborat

22、es closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standard

23、s. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of thi

25、rsedevrIntroduction The health of workers in many industries is at risk through exposure by inhalation of hexavalent chromium compounds. Industrial hygienists and other public health professionals need to determine the effectiveness of measures taken to control workers exposure, and this is generall

26、y achieved by making workplace air measurements. This International Standard has been published in order to make available a method for making valid exposure measurements for hexavalent chromium compounds used in industry. It will be of benefit to agencies concerned with health and safety at work; i

27、ndustrial hygienists and other public health professionals; analytical laboratories; industrial users of hexavalent chromium compounds and their workers. It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its provisions, and the interpretation of the results obt

28、ained, is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.

29、nt using diphenyl carbazide 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the time-weighted average mass concentration of hexavalent chromium in workplace air. Separate sample preparation methods are specified for the extraction of soluble and insoluble hexavalent c

30、hromium. The method for insoluble hexavalent chromium can also be used to prepare samples for determination of total hexavalent chromium, if desired. This International Standard is applicable to the personal sampling of the inhalable fraction of airborne particles, as defined in ISO 7708, and to sta

31、tic (area) sampling. The analytical method is applicable to the determination of masses of 0,01 g to 10 g of hexavalent chromium per sample, without dilution. The concentration range of hexavalent chromium in air for which the measuring procedure is applicable is determined by the sampling method se

32、lected by the user (see 10.1). For a 1 m 3air sample, without sample dilution, the working range is approximately 0,01 gm 3to 10 gm 3 . 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
