9、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 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matt

15、 Introduction Adverse skin reaction to nickel has been known for many decades. Nickel is now the most frequent cause of contact allergy, and a significant proportion of the female population is allergic to nickel. Skin absorption of nickel ions, which are released from some nickel-containing materia
16、ls in direct and prolonged contact with the skin, causes sensitization. Further exposure to soluble nickel salts results in allergic contact dermatitis. It is known that sensitization to nickel requires higher exposure levels than does the elicitation in already sensitized individuals. There is a la
17、rge variation in the degree of sensitivity to nickel between individuals. This widespread health problem has forced the introduction of a number of measures designed to reduce its prevalence. They include this Technical Specification which provides two procedures for testing those parts of metal and
18、 combination spectacle frames that come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin. Clause 4 specifies a method for accelerated wear to simulate two years use of coated metal and combination spectacle frames. The coatings might include rolled gold covering, electro- and other plating methods, v
19、arnish and other organic treatments. Clause 5 attempts to provide an in vitro chemical test that correlates as far as possible with the variable human biological reactions that occur when metallic articles containing nickel are in direct and prolonged contact with the skin. It provides a measure of
20、the amount of nickel release from a spectacle frame when immersed for one week in artificial sweat. Clinical patch-testing of a selection of nickel-containing alloys and coatings on nickel-sensitized persons indicates that high and low results achieved with the analytical method in this Technical Sp
21、ecification correspond closely with patch-test reactivity. Moreover, a nickel release rate threshold of 0,5 g/cm 2 / week was set in the European Parliament and Council, originally in Directive 94/27 /EC (OJ No. L188 of 1994-07-22) and transferred to Regulation (EC) 1907 /2006 (OJ No. L396/1 of 2006
22、12-30, REACH). 6In order to ensure that articles yielding values near this figure are not unnecessarily excluded from European trade as a result of the difficulties inherent in the test method, particularly when applied to intricately shaped articles, the measured release figures are multiplied by
23、a factor of 0,1. Materials recognized as causing sensitization to nickel would not become acceptable by use of this adjustment. Application of this Technical Specification is confidently expected to significantly reduce the development of allergic contact dermatitis due to nickel. NOTE Experience of
24、 its use and further epidemiological and clinical research can justify changes to test procedure and/or interpretation of the test result ISO 2014 All rights reserved v Ophthalmic optics Spectacle frames Method for the simulation of wear and detection of nickel release from metal and combination spe
25、ctacle frames 1 Scope This Technical Specification specifies methods for accelerated wear and corrosion, to be used prior to the detection of nickel release from coated metal and combination spectacle frames, and for detecting the release of nickel from those parts of metal and combination spectacle
26、 frames, whether coated or not, intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin, in order to determine whether such parts release nickel at a rate greater than 0,5 g/cm 2 /week. This Technical Specification aims to control those spectacle frames which, if produced with materials and
27、/or surface treatments containing nickel, can be worn by nickel-sensitized persons. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable to its application.

29、 of the wearer shall not have a nickel release greater than 0,5 g/cm 2 /week when tested according to this Technical Specification. Spectacle frames having a non-nickel coating shall be subjected to the corrosion and wear pretreatment in Clause 4 which simulate two years typical wear. For spectacle
30、frames that are made of homogeneous alloy or pure metal and are uncoated, go directly to the nickel release test procedure in Clause 5. See also Annex D. The parts to be tested shall include: the rear surface of rims; the rear and lower surface of the bridge, the rear and upper surface of any brace
31、bar and any other nasal-bearing surfaces, including metal nose pads; sides, excluding the joints and the zone immediately around the joints, and parts intended to be protected by plastic endcovers (tips).

The
33、barrel is rotated so as to subject the test pieces to wear from the wear medium.

The end plate, A, is drilled part way through with holes of nominal diameter 1,5 mm, or as appropriate, positioned 10 mm to 15 mm from the edge
45、of the plate, to take the ends of the tips of the sides. The next plate, B, is perforated with holes of nominal diameter 5,0 mm, or as appropriate, positioned 10 mm to 15 mm from the edge of the plate, to take the joint ends of the sides, together with an aperture of 40 mm nominal diameter to act as
46、 a filling hole for the abrasive mixture. A silicone rubber sheet with small holes matching the position of those in plate B holds the sides to prevent them from rotating in the assembly. The final plate, C, is undrilled apart from the hole for the threaded rod. A threaded nut on the inside of the l
