30、e 1 when determined on samples selected in accordance with clause 6. In expressing the results for the analysis, the values obtained shall be rounded to the same number of decimal places as used in expressing the specified limit given in table 1. The rounding rules are given in annex A. Methods for
31、sampling a batch for analysis are given in annex B. 5.2 Chemical composition of solders for joining pewterware For those cases where the soldered joint may reasonably be expected to come into contact with foodstuffs, the solder used for joining the component parts of the pewterware shall contain not
32、 more than 0,25 % lead and 0,05 % cadmium. Examples of solders which meet this requirement are as follows: a) one of the alloys designated 1 to 6 in table 1 of this Part of this European Standard; or b) alloy No. 21 in EN 29453 (see annex C); or c) tin conforming to any of the grades specified in EN
33、 610. NOTE. It is recommended that soldered joints which may reasonably be expected not to come into contact with foodstuffs should be made using solder which conforms to a), b), c) of this subclause, or to alloy No. 11 or alloy No. 12 in EN 29453 (see annex C). 6 Selection and preparation of sample
34、s for analysis When analysis is to be carried out to verify conformity of a batch of ingots, sheets or blanks with the composition requirements of this European Standard, the selection of the samples, and the preparation of the analysis samples, shall be in accordance with annex B. 7 Analytical meth
35、ods For routine control purposes, the samples selected and prepared in accordance with clause 6 shall be analysed by the use of recognized chemical or instrumental analytical methods. In cases of dispute concerning the results of chemical analysis of pewter ingots, sheets or blanks, until the public

41、EN 611-1 : 1995 Annex A (normative) Rounding rules For the purposes of determining conformity with compositional limits an observed value, or a calculated value, obtained from the analysis is rounded to the same number of decimal places as used in this European Standard in expressing the specified l
42、imit. The following rules shall be used for rounding: a) if the figure immediately after the last figure to be retained is less than five, the last figure to be retained shall be kept unchanged; b) if the figure immediately after the last figure to be retained is equal to or greater than five, the l
43、ast figure to be retained shall be increased by one. Annex B (normative) Method for sampling ingots, sheets and blanks for analysis B.l Sampling of ingots B.l.l Principle A number of ingots is randomly selected from the batch. Sawcuts are made systematically in the selected ingots and the resulting
44、sawings are combined. Analysis samples are obtained by splitting the aggregated sample. B. 1.2 Materials and apparatus B.1.2.1 Steel wire brush. B.1.2.2 Soft bristle brush. B.1.2.3 Powered hacksaw, equipped with a steel blade for coarse cutting. B.1.2.4 Large magnet. B. 1.2.5 Degreasing solvent. B.1
45、.2.6 Sample splitter, or equipment for coning and quartering. B. 1.3 Procedure B.1.3.1 Selection of sample ingots from the batch According to the number of ingots in the batch, randomly select a number of sample ingots in accordance with the ingot sampling rate given in table B. 1. I able B1. Sampli
46、ng rate for batch of ingots I I Number of ingots in batch 1 to 4 3 to 20 21 to40 41 to 60 over 60 Number of sample ingots 1 1 2 4 6 10 5% of ingots in batch B.1.3.2 Preparation of sample ingots Ensure the sample ingots (B.1.3.1) are free of oil and grease. Clean the sample ingots by scratch brushing
47、 the surface, using the steel wire brush (B.1.2.1). Then use the soft brush (B.1.2.2) to remove any loose surface contaminants. B.1.3.3 Sawing the sample ingots Cut off, by sawing using the hacksaw (B.1.2.3), a quarter of the length of each sample ingot (B. 1.3.2). NOTE. The sawcut should not be mad
48、e through the end lug of the ingot. If any sample ingot has end lugs which are longer than one-quarter the length of the ingot, the cut should be made closer to the centre of the length of t,he ingot, such that the full cross-section of the ingot is sampled. Collect the sawings from each sample ingo
49、t. Aggregate and mix the sawings and remove any free iron with a magnet (B.1.2.4). B.1.3.4 Obtaining the analgsis sample Reduce the aggregated sample obtained in B.1.3.3 by means of the sample splitter or by coning and quartering (B.1.2.6), to obtain one, or more, representative samples of suitable size for analysis. B.2 Sampling of sheets and blanks B. 2.1 Principle Small pieces are cut from a number of sheets or blanks in the batch. The pieces are aggregated, melted and cast in a chill mould.
