BS ISO 16962:2017 specifies a glow-discharge optical-emission spectrometric method for the determination
of the thickness, mass per unit area and chemical composition of metallic surface coatings consisting of
zinc- and/or aluminium-based materials. The alloying elements considered are nickel, iron, silicon, lead
and antimony.This method is applicable to zinc contents between 0,01 mass % and 100 mass %; aluminium contents
between 0,01 mass % and 100 mass %; nickel contents between 0,01 mass % and 20 mass %; iron
contents between 0,01 mass % and 20 mass %; silicon contents between 0,01 mass % and 15 mass %;
magnesium contents between 0,01 mass% and 20 mass%; lead contents between 0,005 mass % and
2 mass %, antimony contents between 0,005 mass % and 2 mass %.NOTE Due to environmental and health risks, lead and antimony are avoided nowadays, but this document
is also applicable to older products including these elements.Cross References:ISO 14284ISO 17925ISO 5725-1ISO 5725-2ISO 5725-6ISO 9000:2015ISO 11505ISO 14707ISO/IEC 17025:2005ISO 18115-1ISO/TS 25138All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
