These Directives require the characterization of these materials for Cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)), mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) and the four phthalates DEHP, BBP DBP and DIBP. Nevertheless, the Directives do not reflect the correspondence between these elements/compounds and the normal composition of each material concerned. In other words, for every material there is an obligation to determine all the compounds listed, independently of the relevance of such controls.

The present statistical procedure describes how to check results for absence of bias by comparison of these analytical results with those obtained during the certification of CRMs. If the resulting data confirm the absence of bias, the method may be considered accurate when applied to all steels and irons whose composition ranges are adequately covered or bounded by the CRMs used. The resulting data give also an estimate of the repeatability and/or the intermediate precision ("intralaboratory reproducibility") for the CRMs used. The comparison of these analytical data with the repeatability data obtained during the certification may also be performed depending on the strict purpose of the method under consideration. For the purpose of this Technical Report, the use of existing CRMs is essential for the assessment of the trueness, but it may be only indicative for the other statistical data.

This International Standard specifies an infrared absorption method, after combustion in an induction furnace, for
the determination of the total carbon and sulfur content in steel and iron.
The method is applicable to carbon contents of mass fraction between 0,005 % and 4,3 % and to sulfur contents of
mass fraction between 0,000 5 % and 0,33 %.
This method is intended to be used in normal production operations and is intended to meet all generally accepted,
good laboratory practices of the type expected by recognized laboratory accreditation agencies. It uses
commercially available equipment, is calibrated and calibration verified using steel and iron certified reference
materials, and its performance is controlled using normal statistical process control (SPC) practices.
This method can be used in the single element mode, i.e., determination of carbon and sulfur independently or in
the simultaneous mode, i.e., determination of carbon and sulfur concurrently.
