BS 6810-2:2005

This standard BS 6810-2:2005 Determination of metals in textiles is classified in these ICS categories:

• 59.080.01 Textiles in general

This British Standard describes methods for the determination of the proportions present in commonly encountered textile fibres (excluding inorganic fibres) of metals, including the following metals: antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel and zinc. Methods are given for both soluble and total metals and are applicable to any metal capable of being detected by the instrumentation used.

For atomic emission spectroscopy, the detection limit is governed by the calibration range chosen and the resolution of the instrumentation used.
