Jewellery - Determination of gold in gold jewellery alloys - Cupellation method (fire assay) (ISO 11426:2014)

ISO 11426:2014 specifies a cupellation method (fire assay) for the determination of gold in gold jewellery alloys. The gold content of the alloys should preferably lie between 333 and 999 parts per thousand (?).
The procedure is applicable specifically to gold alloys incorporating silver, copper, and zinc. Some modifications are indicated where nickel and/or palladium are present in the so-called white gold alloys, as well as for alloys containing 990 or more parts per thousand (?) of gold.
ISO 11426:2014 is intended to be used as the recommended method for the determination of fineness in alloys covered by ISO 9202.

Schmuck - Bestimmung von Gold in Goldschmucklegierungen - Dokimastisches Verfahren (ISO 11426:2014)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein dokimastisches Verfahren (Kupellationsverfahren) zur Bestimmung von Gold in Goldschmucklegierungen fest. Der Goldgehalt der Legierung sollte vorzugsweise zwischen 333 und 999 Promille (‰) liegen.
Das Verfahren ist besonders anwendbar für Goldlegierungen mit Silber, Kupfer und Zink. Einige Änderungen am Verfahren sind angezeigt, falls Nickel und/oder Palladium in sogenannten Weissgoldlegierungen vorhanden sind, ebenso für Legierungen die mehr als 990 Promille (‰) Gold enthalten.
Dieses Verfahren ist als empfohlenes Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Reinheit in Legierungen, wie in ISO 9202 vorgesehen, angegeben.

Joaillerie, bijouterie - Dosage de l'or dans les alliages d'or pour la bijouterie-joaillerie - Méthode de coupellation (essai au feu) (ISO 11426:2014)

ISO 11426:2014 prescrit une méthode de coupellation (essai au feu) permettant de doser l'or dans les alliages d'or pour la bijouterie-joaillerie. Il convient que la teneur en or des alliages se situe de préférence entre 333 millièmes et 999 millièmes (?) (en masse).
La méthode s'applique spécifiquement aux alliages d'or contenant de l'argent, du cuivre et du zinc. Certaines modifications sont indiquées lorsque du nickel, du palladium ou les deux sont présents dans ce qu'on appelle les alliages d'or gris, de même que pour les alliages ayant une teneur en or supérieure ou égale à 990 millièmes (?) (en masse).
ISO 11426:2014 spécifie une méthode destinée à servir de méthode recommandée pour la détermination du titre des alliages traités dans l'ISO 9202.

Nakit - Določanje zlata v nakitu - Odtopitev primesi v tekočem svincu (ISO 11426:2014)

Standard ISO 11426:2014 določa metodo odtopitve primesi v tekočem svincu za določanje zlata v zlitinah za zlati nakit. Vsebnost zlata v zlitinah bi morala biti med 333 in 999 delov na tisoč (?).
Postopek se uporablja predvsem za zlate zlitine, ki vsebujejo srebro, baker in cink. Pri nekaterih tako imenovanih zlitinah belega zlata in zlitinah, pri katerih je vsebnost zlata 990 delov na tisoč ali več (?), je označena prisotnost niklja in/ali paladija.
Standard ISO 11426:2014 je namenjen za uporabo kot priporočena metoda za določanje finosti v zlitinah, ki je zajeta v standardu ISO 9202.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which 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 matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT), see the following URL: Foreword — Supplementary information.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 174, Jewellery.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 11426:1997), which has been technically
revised with the following changes:
— change in the scope that this method is the referee method;
— change of requirement for sampling in Clause 6;
— addition of a warning in Clause 7 that suitable health and safety procedures should be followed;
— addition of red gold alloys in 7.2;
— addition of requirements in 7.3.1 for white gold alloys containing nickel and palladium;
— standard editorially revised.
This corrected version of ISO 11426:2014 incorporates the following correction:
— In 4.5, first dash: change of the value “999,99” into “999,9”.
