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.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This is a free 11 page sample. Access the full version online.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

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.

ISO 11402 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 12, Thermosetting
materials.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11402:1993), as well as ISO 9020:1994 and
ISO 9397:1995. The three standards have been combined into one, the sulfite procedure being taken from
ISO 9020 and the hydroxylamine hydrochloride procedure from ISO 9397.

Phenolic, amino and condensation resins — Determination of

free-formaldehyde content

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies three methods for determining the free-formaldehyde content in the
following:
This is a free 11 page sample. Access the full version online.

a) Phenolic resins, by potentiometric titration in aqueous or organic solution (hydroxylamine hydrochloride

procedure). The method is applicable to resins with free-formaldehyde contents up to and including 15 %
by mass. For free-formaldehyde contents between 15 % by mass and 30 % by mass, it may be
necessary to adjust the concentrations of the standard volumetric solutions used accordingly.

b) Amino resins and furan resins (sulfite procedure). The method is applicable to resins resulting from the
polycondensation of urea and melamine with formaldehyde and to furan resins resulting from the
polycondensation of furfuryl alcohol with formaldehyde without further modification.

c) Condensation resins (KCN procedure), including urea resins, furan resins, melamine resins and
phenolic resins, as well as combinations and modifications of these resins.

The purpose of this International Standard is to establish recognized and useful determination procedures (for
instance in order to check whether official regulations on the handling of hazardous workplace materials are
observed). As far as possible, all formaldehyde-containing resins are to be included in this connection.

The free-formaldehyde content determined in formaldehyde condensation resins using this International
Standard represents the actual content at the time of the determination. The value bears no quantitative
relationship to the free-formaldehyde content during or after processing.
