What is ISO 15096 about?
ISO 15096 international standard discusses procedure and method for determination of high purity silver. ISO 15096 specifies the analytical procedure for the determination of silver with a nominal content of and above 999 ‰ (parts per thousand).
ISO 15096 specifies a method intended to be used as the recommended method for the determination of silver of fineness of and above 999 ‰. For the determination of fineness of and above 999,9 ‰.
Who is ISO 15096 for?
ISO 15096 on the determination of high purity silver is useful for:
- Jewellers
- Jewellery designers
- Quality control laboratory
- ICP-OES analysts
Why should you use ISO 15096?
A method is available to determine the purity of silver of fineness of and above 999 ‰. They however all require the destruction of the sample and long analysis time.
ISO 15096 specifies analytical procedure and method for determination of high purity silver is essential in order to control and improve the manufacturing of jewellery. An additional reason for the determination of high purity silver is the effect of impurities on the freezing and melting properties when silver is used for primary and secondary temperature calibration, which helps you to make attractive jewellery.
International standard ISO 15096 provides a method for the determination of high purity silver difference method using ICP-OES, silver is important in minting, jewellery, and industry. Silver can be obtained from pure deposits and ores and, like other precious metals, needs to be refined to remove any impurities.
