General information

Current stage: 20.00 New project registered in TC/SC work programme Oct 3, 2023

Originator: ISO

Owner: ISO/TC 173/SC 3 Aids for ostomy and incontinence

Type: International Standard

Scope

ISO 17191:2004 specifies a method for the determination of polyacrylate (PA) superabsorbent powders in airborne dust by measurement of sodium (Na) by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). PA dust samples are collected in polystyrene acrylonitrile air-monitoring cassettes with polytetrafluoroethylene filters and porous plastic backing pads.
This method is applicable to the determination of collected superabsorbent powder in the range between 0,2 micrograms and 60 micrograms (limit of detection near 0,2 micrograms) of superabsorbent powders.
