XRF Testing
1) Suppliers must carry out a XRF Test by the unit of homogeneous materials in parts.
* Homogeneous material means a unit that cannot be mechanically disjointed into single materials.

- Standards: Distinguish between organic/inorganic ( Unit: ppm, error tolerance 15% )

- Method of manufacturing for test

Mix 0.4g Diphenylcarbazide, 20ml Acetone, and 20ml Ethanol.
Mix 17ml of 85% Phosphoric acid with 23ml of water.
Mix the result of and .
* You must use the manufactured reagent within 4~8hr because of discoloration.

- Detail GUIDE
If Hexavalent chromium is detected, then color will turn red within one
minute. If there is no change, judge as pass.

- 27 / 48

For effective judgment, place the white paper under the reagent bottle.
Its impossible to judge after several minutes has passed from making the reagent
In case of large size sample, pour the reagent over the sample and collect the
reagent in a beaker. Then judge the color of the reagent.
Rub a wide area more than 10 times using the cotton swab with the reagent.

- Judgment
Pass if there is no change in color, fail if the solution turns red.
