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 document 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).

ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction

Conventionally, a titration method using mercuric acetate (see ISO 17710) has been used as a method for measuring a polyether polyol for polyurethanes. However, in recent years, the treatment of mercury waste liquid associated with analysis has become a global problem.

This document formulates a measurement method to replace the mercuric acetate method.

1 Scope

This document specifies a method for quantifying the total unsaturation using an addition reaction of the interhalogen compound iodine monochloride (ICl), using glacial acetic acid as a solvent as a method for measuring the total unsaturation of a polyether polyol for polyurethanes. It is not applicable to unsaturated compounds that are conjugated with a carbonyl group, a carboxyl group, or a nitrile group.
