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.

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 9455-10 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee SC 12, Soldering materials.

ISO 9455 consists of the following parts, under the general title Soft soldering fluxes - Test methods:

- Part 1: Determination of non-volatile matter, gravimetric method
- Part 2: Determination of non-volatile matter, ebulliometric method
- Part 3: Determination of acid value, potentiometric and visual titration methods
- Part 5: Copper mirror test
- Part 6: Determination and detection of halide (excluding fluoride) content
- Part 8: Determination of zinc content
- Part 9: Determination of ammonia content
- Part 10: Flux efficacy test, solder spread method
- Part 11: Solubility of flux residues
- Part 13: Determination of flux spattering
- Part 14: Assessment of tackiness of flux residues
- Part 15: Copper corrosion test
- Part 16: Flux efficacy tests, wetting balance method
- Part 17: Surface insulation resistance comb test and electrochemical migration test of flux residues

Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this part of ISO 9455 should be directed to the Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 12 via your national standards body. A complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org.
