This standard BS 3338-21:1983 Methods for the sampling and analysis of tin and tin alloys is classified in these ICS categories:

• 77.120.60 Lead, zinc, tin and their alloys

This Part of this British Standard describes a method for the determination of cadmium in tin base soft solder alloys containing 10 % to 30 % of cadmium and with reproducibility of 0.15 % of the cadmium present.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

Describes a procedure for determining cadmium content in various soft solder alloys. The procedure is one giving reliable and reproducible results and is intended for referee analyses, although more convenient and rapid methods are used for routine requirements.
