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 22775 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 216, Footwear, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

The specimen is then assessed subjectively for signs of discoloration. 3.2 Method 2 Cotton lawn, saturated with sodium chloride solution, is wrapped around a test specimen. This assembly is then stored in a sealed bag for 24 h at room temperature. The test specimen is then subjectively assessed for signs of corrosion and the lawn assessed for staining. 4 Apparatus, materials and reagents 4.1 Method 1 4.1.1 Kipps generator or other hydrogen sulphide source. WARNING This equipment should be used only by qualified personnel owing to the extremely toxicity of hydrogen sulphide. 4.1.2 Fume cupboard 4.1.3 Glass vessel which can be sealed and is of sufficient dimensions to contain the test specimen. 4.1.4 Glass tube with volume approximately equal to one thousandth of the volume of the glass vessel (4.1.3). 4.1.5 Means of suspending the test specimen in the glass vessel (4.1.3) so that the gas can circulate freely around it. NOTE Sewing thread is suitable for small test specimens; larger specimens may require plastic supports underneath. 4.2 Method 2 4.2.1 Sealable polyethylene (PE) bags of sufficient dimensions to contain the cotton lawn (4.2.2) and test specimen. ISO 22775:2004(E) 2 © ISO 2004 All rights reserved 4.2.2 Desized and bleached cotton lawn without finish, with an area approximately five times that of the surface area of the test specimen. NOTE Cotton lawn is a fine plain-woven fabric, made in various fine sheer qualities. 4.2.3 Sodium chloride solution of density 30 g/dm3, sufficient quantity to fully saturate the cotton lawn (4.2.2). 5 Test specimens 5.1 Methods 1 and 2 each require two test specimens, one to be exposed to the reagents and one to be used as a reference for visually comparing any damage or discolouration of the exposed specimen. If both methods are to be carried out, then the same reference specimen can be used in both cases. If only one test component is available for each test then cut the specimen into two pieces (see NOTE). The piece containing the portion considered to be least resistant to corrosion or tarnishing should be exposed to the reagents. If cutting is impracticable record details of flaws, marks and general appearance of the test specimen prior to exposure. NOTE It is permissible to conduct this test on a part of a component provided that the part tested contains the portion of the complete component that is considered to be least resistant to corrosion or tarnishing. This may be necessary for a number of reasons such as: Method 1: the complete component is too large to fit into the vessel (4.1.3); Method 2: the complete component is too large to fit into the bag (4.2.1). 5.2 Cut a piece of suitable dimensions from the test specimen. This piece should contain the portion considered to be least resistant to either corrosion or tarnishing. 5.3 Seal any cut edges on the portion of the component to be exposed to the reagents with epoxy resin and allow the resin to harden for at least 24 h before proceeding with the test. 6 Conditioning The test specimens do not need to be conditioned before testing, nor does the test need to be carried out in a standard atmosphere. 7 Procedure 7.1 Method 1 7.1.1 Fill the glass tube (4.1.4) with water and pour this into the bottom of the vessel (4.1.3). 7.1.2 Seal the vessel and leave it for a minimum of 1 h to enable the humidity inside the vessel to increase and stabilise. 7.1.3 Open the vessel and put one of the test specimens inside, using the sewing thread or plastic supports (4.1.5) to suspend or support the specimen so that it is not in contact with the base of the vessel or the water. 7.1.4 Dry the glass tube fill it with hydrogen sulphide gas (4.1.1) and seal it. WARNING Hydrogen sulphide gas is very toxic and has an unpleasant smell. Extreme care should be taken not to inhale any of the gas and this test must be conducted in a fume cupboard. -,-,- ISO 22775:2004(E) © ISO 2004 All rights reserved 3 7.1.5 Simultaneously remove the seal from the filled glass tube and place the tube in the vessel. Immediately reseal the vessel. 7.1.6 After 60 min ± 5 min remove the test specimen from the vessel. 7.1.7 Place the two test specimens, one which has been exposed to hydrogen sulphide gas and one which has not, alongside each other in bright indirect lighting conditions. 7.1.8 Visually compare the two test specimens from a range of viewing angles and grade the difference according to the scale specified in 8.1. NOTE 1 The difference between a treated and an untreated test specimen is visually assessed. NOTE 2 Assessment of the relevance of any damage or discolouration to the test specimen in this test is a very subjective process. It is therefore important to know as much as possible about the proposed application of the material and to include a full description of damage incurred by the test specimen in the final report. It is highly recommended that the assessment be carried out by several persons, ideally at least three persons. NOTE 3 Nickel plated articles may perform relatively poorly in this test. Severe discolouration should be ignored provided that it is uniform. 7.2 Method 2 7.2.1 Saturate the cotton lawn (4.2.2) with the sodium chloride solution (4.2.3) at room temperature. 7.2.2 Loosely wrap one of the test specimens in the wet cotton lawn ensuring that the contact area between the lawn and specimen is maximised. 7.2.3 Place the test specimen and cotton lawn assembly into the bag (4.2.1). Seal the bag without expelling the air from inside so that it is partially inflated. 7.2.4 Store the bag and assembly for 24 h ± 1 h at room temperature. Then remove the assembly from the bag and take the test specimen out of the cotton lawn. 7.2.5 Fully rinse the test specimen and the cotton lawn in running tap water and allow them both to dry. 7.2.6 Place the cotton lawn and the two test specimens, one which has been exposed to salt water and one which has not, alongside each other in bright indirect lighting conditions. 7.2.7 Visually compare (see NOTE in 7.1.8) the two test specimens from a range of viewing angles and grade the difference according to the scale specified in 8.2. Record also any staining of the cotton lawn. It is highly recommended that the assessment be carried out by several persons, ideally at least three persons. 8 Calculation and expression of results 8.1 Method 1 The following scale shall be used to grade the difference between the test specimen exposed to hydrogen sulphide gas and the non exposed one: 5 No change 4 Slight uniform change 3 Slight patchy change 2 Marked change -,-,- ISO 22775:2004(E) 4 © ISO 2004 All rights reserved 1 Very marked change 8.2 Method 2 The following scale shall be used to grade the difference between the test specimen exposed to salt water and the non exposed one: 5 No change 4 Slight uniform change 3 Slight patchy change or slight rusting 2 Marked change or noticeable rusting 1 Very marked change, discolouration or rusting 9 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) reference to this document, EN ISO 22775; b) test method (Method 1: sulphide tarnishing or Method 2: salt water corrosion) used; c) full description of the test specimen and its composition, including commercial codes, colours, nature, etc.; d) amount of discolouration or corrosion as grade in 8.1 or 8.2 and number of people who carried out the assessment; e) for Method 2, any staining of the cotton lawn; f) any deviation from this test method and any incident which could affect the result; g) date of testing. -,-,- ISO 22775:2004(E) ICS 61.060 Price based on 4 pages © ISO 2004 All rights reserved
