For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 11426. jewellery — Determination of gold in gold jewellery alloys — Cupellation method (fire assay) ISO 15093. jewellcry and precious metals — Determination of high purity gold, platinum and palladium — Difference method using ICP-OES 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: — ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp — IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/ 3.1 cast bar homogeneous bar produced in a mold directly from melted metal, without further metallurgical treatment after solidification, with a rectangular parallelepiped shape Note 1 to entry: Usually the cast bar is formed as a truncated pyramid to allow an easier extraction from the mold. 3.2 top surface one of the two largest surfaces of the bar, which is the last part of the bar to solidify 4 Requirements 4.1 Fineness The minimum fineness of gold bars is 995 %o. The following finenesses are acceptable: — 999,5%o; — 995%o. Fineness shall be determined by an appropriate analytical method, including, but not limited to, cupellation in accordance with ISO 11426 for fineness up to 999,5 %o and difference method using ICPOES in accordance with ISO 15093). 999,9 %o fineness shall be determined with 6 significant numbers and with 5 significant numbers for other finenesses, with no rounding up allowed. IXAMPLE 998,99 %o is marked as 995 %o, 999,896 96o is marked as 999,5 %a (or lower). 4.2 Chemical composition For a fineness of 999,9 %o, two specifications are available depending on the impurity levels, see Table 1.BS ISO 24018 pdf download.
