Full title and description

ISO 10058-3:2008 — Chemical analysis of magnesite and dolomite refractory products (alternative to the X‑ray fluorescence method) — Part 3: Flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP‑AES). Available in English and French; published by the International Organization for Standardization and offered in PDF and paper formats.

Abstract

ISO 10058-3:2008 specifies FAAS and ICP‑AES methods for the chemical analysis of magnesite and dolomite refractory products and their raw materials as an alternative to X‑ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques. The standard defines principles for sample preparation, measurement and reporting to ensure reproducible laboratory results.

Scope

Defines laboratory methods using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP‑AES) for determining the chemical composition of magnesite and dolomite refractory products and raw materials. The scope covers method principles, required apparatus and reagents, sample preparation and digestion, calibration and measurement procedures, calculations, expression of results and reporting to support quality control and specification verification as an alternative to XRF-based approaches.

Key topics and requirements

• FAAS and ICP‑AES analytical procedures for analysis of magnesite and dolomite refractories.
• Sample preparation and digestion techniques appropriate to refractory matrices.
• Calibration, standards and method performance (precision, detection limits and QA/QC practices).
• Calculation and expression of analytical results and required reporting elements.
• Guidance on use of these wet‑chemistry/instrumental methods as an alternative to XRF screening.

These topics reflect the standard's focus on providing reproducible, laboratory‑grade chemical measurement procedures for refractory materials.

Typical use and users

Used by testing and quality‑control laboratories, refractory product manufacturers, mineral processors, purchasers specifying material composition, and research bodies assessing magnesite/dolomite raw materials and products. Laboratories adopt these methods where instrumental wet‑chemistry (FAAS/ICP‑AES) is required or preferred over XRF for specific analytes or matrix considerations.

Related standards

ISO 10058-3:2008 is part of the broader ISO 10058 series (which includes related parts that together replace the earlier ISO 10058:1992). It has also been adopted/endorsed in several regional/national versions (for example BS EN ISO 10058‑3:2008 and UNE‑EN ISO 10058‑3:2008). For implementation, users often consider the companion parts of ISO 10058 and relevant national adoption documents.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10058-3:2008 is an international standard that specifies FAAS and ICP‑AES laboratory methods for the chemical analysis of magnesite and dolomite refractory products and raw materials.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers analytical technique descriptions (FAAS and ICP‑AES), recommended sample preparation and digestion, calibration and measurement procedures, calculation and expression of results, and reporting requirements as an alternative to XRF screening methods.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Testing/analytical laboratories, refractory manufacturers, mineral suppliers, procurement and quality managers, and academic or industrial researchers working with magnesite and dolomite materials.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The ISO catalogue shows ISO 10058-3:2008 as published in 2008 and later confirmed in ISO’s systematic reviews (most recently confirmed in 2023), so the 2008 edition remains the current international text. National/adopted versions (EN/BS/UNE) exist for regional use.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10058 is a multi‑part series addressing chemical analysis of magnesite and dolomite refractory products; ISO 10058-3:2008 is Part 3 and works alongside the other parts that, together, updated the earlier ISO 10058:1992.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: magnesite; dolomite; refractory; FAAS; ICP‑AES; chemical analysis; XRF alternative; ISO 10058‑3; quality control.
