1 Scope
This International Standard establishes criteria for the purity of photographic-grade anhydrous sodium metabisulfite and specifies the tests to be used to determine the purity.
2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. ISO 1 0349-1 :1 992, Photography— Photographic-grade chemicals — Test methods — Part 1: General. ISO 1 0349-5:1 992, Photography — Photographic-grade chemicals — Test methods — Part 5: Determination of heavymetals andiron content.

3 General
3.1 Physical properties Anhydrous sodium metabisulfite (Na 2 S 2 O 5 ) exists as a white or pale-cream granular powder. It has a relative molecular mass of 1 90,1 0. 3.2 Hazardous properties Anhydrous sodium metabisulfite is not hazardous when handled with normal precautions. Avoid contact with acids. 3.3 Storage Anhydrous sodium metabisulfite shall be stored in a closed container at room temperature.
4 Requirements
A summary of the requirements is shown in Table 1 .
5 Reagents and glassware
All reagents, materials and glassware shall conform to the requirements specified in ISO 1 0349-1 unless otherwise noted. The hazard warning symbols, used as a reminder in those steps detailing handling operations, are defined in ISO 1 0349-1 . These symbols are used to provide information to the user and are not meant to provide conformance with hazardous labelling requirements, as these vary from country to country.
6 Sampling
See ISO 1 0349-1 .
7.1.4.1 Back-titration method Using a pipette (7.1 .3.2), transfer 50,00 ml of the iodine solution (7.1 .2.5) to a glass-stoppered flask. Weigh, to the nearest 0,000 1 g, a test portion of about 0,23 g and wash this into the flask. Add 5 ml of the acetic acid (7.1 .2.2) and mix to ensure complete dissolution of the sample. Using a burette (7.1 .3.1 ), titrate with the sodium thiosulfate solution (7.1 .2.8), adding 2 ml of the starch indicator (7.1 .2.7) just before the endpoint. Weigh, to the nearest 0,001 g, another test portion of about 5 g. Dissolve it in 50 ml of water and add 50 ml of the neutral formaldehyde (7.1 .2.1 2). Add a few drops of the phenolphthalein indicator (7.1 .2.1 1 ) and, using a burette (7.1 .3.1 ), titrate with the sulfuric acid (7.1 .2.9) to the colour change. 7.1.4.2 Direct-titration method Weigh, to the nearest 0,000 1 g, a test portion of about 0,1 2 g. Using a pipette (7.1 .3.2), transfer 50,00 ml of the iodine solution (7.1 .2.5) to a completely dry 250 ml beaker that contains a magnetic stirring bar (7.1 .3.3). While stirring the iodine solution in the beaker, add the test portion to the centre of the beaker using a camel-hair brush. Avoid contact of the sample with the sides of the beaker. If the iodine is not decolourized after addition of the sample, discard the trial and restart the procedure. If necessary, increase the test portion by 0,01 g. Wash down the side walls of the beaker using about 2 ml of the starch indicator (7.1 .2.7). Using a burette (7.1 .3.1 ), immediately titrate with the iodine solution to the first permanent light-purple colour. Wash any iodine solution remaining on the burette tip into the solution with deionized water. If the titration volume exceeds 4 ml, repeat the test as this can result in test results lower than the actual assay. Adjust the sample appropriately. Weigh, to the nearest 0,001 g, another test portion of about 5 g.
