ISO 12846 IR Absorption in Glass Waste
The ISO 12846 standard provides a method to determine the infrared (IR) absorption characteristics of waste glass, which is crucial for understanding its composition and potential for recycling. This testing service evaluates the chemical and physical properties of waste glass through infrared spectroscopy, helping ensure that recycled materials meet stringent quality standards.
The process involves analyzing samples using near-infrared (NIR) or mid-infrared (MIR) spectrometers to identify the presence and concentration of various components within the glass. This information is vital for optimizing recycling processes and ensuring product consistency across different applications, such as in the production of new glass products.
Our testing service focuses on providing accurate and reliable data that can be used by quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams to make informed decisions. By adhering strictly to ISO 12846 standards, we ensure consistent results across multiple samples and environments.
The infrared absorption test is particularly useful in distinguishing between different types of glass waste, identifying contaminants that may affect the final product quality, and assessing the purity level of recycled glass. This information aids in selecting appropriate raw materials for manufacturing processes, thereby enhancing overall efficiency and sustainability.
In addition to providing detailed reports on each sample analyzed, we also offer recommendations based on our findings regarding how best to handle specific types of waste glass or improve recycling practices within facilities. Our team works closely with clients throughout the testing process to ensure they receive comprehensive support tailored specifically towards their needs and goals.

Scope and Methodology
The scope of the ISO 12846 IR Absorption in Glass Waste service includes evaluating the infrared spectral signatures of various types of waste glass using advanced spectrometric techniques. This method allows for precise quantification of key elements present within these materials, enabling accurate assessment of their suitability for recycling.
During the testing process, samples are prepared according to established protocols outlined in ISO 12846, ensuring consistency across all analyses performed. Once ready, specimens undergo non-destructive measurements using either near-infrared (NIR) or mid-infrared (MIR) spectrometers capable of detecting subtle variations indicative of different chemical compositions.
After acquiring spectra from each sample, our analysts compare the results against reference standards established by international organizations like ISO to determine whether individual lots comply with specified criteria. Acceptance criteria are based on predefined thresholds for specific absorption peaks corresponding to particular compounds found in typical waste glass streams.
