Review of the Progress in International Standardization of Rare Earth Recycling and Analysis Methods

 


On January 31, the Korean Standards Association visited the Korea Basic Science Institute to assess the progress of rare earth standardization since the establishment of the "Rare Earth International Standardization Strategy."


In line with the strategy, the Korean Standards Association is actively working on developing five international standards related to rare earths. These include methods for quantitative analysis, characterization methods, and labeling requirements for rare earth recycling. The proposals for these standards were presented at the International Organization for Standardization Technical Committee 298 (ISO/TC 298) meeting held in Incheon in October.

 

The standardization of rare earth quantitative analysis and inductively coupled plasma characterization methods proposed by South Korea as international standards is expected to enhance accuracy and utility, particularly in advanced industries such as semiconductors. Additionally, standardizing product information and ingredient labeling for rare earth-containing products will contribute to establishing a recycling system within the rare earth supply chain, supporting the overall ecosystem of the rare earth industry in South Korea.

 

The Korean Standards Association plans to expand standardization initiatives beyond rare earth utilization, monitoring progress in international standard proposals (NP) related to rare earths and considering future applications in industries like mobility and aerospace.
