To provide a fluorinated elastic
copolymer in which the contents of
metal elements and
chloride ions are low, and a method for producing a fluorinated elastic
copolymer, whereby it is possible to obtain a fluorinated elastic
copolymer in which the contents of
metal elements and
chloride ions are low. A fluorinated elastic copolymer in which the content of
metal elements is at most 20.0 ppm by
mass and the content of
chloride ions is at most 1 ppm by
mass; and a method for producing a fluorinated elastic copolymer, which comprises coagulating a fluorinated elastic copolymer in a latex containing the fluorinated elastic copolymer by using an acid containing no metal elements or no chloride ions, and washing the coagulated fluorinated elastic copolymer with a
liquid medium having a content of metal elements of at most 2.0 ppm by
mass and a content of chloride ions of at most 2 ppm by mass.
