Determination of certain substances in electrotechnical products - Part 8: Phthalates in polymers by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using a pyrolyzer/thermal desorption accessory (Py-TD-GC-MS)
Abstract
This part of IEC 62321 specifies two normative and two informative techniques for the determination of specific phthalates in polymers of electrotechnical products. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and the GC-MS using a pyrolyser/thermal desorption (TD) techniques are described in the normative part of this document. These two test methods using GC-MS and Py/TD-GC-MS have been evaluated by the test of polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), paint, rubber and adhesive materials containing individual phthalates between ~450 mg/kg to 30 000 mg/kg as depicted in the parts of this document. The use of the four methods described in this document for other polymer types, phthalate compounds or concentration ranges other than those specified above has not been specifically evaluated.
