Beschichtungsstoffe - Bestimmung des Gehaltes an flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (VOC-Gehalt) - Teil 2: Gaschromatographisches Verfahren (ISO 11890-2:2013); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 11890-2:2013
Overview
This part of ISO 11890 specifies a method for the determination of the volatile organic compound (VOC) content of paints, varnishes and their raw materials. This part is preferred if the expected VOC content is greater than 0,1 % by mass and less than about 15 % by mass. When the VOC content is greater than about 15 % by mass, the less complicated method given in ISO 11890-1 may be used. This method assumes that the volatile matter is either water or organic. However, other volatile inorganic compounds can be present and might need to be quantified by another suitable method and allowed for in the calculations. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 002-00-02 AA "Lackrohstoffe" ("Raw materials for paints and varnishes") at DIN.
