1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of vinyl chloride monomer in
homopolymer and copolymer resins of vinyl chloride and compounded materials. The method
is based on sample dissolution and headspace gas chromatography. Concentrations of
vinyl chloride in the range 0,1 mg/kg to 3,0 mg/kg can be determined.
