BS EN 13628-2:2002 Packaging - Flexible packaging material - Determination of residual solvents by static headspace gas chromatography - Industrial methods
This part of this European Standard specifies rapid methods as commonly used in quality control for monitoring the
level of residual solvents used in the production of flexible packaging by static headspace chromatography. The
procedures described in this part involve one single injection of the headspace which implies an incomplete
extraction of the solvent. The values obtained may be lower than the absolute content which should be determined
according to Part 1. Residues from thermal decomposition products are not within the scope of this standard.
The method is applicable to flexible packaging materials that may consist of mono- or multilayer plastic films, paper
or board, foil or combinations thereof.
This method does not apply to residual solvents with amounts lower than 0,5 mg/m².
