This European Standard specifies a method of analysis for determining the phthalate content of aqueous, solvent and modified polyphenylene oxide (MPPO) extracts of paper, cardboard and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. food, by a gas chromatography method coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). This method is applicable to the determination of phthalates with concentrations between 0.025 mg/l and 0.5 mg/l for aqueous extracts. and solvent extracts, and between 0.002 mg/dm2 and 0.040 mg/dm2 for MPPO, migration depending on the substance considered, the volume used for
