PD CEN/TS 15968:2010 PDF

Scope: This Technical Specification describes the determination of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) in concentrated extracts from coated and impregnated solid articles, liquids and fire extinguishing foams using high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-tandemMS) or quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-qMS). The method is applicable for a concentration range for PFOS in the extract solution of 0,5 µg/l to 50 µg/l. WARNING Persons using this Technical Specification should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This Technical Specification does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. IMPORTANT It is absolutely essential that tests conducted in accordance with this Technical Specification be carried out by suitably qualified staff.
