This European Standard specifies a gas chromatographic method using mass spectrometric detection for the determination of ethyl carbamate (EC) in stone fruit spirits, fruit marc spirits and other spirit drinks.
The method has been validated in an interlaboratory study for stone fruit spirits and fruit liqueurs, at levels ranging from 0,253Â mg/l to 1,11Â mg/l. However, linearity of the instrument response was proven for the concentration ranges 0,10Â mg/l to 4,0Â mg/l (simplified method) and 0,025Â mg/l to 3,0Â mg/l (procedure including sample clean-up), respectively.
