This International Standard specifies the technique for the determination of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) in plastics of electrotechnical products.
The liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) test methods are described in the normative part of this standard. The LC-MS methods are suitable for the determination of TBBPA in plastics of electrotechnical products. A method using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is given in informative Annex A.
These test methods have been evaluated for use with EPS (expanded polystyrene), XPS (extruded polystyrene), PP(Polypropylene), Epoxy and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) within concentrations ranging from 30 mg/kg to 100 000 mg/kg. The use of these methods for other types of materials or concentration ranges outside those specified above have not been evaluated.
This document is a basic environment horizontal publication focusing on test methods and is primarily intended for use by committees in the preparation of publications within the area of environment in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 123. Wherever applicable, it is the responsibility of committees to make use of environment basic publications in the preparation of their environment group and product publications. Committees can apply this document directly to products when they do not develop a product publication in the area of environment.
