This standard describes methods for the quantitative determination of residual solvents in flexible packaging by dynamic headspace chromatography where the chemical identities of the residual solvents to be determined are known before commencing the analysis. 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 multiplayer 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.
