1 Scope
This document describes a method for the determination of VOC and/or SVOC content by gas chromatography:
This document applies to applications where the expected VOC and/or SVOC content is greater than 0:01% (mass fraction) and less than or equal to 100% (mass fraction):
Determination of VOC and SVOC content of several):
When the VOC content is greater than 15% (mass fraction), the method specified in ISO 11890-1 is used for measurement: According to ISO 11890-1
The measured VOC content may be affected by SVOC: Therefore, when the system contains VOC and SVOC, this document should be used:
(GB/T 23986:2) determination: When the VOC content is less than 0:1% (mass fraction), the headspace method described in ISO 17895 can also be selected:
Determination: ISO 11890-1 and ISO 17895 cannot be used to determine SVOC content:
Note 1: Some components of coatings and their raw materials may decompose during the analysis process, thereby producing artificial VOC and/or SVOC signals: Measuring paint
When measuring VOCs and/or SVOCs of their raw materials, these signals are artifacts produced by the method and will not be taken into account (see Appendix A for examples):
This method assumes that the volatile substance is water or organic matter, but there may also be other volatile inorganic substances: These inorganic substances may
Other suitable methods need to be used for quantification and taken into account in calculations: The methods specified in this document do not apply to moisture content
Determination:
Note 2: If there are organic acids or organic bases and their corresponding salts in the coating and its raw materials, this method may be used due to changes in the acid-base balance:
The results obtained by quantification are inaccurate:
