19、n 10 mL ofTHF. 10 L of the THF solution are analyzed using TD-GC/MS. Phthalates are identified by their retention times and theirmass spectra. Quantification is based on the area of a desig-nated quant ion (SIM or full scan)see Table 1. Standardaddition is the calibration method.NOTE 3Standard addit

20、ion calibration will negate matrix interference.It also takes into account the overall performance of the instrumentationat the time the samples are analyzed.5.

Regulations include: EUDirective 2005/84/EC,USConsumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 section 108, JapanHealth, Labor and Welfare Ministryguideline No. 336 (2010) and IEC 62321-8:2017. These testmethods provide a procedure to ide

22、ntify and quantify phtha-lates in PVC.5.2 Other techniques successfully used to separate andidentify phthalates in PVC include GC/MS, HPLC/UV, HPLC/MS, FTIR, and GC/FID (flame ionization detector).6. Interferences6.1 Retention times for GC are dependent on several vari-ables and it is possible to ha

23、ve two or more components withidentical retention times. The analyst shall take the necessarysteps to make certain that adequate separation of the plasticizercomponents is achieved or the ions used to monitor for a targetphthalate are free of interference. This includes but is notlimited to changing

24、 the selectivity of the chromatographiccolumn and the thermal profile of the column during analysis.Calibration by standard addition helps to minimize interfer-ences.6.2 When using a TDGC/MS method, care must be taken toensure that the sample cups are clean. Recent experimentationindicates that equi

25、valent results are obtained using sample cupsmade of clean “untreated” stainless steel, glass or deactivatedstainless steel. The cleanliness of the cup surface is moreimportant than the chemistry of the cup material itself.Any andall solvents and chemware used to prepare standards andsample solution

This is discussed in more detail in Appendix X2.NOTE 7It is possible that the solution will contain inorganic material.Studies have shown that the presence of insoluble inorganic material willnot affect either the accu

46、ram of the sample (Solu-tion #2, 10.3) needs to be similar to that presented in AppendixX1. The thermal zone normally will not vary from sample-to-sample; thus, EGA need not be performed on every sample inthe batch.

48、 chromatograms of both the quantand confirming ions and the ion area ratios as indicated inTable 1. Phthalate quantitation is based upon the peak areas ofthe quant ions listed in Table 1. The assumption being made isthat the sole source of the quant ion at a predeterminedretention time is the phthal

49、ate. Use the peak area of the quantion can be used to accurately determine the amount of thephthalate.11.5 If using selected ion monitoring (SIM), peak identifi-cation is based solely on the presence or absence of the quantion and the two confirming ions at predetermined retentiontimes. Quantitation is based on the area of the quant ion.11.6 When DINP and DIDP are both present in a sample orstandard, use m/z 127 as a qualifying ion for DINPand m/z
