European foreword
This document (prEN 17600:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 172 “Pulp,
paper and board”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.

1 Scope
This document describes procedures for the testing of migration of fluorescent whitening agents from
paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. The method is based on liquid
chromatography with fluorescence detection for quantification. The document is applicable to four
different types of fluorescent whitening agents, diaminostilbene hexasulfonate, diaminostilbene
tetrasulfonate, diaminostilbene disulfonate and distyrylbiphenyl.

indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

4 Symbols and abbreviated terms
For the purposes of this document, the following symbols and abbreviated terms apply.
FWA Fluorescent whitening agent
ACN Acetonitrile
DAS Diaminostilbene
5 Principle
A sample is brought into contact with glass fibre papers, which have been saturated with a test fluid and
placed under load for a given time. The test fluids are water, acetic acid 3 %, ethanol 10 % and ethanol
95 %. After short or long contact duration, fluorescent whitening agent are extracted from the glass
fibre and analysed by liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection. The four different types of
fluorescent whitening agent analysed are hexasulfonate, tetrasulfonate, disulfonate and
distyrylbiphenyl without specific separation of the fluorescent whitening agent with the same degree of
sulfonation.
6 Interferences
FWA are extremely sensitive to light. A short contact with UV light can isomerise and destroy these
compounds. Therefore, pay special attention to avoid any contact with light. In order to avoid these
interferences, work in significant darkness or use special light without UV. The flasks shall be protected
with aluminium foil.
7 Test materials and equipment
7.1 General
The used materials shall be free of FWA.
EXAMPLE Common laboratory glassware could be rinsed with water/acetonitrile 50/50 v/v before use.
7.2 Materials
The following materials shall be used.
7.2.1 Pipette of 100 µl to 1 000 µl.
7.2.2 Volumetric brown glass flasks of 50 and 100 ml.
7.2.3 Teflonlined cap brown glass vial, single use.
7.2.4 25 ml brown glass flask.
7.2.5 Whatmann or MN Glassfibre (Under testing at CTP).
7.2.6 Glass plates, 60 mm × 90 mm.
7.2.7 Polyethylene film, uncoloured and transparent.
7.2.8 Mass, 1 kg.
7.3 Apparatus
The usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following, shall be used.
7.3.1 Balance: Analytical of accurately weighting 0,000 1 g.
7.3.2 High Pressure Liquid Chromatograph.
7.3.3 Fluorescence detector.
7.3.4 Column C18: for example ODS, 250 mm × 4,6 mm, particle size 5μm, 120 Å.
7.3.5 Guard column C18: for example Hypersil ODS.
8 Reagents
Use, as far as available, reagents of analytical quality, or better. Verify by blank determinations.
8.1.1 Water for HPLC-Fluorescence detection.
8.1.2 Acetonitrile CAS n° 75-05-8.
8.1.3 Ammonium acetate CAS n° 631-61-8.
8.1.4 Distilled or deionised water.
8.1.5 Acetic acid 3 % m/v.
8.1.6 Ethanol 95 % v/v.
8.1.7 Ethanol 10 % v/v.
8.1.8 Fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs). An example of different types of fluorescent whitening
agents is given in Annex A.
9 Preparation of calibration solutions
9.1 Stock solutions of commercially available individual whitening agent at 1g/L
Prepare stock solutions of individual component by weighing about 100 mg of a whitening agent into
100 ml volumetric flask. Fill the volumetric flask with 50/50 v/v ACN/water, shake to dissolve and
dilute to the mark with the solvent. Protect the flask from light with aluminium foil. Prepare one
solution for each different types of FWA.
Stock solutions shall be stored protected from light at 4 °C and replaced after 1 week.
9.2 Individual intermediate solution of commercially available whitening agent at
10 mg/L
For each of the 4 stock solutions, transfer 1 ml into a 100 ml volumetric flask and dilute to the mark
with the solvent 50/50 v/v ACN/water. Protect the flask with aluminium foil.
The 4 individual intermediate solutions shall be freshly prepared for analysis and stored protected from
light at 4 °C.
9.3 Purity of the stock solution
The amount of active compounds shall be known from the supplier of fluorescent whitening agent.
9.4 Calibration standard solutions of fluorescent whitening agent
Five standard solutions shall be prepared by transferring respectively: 0,125 ml; 0,25 ml; 0,5 ml and
1 ml of the 4 individual intermediate solutions in 50 ml volumetric flasks and 0,1 ml of the 4 individual
intermediate solutions in a 100 ml volumetric flask and adjust the volume with the solvent. The
respective concentrations of the calibration standard solutions are: 10 µg/l; 25 µg/l; 50 µg/l; 100 µg/l
and 200 µg/l of each FWA. At the end of the preparation, the calibration standards shall be protected
from light.
The calibration solutions shall always be freshly prepared and stored
