Surface active agents - Determination of low boiling solvents in liquid formulations - Gas chromatographic method

This European standard specifies a method for the determination of the content of low boiling solvents, e. g. methanol, ethanol propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol in liquid detergents.
The method is applicable to liquid detergents containing low boiling solvents in the range from 0,5 g/100 g to 10 g/100 g.

Grenzflächenaktive Stoffe - Bestimmung des Gehaltes an leichtsiedenden Lösemitteln in flüssigen Formulierungen - Gaschromatographisches Verfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Gehaltes an leichtsiedenden Lösemitteln,
z. B. Methanol, Ethanol, Propan-1-ol und Propan-2-ol, in flüssigen Detergenzien fest. Gewöhnlich ist nur ein
Lösemittel in dieser Probenart vorhanden.
Dieses Verfahren gilt für flüssige Detergenzien, die leichtsiedende Lösemittel in einem Massenanteil-Bereich
von 0,5 % bis 10 % enthalten.

Agents de surface - Détermination des solvants à faible point d'ébullition dans les formulations liquides - Méthode par chromatographie en phase gazeuse

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de détermination de la teneur en solvants à faible point d'ébullition, par exemple le méthanol, l'éthanol, le propan-1-ol et le propan-2-ol dans les détergents liquides. Généralement, un seul solvant est présent dans ce type d'échantillons.
Cette méthode est applicable aux détergents liquides contenant des solvants à faible point d'ébullition à des teneurs comprises entre 0,5 % et 10 % en masse.

Foreword
This European Standard (EN 14667:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 276 “Surface
Active Agents”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by December 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest
by December 2005.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the content of low boiling solvents, e.g.
methanol, ethanol propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol in liquid detergents. Typically only one solvent is present in these
kinds of samples.
The method is applicable to liquid detergents containing low boiling solvents in the range from 0,5 % to 10 % by
weight.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references,
only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
amendments) applies.
ISO 607, Surface active agents and detergents – Methods of sample division.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
low boiling solvent
alcohol with a boiling point below 100 °C
NOTE For example ethanol, propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol.
4 Principle
The liquid detergent is dissolved in butan-1-ol, which is a water miscible solvent with higher boiling point than the
solvents to be determined. The content of low boiling solvents is determined with gas chrom
