Construction products: Assessment of release of dangerous substances - Determination of the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) - Gas chromatographic method with mass spectrometric detection
This document describes two methods for determining the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and one method for determining the content of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) with gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC-MS).
See Annex A (normative) for lists of PAH and BTEX that can be determined with this document.
This document is intended to be used for construction products.
In a number of cases additional analysis with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) can be necessary to determine a number of compounds. To determine PAH multiple liquid-liquid extraction is used to remove interfering compounds, e.g. maltenes. The tests that led to this document were carried out on different types of roofing material, bitumen and bituminous binders as well as asphalt including one tar containing asphalt (see [Van De Weghe at el., 2018] and [García-Ruiz et al., 2020]).
The detectability limit of the methods for individual compounds in roofing material, asphalt and tar containing asphalt for PAH is 0,5 mg/kg to 1,5 mg/kg and for BTEX 0,1 mg/kg.
Bauprodukte: Bewertung der Freisetzung von gefährlichen Stoffen - Bestimmung des Gehalts an polyzyklischen aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen (PAK) und an Benzol, Toluol, Ethylbenzol und Xylol (BTEX) - Gas-chromatographisches Verfahren mit massenspektrometrischer Detektion
Dieses Dokument beschreibt zwei Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Gehalts an polyzyklischen aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen (PAK) und ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung des Gehalts an Benzol, Toluol, Ethylbenzol und Xylolen (BTEX) mit Gaschromatographie mit massenspektrometrischer Detektion (GC MS).
Anhang A (normativ) enthält Listen von PAK und BTEX, die mit diesem Dokument bestimmt werden können.
Dieses Dokument ist zur Verwendung für Bauprodukte vorgesehen.
In mehreren Fällen kann eine zusätzliche Analyse mit Hochleistungsflüssigkeitschromatographie erforderlich sein, um eine Reihe von Verbindungen zu bestimmen. Zur Bestimmung von PAK wird eine mehrfache Flüssig-Flüssig-Extraktion verwendet, um störende Verbindungen, wie Maltene, zu entfernen. Die Prüfungen, die zu diesem Dokument geführt haben, wurden an verschiedenen Arten von Dachbahnen, Bitumen und bitumenhaltigen Bindemitteln sowie Asphalt, einschließlich einem teerhaltigen Asphalt, durchgeführt (siehe [Van De Weghe et al., 2018] und [García-Ruiz et al., 2020]).
Die Nachweisgrenze der Verfahren für einzelne Verbindungen in Dachbahnen, Asphalt und teerhaltigem Asphalt liegt für PAK bei 0,5 mg/kg bis 1,5 mg/kg und für BTEX bei 0,1 mg/kg.

Le présent document décrit deux méthodes permettant de déterminer la teneur en hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP) et une méthode permettant de déterminer la teneur en benzène, toluène, éthylbenzène et xylènes (BTEX) par chromatographie en phase gazeuse avec détection par spectrométrie de masse (CG-MS).
Voir l'Annexe A (normative) pour une liste des HAP et BTEX pouvant être déterminés à l'aide du présent document.
Le présent document est destiné à être utilisé pour les produits de construction.
Dans certains cas, une analyse supplémentaire par chromatographie liquide à haute performance (HPLC) peut être nécessaire pour déterminer un certain nombre de composés. Pour déterminer les HAP, une extraction liquide-liquide multiple est utilisée afin d'éliminer les interférents, par exemple les maltènes. Les essais conduisant à l'élaboration du présent document ont été réalisés sur différents types de matériaux de couverture, bitumes et liants bitumineux ainsi que d'asphalte, y compris un goudron contenant de l'asphalte (voir [Van De Weghe at el., 2018] et [García-Ruiz et al., 2020]).
La limite de détectabilité des méthodes pour les composés individuels de matériaux de couverture, d'asphalte et de goudron contenant de l'asphalte est de 0,5 mg/kg à 1,5 mg/kg pour les HAP et de 0,1 mg/kg pour les BTEX.

Ta dokument podaja metodi za določanje vsebnosti policikličnih aromatskih ogljikovodikov (PAH) in metodo za določanje benzena, toluena, etilbenzena in ksilena (BTEX) s plinsko kromatografijo z masno spektrometrično detekcijo (GC-MS).

Ta dokument je namenjen za uporabo za gradbene proizvode.
V številnih primerih bo mogoče treba izvesti dodatno analizo s tekočinsko kromatografijo visoke ločljivost (HPLC)
za določanje števila spojin. Za določanje policikličnih aromatskih ogljikovodikov se uporablja večkratna ekstrakcija tekočina-tekočina
za odstranjevanje motilnih spojin, npr. maltenov. Preskusi, ki so privedli do tega dokumenta, so bili opravljeni na različnih vrstah strešnih materialov, bitumnu in bitumenskih vezivih ter na asfaltu, vključno s katranskim asfaltom (glej [Van De Weghe et al., 2018] in [García-Ruiz et al., 2020]).
Meja zaznavnosti metod za posamezne spojine v strešnem materialu, asfaltu in katranskem
asfaltu za policiklične aromatske ogljikovodike je od 0,5 mg/kg do 1,5 mg/kg, za benzen, toluen, etilbenzen in ksilen pa 0,1 mg/kg.

Introduction
This document deals with the determination of the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)
and of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) with gas chromatography with mass
spectrometric detection (GC-MS). NEN 7331 has been used as basis.
This document is intended to be used for construction products and is suitable for determining:
— the full suite PAH, including the EPA-PAH series ([EPA 8100]);
— six BTEX.
In some cases, additional analysis with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) can be
necessary to determine a number of compounds.
The methods described have been subjected to robustness validation [Van De Weghe et al., 2018]. The
detectability limit of the methods for individual compounds in construction products for PAH is
0,5 mg/kg to 1,5 mg/kg and for BTEX 0,1 mg/kg.
This document is part of a modular horizontal approach and belongs to the analytical step. An overview
of all modules which belong to a chain of measurement and the manner how modules are selected is given
in CEN/TR 16220.
In the growing amount of product and sector-oriented test methods it was recognized that many steps in
test procedures are or could be used in test procedures for many products, materials and sectors. It was
supposed that, by careful determination of these steps and selection of specific
