Paints and varnishes - Determination of the volatile organic compound content of low-VOC emulsion paints (in-can VOC) (ISO 17895:2005)

ISO 17895:2005 specifies a gas-chromatographic method of quantitatively determining the volatile organic compound (VOC) content (i.e. the content of organic compounds with boiling points up to 250 °C) under standard conditions (101,325 kPa) of low VOC content emulsion paints (in-can VOC). The method is applicable to VOC contents between 0,01 % and 0,1 % (by mass).
The main purpose of the method is to qualify low-VOC emulsion paints, not routine quality control.

Beschichtungsstoffe - Bestimmung des Gehaltes an flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen in wasserverdünnbaren Dispersionsfarben (In-can VOC) (ISO 17895:2005)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein gaschromatographisches Verfahren zur quantitativen Bestimmung des Gehaltes an flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (VOC-Gehalt) (d. h. mit einem Siedepunkt (oder Siede¬beginn) von höchstens 250 C) bei normalen Druckbedingungen (1013,25 hPa) in wasserverdünnbaren Dispersionsfarben fest (In-can VOC). Sie ist für VOC-Gehalte zwischen 0,01 % und 0,1 % (Massenanteil) anwendbar.
Der hauptsächliche Zweck dieses Verfahrens ist es, wasserverdünnbare Dispersionsfarben mit niedrigem VOC-Gehalt zu qualifizieren, es dient jedoch nicht zur routinemäßigen Qualitätskontrolle.

Peintures et vernis - Détermination du contenu en composés organiques volatiles dans des peintures en émulsion à faible teneur en COV (COV en récipient) (ISO 17895:2005)

L'ISO 17895:2005 spécifie une méthode par chromatographie en phase gazeuse permettant de déterminer quantitativement la teneur en composés organiques volatils (COV), c'est-à-dire la teneur en composés organiques ayant un point d'ébullition inférieur ou égal à 250 °C, dans des conditions normalisées (101,325 kPa) de peintures émulsions à faible teneur en COV (COV en emballage). Cette méthode est applicable à des teneurs en COV situées entre 0,01 % et 0,1 % (en masse).
Le principal objectif de cette méthode est la qualification des peintures émulsions à faible teneur en COV et non le contrôle régulier de la qualité.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 17895:2005(E)
Introduction
The requirements imposed today by authorities, for health and environmental reasons, include the
assessment of the content of residual monomers and organic saturated volatiles, sometimes down to minute
traces.
This International Standard is one of a series of standards dealing with the VOC content of paints, varnishes
and related products: ISO 11890-1 (see the Bibliography) specifies a method for determining VOC contents
greater than 15 % (by mass), ISO 11890-2 is applicable to VOC contents between 0,1 % and 15 % (by mass).
This International Standard describes a method for determining VOC contents between 0,01 % and 0,1 % (by
mass). In contrast to ISO 11890-1 and ISO 11890-2, this standard is applicable to volatile organic compounds
with boiling points up to 250 °C.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 17895:2005(E)

Paints and varnishes — Determination of the volatile organic
compound content of low-VOC emulsion paints (in-can VOC)
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a gas-chromatographic method of quantitatively determining the volatile
organic compound (VOC) content (i.e. the content of organic compounds with boiling points up to 250 °C)
under standard conditions (101,325 kPa) of low VOC content emulsion paints (in-can VOC). The method is
applicable to VOC contents between 0,01 % and 0,1 % (by mass).
The main purpose of the method is to qualify low-VOC emulsion paints, not routine quality control.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
volatile organic compound
VOC
any organic liquid and/or solid that evaporates spontaneously at the prevailing temperature and pressure of
the atmosphere with which it is in contact
NOTE 1 As to current usage of the term VOC in the field of coating materials, see volatile organic compound content
(VOC content).
NOTE 2 Under U.S. government legislation, the term VOC is restricted solely to those compounds that are
photochemically active in the atmosphere (see ASTM D 3960). Any other compound is then defined as being an exempt
compound.
[ISO 4618]
ISO 17895:2005(E)
3.2
volatile organic compound content
VOC content
mass of the volatile organic compounds present in a coating material, as determined under specified
conditions
NOTE The properties and the amounts of compounds to be taken into account will depend on the field of application
of the coating material. For each field of application, the limiting values and the methods of determination or calculation
1)
are stipulated by regulations or by agreement.
[ISO 4618]
3.3
in-can VOC
volatile organic compound present in a water-based emulsion paint
3.4
emulsion paint
latex paint
coating material in which the organic binder is an aqueous dispersion
[ISO 4618]
3.5
full evaporation
method of transferring the VOCs in a liquid sample from the liquid to the vapour phase
NOTE Although a headspace injector with septum-sealable vials is used for introduction of a test portion of the
vapour phase into the chromatographic column, the full evaporation method differs substantially from conventional
headspace analysis in which equilibrium is established. Since the vial contains very small amounts of sample, virtually all
[3]
the VOCs enter the vapour phase when heated to a certain temperature .
3.6
stock reference compound mixture
mixture prepared from pure substances for use in the standard addition method
NOTE The concentration of the stock reference compound mixture is determined by the initial masses of the
individual components in th
