Water quality - Determination of selected polybrominated diphenyl ethers in sediment and sewage sludge - Method using extraction and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (ISO 22032:2006)

ISO 22032:2006 specifies a method for the determination of selected polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in sediment and sludge using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in the electron impact (EI) or negative ion chemical ionization (NCI) mode.
When using GC-EI-MS, the method is applicable to samples containing 0,05 to 25 micrograms per kilogram of tetra- to octabromo congeners and 0,3 to 100 micrograms per kilogram of decabromo diphenyl ether (BDE-209), respectively.

Wasserbeschaffenheit - Bestimmung ausgewählter polybromierter Diphenylether in Sediment und Klärschlamm - Verfahren mittels Extraktion und Gaschromatographie/Massenspektrometrie (ISO 22032:2006)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung ausgewählter polybromierter Diphenylether (PBDE) (siehe Bild 1 und Tabelle 1) in Sedimenten und Schlämmen mithilfe der Gaschromatographie und massenspektrometrischen Detektion (GC MS) nach Elektronenstoßionisierung (EI) oder negativer chemischer Ionisierung (NCI), fest.
Wird die GC EI/MS angewendet, ist das Verfahren für Proben anwendbar, die 0,05 µg/kg bis 25 µg/kg der Tetra- bis Octabromkongenere enthalten, bzw. 0,3 µg/kg bis 100 µg/kg des Decabromdiphenylethers (BDE 209). Etwa ein Zehntel dieser Konzentrationen können quantifiziert werden, wenn die GC NCI/MS verwendet wird. Das Risiko einer Fehlinterpretation durch interferierende Substanzen ist wegen der höheren Spezifität im EI Modus geringer als im NCI Modus. Auch andere polybromierte Diphenylether können nach dieser Internationalen Norm analysiert werden, jedoch sollte die Anwendbarkeit in jedem Fall überprüft werden.

L'ISO 22032:2006 spécifie une méthode de détermination d'une sélection d'éthers diphényliques polybromés (PBDE) dans les sédiments et les boues, par chromatographie en phase gazeuse/spectrométrie de masse (CG/SM) avec ionisation par impact électronique (EI) ou ionisation chimique négative (NCI).
Dans le cas de la CG-EI-SM, la méthode s'applique à des échantillons contenant de 0,05 microgrammes par kilogramme à 25 microgrammes par kilogramme de congénères tétrabromés à octabromés et de 0,3 microgrammes par kilogramme à 100 microgrammes par kilogramme d'éther diphénylique décabromé (BDE-209), respectivement.

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 22032 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 2, Physical,

Introduction
The user should be aware that particular problems could require the specification of additional marginal
conditions.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 22032:2006(E)

Water quality — Determination of selected polybrominated
diphenyl ethers in sediment and sewage sludge — Method
using extraction and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry
WARNING — Persons using this International Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory
practice. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with
its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to
ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.
IMPORTANT — It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this standard be carried
out by suitably trained staff.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of selected polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDE) (see Figure 1 and Table 1) in sediment and sludge using gas chromatography/mass
spectrometry (GC-MS) in the electron impact (EI) or negative ion chemical ionization (NCI) mode.
When using GC-EI-MS, the method is applicable to samples containing 0,05 µg/kg to 25 µg/kg of tetra- to
octabromo congeners and 0,3 µg/kg to 100 µg/kg of decabromo diphenyl ether (BDE-209), respectively.
Approximately ten times lower concentrations can be quantified when using GC-NCI-MS. The risk of
misinterpretation of interfering substances is smaller with EI due to its higher specificity. It is also possible to
analyse other brominated diphenyl ethers according to this International Standard, after verifying its
applicability in each case.
