SIST EN 12766-1:2000 - Petroleum products and used oils - Determination of PCBs and related products - Part 1: Separation and determination of selected PCB congeners by gas chromatography (GC) using an electron capture detector (ECD)

Overview

EN 12766-1:2000 is a CEN European Standard that specifies a laboratory method for the separation and determination of selected polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners in petroleum products and used oils. The method uses a defined gas chromatography (GC) separation procedure combined with an electron capture detector (ECD) to resolve up to 12 individual PCB congeners or small unresolved groups. The GC separation described in Part 1 is intended to be compatible with the quantification procedures set out in Part 2 of the standard.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Target analytes: Up to 12 individual or defined unresolved small groups of PCB congeners in petroleum and related materials.
  • Analytical technique: Gas chromatography (GC) separation with detection by electron capture detector (ECD), chosen for high sensitivity to halogenated compounds.
  • Scope of method: Focuses on chromatographic separation - sample extraction and quantification approaches are addressed in the companion Part 2.
  • Quality assurance elements: The standard requires appropriate calibration and method validation consistent with accepted laboratory practice (for example, use of calibration standards, blanks, and control samples) to ensure reliable identification and separation of congeners.
  • Applicability: Designed for diverse petroleum matrices and used oils where PCB contamination is a concern; separation parameters are specified to ensure compatibility across labs and with Part 2 quantification routines.

Applications and who uses this standard

EN 12766-1:2000 is relevant for organizations and professionals involved in PCB testing, environmental compliance, and oil quality control, including:

  • Environmental and analytical testing laboratories performing PCB screening in lubricants, hydraulic fluids and waste oils.
  • Regulatory bodies enforcing PCB limits in petroleum products and managing contaminated waste streams.
  • Oil recyclers and waste management companies screening used oils prior to processing or disposal.
  • Manufacturers of lubricants and industrial oils monitoring product purity and supplier quality.
  • Remediation contractors and environmental consultants assessing PCB contamination in oil-impacted sites.

Practical benefits include standardized GC separation that improves inter-laboratory comparability, reliable detection of PCB congeners with ECD sensitivity, and a clear framework to be paired with Part 2 quantification methods for complete analysis.

Related standards

  • EN 12766-2 (quantification procedures) - complements Part 1 by defining how separated congeners are quantified.
  • Other CEN and ISO methods for halogenated contaminants and petroleum product analysis may be used alongside EN 12766-1 for broader contaminant screening.
