rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association and supports essential requirements of REACH (1907/2006), annex XVII,
designation 53 [1].

Introduction
For implementation of REACH (1907/2006), annex XVII, designation 53 [1] the European Commission asked
CEN to develop an European Technical Specification with test methods for measuring levels of PFOS
containing compounds in preparations, semi-finished products and articles including textile and coated
materials.
REACH (1907/2006), annex XVII, designation 53 [1] states that the substances that are under the Directive
are perfluorooctanesulfonates (PFOS), that means substances with the formula C F SO X (where X=OH,
8 17 2
Metal salt (O-M+), halide, amide and other derivatives including polymers).

1 Scope
This Technical Specification describes the determination of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) in concentrated
extracts from coated and impregnated solid articles, liquids and fire extinguishing foams using high
performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-tandemMS) or quadrupole mass
spectrometry (LC-qMS).
The method is applicable for a concentration range for PFOS in the extract solution of 0,5 µg/l to 50 µg/l.
