Surface active agents — Determination of 1,4-dioxan residues in surfactants obtained from epoxyethane by gas chromatography

ISO 17280:2015 provides a method for the determination of 1,4-dioxane residues in surfactants which are synthesized from epoxyethane, such as alkyl ether sulfates and alcohol ethoxylates. The method is applicable for samples containing 1,4-dioxane more than 5 mg/kg. For samples containing 1,4-dioxane more than 100 mg/kg, the sample solutions should be diluted to appropriate concentration.

Agents de surface — Détermination de la teneur en résidus de 1,4-dioxane dans les agents tensioactifs obtenus à partir d'époxyéthane par chromatographie en phase gazeuse

Površinsko aktivne snovi - Določevanje ostankov 1,4-dioksana v površinsko aktivnih snoveh, pridobljenih iz epoksietana, s plinsko kromatografijo

Ta mednarodni standard podaja metodo za določevanje ostankov 1,4-dioksana v površinsko aktivnih snoveh, sintetiziranih iz epoksietana, kot so alkil eter sulfati in alkoholni etoksilati.
Metoda se uporablja za vzorce z vsebnostjo 1,4-dioksana več kot 5 mg/kg. Za vzorce z vsebnostjo 1,4-dioksana več kot 100 mg/kg je treba vzorčne raztopine razredčiti do ustrezne koncentracije.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 17280:2015(E)
Surface active agents — Determination of 1,4-dioxan
residues in surfactants obtained from epoxyethane by gas
chromatography
1 Scope
This International Standard provides a method for the determination of 1,4-dioxane residues in
surfactants which are synthesized from epoxyethane, such as alkyl ether sulfates and alcohol ethoxylates.
The method is applicable for samples containing 1,4-dioxane more than 5 mg/kg. For samples containing
1,4-dioxane more than 100 mg/kg, the sample solutions should be diluted to appropriate concentration.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 607, Surface active agents and detergents — Methods of sample division
ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use — Specification and test methods
ISO 5725-2, Accuracy (trueness and precision) of measurement methods and results — Part 2: Basic method
for the determination of repeatability and reproducibility of a standard measurement method
3 Principle
The sample is weighed into a head space vial and a calibration solution is added. The sealed vial is
placed in a head space sampling instrument and allowed to reach thermal equilibrium. A portion of the
vapour phase is then analysed by temperature programmed GC with flame ionization detection. Either
an internal standard or standard addition method of quantification are employed.
4 Reagents
During the analysis, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and the water used shall conform
to grade 3 in accordance with ISO 3696.
