This document specifies two methods for the quantitative determination of phthalates in vegetable oils by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS): — Part A for the determination of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP). — Part B for the determination of eight phthalates: dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di-isobutyl phthalate (DIBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), benzylbutyl phthalate (BBP), di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), di-isononyl phthalate (DINP), di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP). Both methods are applicable for all vegetable oils, including crude, refined and virgin.

Corps gras d’origines animale et végétale — Dosage des phtalates dans les huiles végétales

Le présent document spécifie deux méthodes de quantification des phtalates dans les huiles végétales par chromatographie en phase gazeuse couplée à la spectrométrie de masse (CG-SM): — Partie A pour le dosage du phtalate de di-2-éthylhexyle (DEHP); — Partie B pour le dosage de huit phtalates: phtalate de diméthyle (DMP), phtalate de diéthyle (DEP), phtalate de di-isobutyle (DIBP), phtalate de dibutyle (DBP), phtalate de benzylbutyle (BBP), phtalate de di-2-éthylhexyle (DEHP), phtalate de di-isononyle (DINP), phtalate de di-isodécyle (DIDP). Les deux méthodes sont applicables aux huiles végétales, qu’il s’agisse d’huile brute, raffinée ou vierge.

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 document 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).

4 Part A - Determination of DEHP
4.1 Principle
Phthalates are first extracted from oil with acetonitrile followed by dispersive-solid-phase extraction
clean-up (dispersive SPE), which is done to remove organic acids, excess water and other components using
a combination of primary secondary amine (PSA) sorbent and C18 bonded phase. Finally, the extract is
concentrated and analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
4.2 Reagents
WARNING — Attention is drawn to national regulations that specify the handling of hazardous
substances, and users' obligations thereunder. Technical, organizational and personal safety
measures shall be followed.
Unless otherwise specified, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade.
4.2.1 Toluene, purity 99 % min.

4.2.2 Acetonitrile, trace organic analysis grade, purity 99 % min.
4.2.3 n-Hexane, trace organic analysis grade, purity 99 % min.
