Textiles and textile products - Organic fluorine - Part 1: Determination of non-volatile compounds by extraction method using liquid chromatography

This part of the standard specifies a test method (using liquid chromatography, LC) for detection and quantification of all extractable neutral, ionic, perfluorinated and polyfluorinated non-volatile substances in textile products (for example, in fabrics treated with fluorochemical finishes and in coated fabrics).
Classes of volatile and non volatile compounds (regulated and of concern) in Table 1 include acids, salt acids, esters, amides, telomers, sulfonates, sulfonamides and sulfonamidalcohols.

Textilien und textile Erzeugnisse - Organisches Fluor - Teil 1: Bestimmung des Gehaltes an nichtflüchtigen Verbindungen durch Extraktionsverfahren mittels Flüssigkeitschromatographie

Dieses Dokument legt ein Prüfverfahren (unter Anwendung von Flüssigkeitschromatographie, LC (en: liquid chromatography)) zum Nachweis und zur quantitativen Bestimmung von ausgewählten extrahierbaren perfluorierten und polyfluorierten Verbindungen in textilen Materialien (Fasern, Garne, textile Flächengebilde) und beschichteten textilen Flächengebilden fest.
ANMERKUNG 1 CEN/TR 16741 legt fest, welche Materialien für diese Bestimmung anzuwenden sind.
Ein Prüfverfahren (unter Anwendung von Gaschromatographie, GC (en: gas chromatography)) zum Nachweis und zur quantitativen Bestimmung von ausgewählten extrahierbaren perfluorierten und polyfluorierten Verbindungen ist in EN 17681-2 festgelegt.
ANMERKUNG 2 Sowohl dieses Dokument als auch EN 17681-2 werden für die Bestimmung und Totalisierung der PFOA verwandten Verbindungen benötigt.
Die Klassen regulierter Verbindungen sind in Tabelle 2 aufgeführt. Klassen anderer, nichtregulierter Verbindungen, die nach diesem Dokument bestimmt werden können, sind in Anhang C, Tabelle C.1, festgelegt. Dieses Dokument ist auch anzuwenden für weitere PFAS Verbindungen, vorausgesetzt, dass das Verfahren mit den zusätzlichen Verbindungen validiert wird.
ANMERKUNG 3 Die delegierte Verordnung (EU) 2020/784 der Kommission zur Änderung des Anhangs I der Verordnung (EU) 2019/1021 des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates hinsichtlich der Aufnahme von Perfluoroctansäure (PFOA), ihrer Salze und von PFOA-verwandten Verbindungen legt u. a. fest, dass „PFOA verwandte Verbindungen umfasst: ...alle Stoffe (...), die zu PFOA abgebaut werden, einschließlich aller Stoffe (auch Salze und Polymere), die eine lineare oder verzweigte Perfluorheptylgruppe mit dem Bestandteil (C7F15)C als Strukturelement aufweisen.“ Um festzustellen, ob ihre Anwesenheit beabsichtigt ist, könnte die Aufnahme eines alkalischen Hydrolyseverfahrens zur Entfernung der Seitenkette des Polymers erforderlich sein. Nach Verordnung (EU) 2021/1297 der Kommission [7] trifft dies gleichermaßen auf C9-C14 PFCA-verwandte Stoffe zu. Eine zukünftige Überarbeitung dieses Dokumentes wird diesen Gesichtspunkt berücksichtigen.

Textiles et produits textiles - Fluor organique - Partie 1 : Détermination de composés non volatils par une méthode d’extraction utilisant la chromatographie en phase liquide

Le présent document spécifie une méthode d'essai (par chromatographie en phase liquide, LC) pour la détection et la quantification, dans des matières textiles (fibres, fils, étoffes) et des supports textiles revêtus, de substances perfluorées et polyfluorées extractibles sélectionnées.
NOTE 1 Le CEN/TR 16741 définit les matériaux auxquels s'applique cette détermination.
Une méthode d'essai (par chromatographie en phase gazeuse, GC) pour la détection et la quantification de substances perfluorées et polyfluorées extractibles sélectionnées est spécifiée dans l'EN 17681-2.
NOTE 2 Le présent document et l'EN 17681-2 sont tous les deux nécessaires pour les substances apparentées au PFOA.
Les classes de composés réglementés sont répertoriées dans le Tableau 2. Les classes d'autres composés, non réglementés, qui peuvent être déterminés en appliquant le présent document sont définies dans le Tableau C.1 (Annexe C). Le présent document est également applicable à d'autres PFAS, à condition que la méthode soit validée avec les composés additionnels.
NOTE 3 Le règlement délégué (UE) 2020/784 de la Commission modifiant l'annexe I du règlement (UE) 2019/1021 concernant les polluants organiques persistants aux fins d’y inscrire l’acide perfluorooctanoïque (PFOA), ses sels et les composés apparentés au PFOA stipule, entre autres, ce qui suit : « par " composés apparentés au PFOA ", il est entendu : … toutes les substances qui se dégradent en PFOA, y compris les substances (sels et polymères compris) qui comportent, parmi leurs éléments structurels, un groupe fonctionnel perfluoroheptyle (C7F15)C linéaire ou ramifié. » Pour déterminer si leur présence est intentionnelle, il pourrait s'avérer nécessaire d'introduire une méthode d'hydrolyse alcaline pour supprimer la chaîne latérale du polymère. Conformément au règlement (UE) 2021/1297[7] de la Commission, ceci s'applique de manière similaire aux composés apparentés aux PFCA en C9-C14. Le sujet sera abordé dans une future révision du présent document.

Introduction
In the European Union, according to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 on persistent organic pollutants (POP),
Article 3, Clause 1, in connection with Annex I, amended by Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2020/784, the manufacturing, placing on the market and use of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its
salts and PFOA-related compounds, whether on their own, in mixtures or in articles, is prohibited. This
is in addition to the existing prohibition of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its derivatives (PFOS).
According to Article 4 Clause 1. (b) this does not apply in the case of a substance present as an
unintentional trace contaminant, as specified in the relevant entries of Annex I in substances, mixtures
or articles.
Annex I Part A, describing perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its derivatives (PFOS), contains the specific
exemption (Point 2) to concentrations of PFOS in semi-finished products or articles, or parts thereof, if
the concentration of PFOS is lower than 0,1 % mass fraction calculated with reference to the mass of
structurally or micro-structurally distinct parts that contain PFOS or, for textiles or other coated
2
materials, if the amount of PFOS is lower than 1 μg/m of the coated material. PFOS compounds have the
+
formula C F SO X where X = OH, Metal salt (O-M ), halide, amide and other derivatives, including
8 17 2
polymers.
In Annex I Part A, describing perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds,
contains the specific exemption (Point 1) to concentrations of PFOA or any of its salts equal to or below
0,025 mg/kg (0,000 002 5 % mass fraction), where they are present in substances, mixtures or articles.
In addition, (Point 2) Article 4(1) applies to concentrations of any individual PFOA-related compound or
a combination of PFOA-related compounds equal to or below 1 mg/kg (0,000 1 % mass fraction) where
they are present in substances, mixtures or articles.
PFOA, its salts and PFOA-related compounds means the following:
i) perfluorooctanoic acid, including any of its branched isomers;
ii) its salts;
iii) PFOA-related compounds which, for the purposes of the Convention, are any substances that degrade
to PFOA, including any substances (including salts and polymers) having a linear or branched
perfluoroheptyl group with the moiety (C F )C as one of the structural elements.
7 15
The following compounds are not included as PFOA-related compounds:
iv) C F -X, where X = F, Cl, Br;
8 17
v) fluoropolymers that are covered by CF [CF ] -R’, where R’ = any group, n > 16;
3 2 n
vi) perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (including their salts, esters, halides and anhydrides) with ≥ 8
perfluorinated carbons;
vii) perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids and perfluoro phosphonic acids (including their salts, esters, halides
and anhydrides) with ≥ 9 perfluorinated carbons;
viii) perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its derivatives (PFOS), as listed in Annex I.
As a further exemption in Annex I Part A (Point 5 c) the manufacturing, placing on the market and use of
PFOA, its salts and PFOA-related compounds is allowed in textiles for oil and water repellency for the
protection of workers from dangerous liquids that comprise risks to their health and safety, until 4 July
2023.

Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/1297 amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH), Annex
XVII [7] restricts perfluorocarboxylic acids containing 9 to 14 carbon atoms in the chain (C9-C14 PFCAs),
their salts and C9-C14 PFCA-related substances from 25 February 2023.
This restriction concerns the following substances:
Linear and branched perfluorocarboxylic acids of the formula C F -C(= O)OH where n = 8, 9, 10, 11,
n 2n+1
12, or 13 (C9-C14 PFCAs), including their salts, and any combinations thereof;
Any C9-C14 PFCA-related substance having a perfluoro group with the formula C F - directly attached
n 2n+1
to another carbon atom, where n = 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13, including their salts and any combinations
thereof;
Any C9-C14 PFCA-related substance having a perfluoro group with the formula C F - that it is not
n 2n+1
directly attached to another carbon atom, where n = 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 as one of the structural
elements, including their salts and any combinations thereof.
The following substances are excluded from this designation:
C F -X, where X = F, Cl, or Br
n 2n+1
where n = 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14, including any combinations thereof,
C F -C(= O)OX' where n > 13 and X' = any group, including salts.
n 2n+1
Several per- and poly-fluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS), which are not restricted under the POP
Regulation have been added as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) to the Candidate List according
to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH), Article 59.
Per- and poly-fluorinated compounds from C4 – C14 (PFAS) occur, for example, in soil and water repellent
finishes within textiles or can be introduced as contaminants (for example from water sources).
Categories of PFAS are shown in Table 1. Table 2 lists classes of regulated compounds (i.e. listed in a
Regulation) including acids, telomers, sulfonates and sulfonamidalcohols. Compounds of concern (i.e. not
listed yet in a Regulation) are shown in the informative Annex C.

NOTE 2 Both this document and EN 17681-2 are needed for the determination and totalization of the PFOA
related substances.
Classes of regulated compounds are listed in Table 2. Classes of other non-regulated compounds that can
be determined by this document are defined in Annex C, Table C.1. This document is also applicable for
further PFAS substances provided that the method is validated with the additional compounds.
NOTE 3 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/784 amending Annex I to the POP Regulation (EU)
2019/1021 as regards the listing of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds defines
among other that “’…PFOA-related compounds’ means the following: … any substances that degrade to PFOA,
including any substances (including salts and polymers) having a linear or branched perfluoroheptyl group with
the moiety (C F )C as one of the structural elements.” To determine whether these are intentionally present it
7 15
could be necessary to introduce an alkaline hydrolysis method to remove the side-chain from the polymer.
According to Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/1297 [7], this applies similarly to C9-C14 PFCAs-related
compounds. A future revision of this document will address this aspect.

Introduction
In the European Union, according to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 persistent organic pollutants (POP), Article
3, Clause 1, in connection with Annex I, amended by COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2020/784,
the manufacturing, placing on the market and use of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related
compounds, whether on their own, in mixtures or in articles, shall be prohibited. This is in addition to the
existing prohibition of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its derivatives (PFOS).
According to Article 4 Clause 1. (b) this shall not apply in the case of a substance present as an unintentional
trace contaminant, as specified in the relevant entries of Annex I in substances, mixtures or articles.
Annex I Part A, describing perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its derivatives (PFOS), contains the specific
exemption (Point 2) to concentrations of PFOS in semi-finished products or articles, or parts thereof, if the
concentration of PFOS is lower than 0,1 % by weight calculated with reference to the mass of structurally or
micro-structurally distinct parts that contain PFOS or, for textiles or other coated materials, if the amount of
2
PFOS is lower than 1 μg/m of the coated material. PFOS compounds have the formula C F SO X where
8 17 2
+
X = OH, Metal salt (O-M ), halide, amide and other derivatives, including polymers.
Annex I also states (point 5) that once standards are adopted by the European Committee for Standardization
(CEN) they shall be used as the analytical test methods for demonstrating the conformity of articles to point
2.
In Annex I Part A, describing perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds, contains
the specific exemption (Point 1) to concentrations of PFOA or any of its salts equal to or below 0,025 mg/kg
(0,000 002 5 % by weight) where they are present in substances, mixtures or articles. In addition, (Point 2)
Article 4(1) shall apply to concentrations of any individual PFOA-related compound or a combination of PFOA-
related compounds equal to or below 1 mg/kg (0,000 1 % by weight) where they are present in substances,
mixtures or articles.
PFOA, its salts and PFOA-related compounds means the following:
(i) perfluorooctanoic acid, including any of its branched isomers;
(ii) its salts;
(iii) PFOA-related compounds which, for the purposes of the Convention, are any substances that degrade to
PFOA, including any substances (including salts and polymers) having a linear or branched perfluoroheptyl
group with the moiety (C F )C as one of the structural elements.
7 15
The following compounds are not included as PFOA-related compounds:
(i) C F -X, where X = F, Cl, Br;
8 17
(ii) fluoropolymers that are covered by CF [CF ]n-R’, where R’ = any group, n > 16;
3 2
(iii) perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (including their salts, esters, halides and anhydrides) with ≥ 8
perfluorinated carbons;
(iv) perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids and perfluoro phosphonic acids (including their salts, esters, halides and
anhydrides) with ≥ 9 perfluorinated carbons;
(v) perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its derivatives (PFOS), as listed in Annex I.
As a further exemption in Annex I Part A (Point 5 c) the manufacturing, placing on the market and use of PFOA,
its salts and PFOA-related compounds shall be allowed in textiles for oil and water repellency for the
protection of workers from dangerous liquids that comprise risks to their health and safety, until 4 July 2023.
Several per- and poly-fluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS), which are not restricted under the POP
regulation have been added as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) to the Candidate List according to
Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH), Article 59.
