Adhesives - Short term method for measuring the emission properties of low-solvent or solvent-free adhesives after application - Part 2: Determination of volatile organic compounds

EN 13999-2 specifies a method for the determination of single volatile organic compounds (VOC) and of the total amount of volatile organic compounds (TVOCEN 13999) in the exhaust air of an emission test chamber after application of a low-solvent or solvent-free adhesive as defined in EN 923:2005+A1:2008. The method is based on use of a solid sorbent with subsequent desorption and gas chromatographic analysis. The method is applicable to measurement of non-polar and slightly polar VOC.

Klebstoffe - Kurzzeit-Verfahren zum Messen der Emissionseigenschaften von lösemittelarmen oder lösemittelfreien Klebstoffen nach der Applikation - Teil 2: Bestimmung flüchtiger organischer Verbindungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung einzelner flüchtiger organischer Verbindungen (VOC – volatile organic compounds) und des Gesamtgehaltes an flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen in der Abluft einer Emissionsprüfkammer nach der Applikation eines Klebstoffes (TVOCEN 13999) fest, wie in EN 923:2005+A1:2008 beschrieben. Das Verfahren beruht auf der Verwendung eines festen Sorptionsmittels mit anschließender Desorption und gaschromatographischer Analyse. Das Verfahren gilt für die Messung von unpolaren und schwach polaren flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (VOC).

Adhésifs - Méthode de mesurage rapide des caractéristiques émissives des adhésifs à teneur faible ou nulle en solvants après application - Partie 2: Dosage des composés organiques volatils

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode permettant de déterminer la présence de composés organiques volatils spécifiques (COV) et la quantité totale de composés organiques volatils (COV totauxEN13999) dans l’air d’évacuation d’une chambre d’essai d’émission après application d’un adhésif à teneur faible ou nulle en solvants tel que défini dans l’EN 923:2005+A1:2008. Cette méthode repose sur l’utilisation d’un sorbant solide suivie d’une désorption et d’une analyse par chromatographie en phase gazeuse. Elle s’applique au mesurage des COV non polaires et légèrement polaires.

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are retained by the sorbent tube, which is subsequently analysed in the laboratory. The VOC are desorbed from the sampling tube and transferred by a flow of inert carrier gas into a capillary gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometric detector (MS) and to a flame ionisation detector (FID) or only to a mass spectrometric detector. 4 Reagents and materials 4.1 Volatile organic compounds for calibration Compounds of gas chromatographic grade. 4.2 Methanol Methanol of gas chromatographic grade.

EN 13999-2:2013 (E) 5 4.3 Sorbent material For general purpose, poly(2,6-diphenyl-p-phenylene oxide, particle size (0,18 to 0,25) mm i.e. (60 to 80) mesh (Tenax1) TA [1] or equivalent sorbent materials) shall be used. For the determination of very volatile carcinogenic organic compounds (e.g. vinyl chloride), Carbopack X 1) or equivalent sorbent materials as described in EN ISO 16017-1 shall be used. 4.4 Carrier gas Helium, argon or nitrogen with a purity 99,999 % or better. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Sorbent tubes Sorbent tubes made from stainless steel or glass that can be filled with at least 200 mg of Tenax TA sorbent (4.3) are used. For example, tubes with 6 mm external diameter, 5 mm internal diameter and 90 mm long fulfil the requirement and are used in many commercial thermal desorbing devices. It is recommended to use unsilanised glass wool or other suitable mechanism, e.g. stainless steel frit to retain the sorbent in the tube and metal screw caps and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ferrules for closing the sorbent tube. Carbopack X (4.3) or equivalent tubes are filled as described in EN ISO 16017-1. 5.2 Sorbent tube unions Two sorbent tubes may be connected in series during sampling with metal screw cap couplings with PTFE ferrules. 5.3 Syringes A precision 10 µl liquid syringe readable to 0,1 µl. 5.4 Sampling pump The pump shall fulfil the requirements of EN 1232 or equivalent. 5.5 Tubing PE [poly(ethylene)] or PTFE tubing of appropriate diameter to ensure a leak-proof fit to both pump and sample tube. Sampling tubes shall not be used with plastic tubing other than PTFE upstream of the sorbent to avoid interference from contaminants. 5.6 Flow meter calibrator Bubble meter or other appropriate suitable device for gas flow calibration. 5.7 Gas chromatograph A capillary gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometric detector and to a flame ionisation detector or only to a mass spectrometric detector shall be used in accordance with EN ISO 16017-1 and ISO 16000-6.

EN 13999-2:2013 (E) 6 5.8 Thermal desorption apparatus Apparatus for two-stage thermal desorption of sorbent tubes and transfer of desorbed vapours via an inert gas flow into a gas chromatograph is required. A typical apparatus contains a mechanism for holding the tubes to be desorbed whilst they are heated and purged simultaneously with inert carrier gas. The desorption temperature and time is adjustable, as is the carrier gas flow rate. The apparatus may also incorporate additional features, such as automatic sample tube loading, leak testing, and a cold trap or another suitable device to concentrate the desorbed sample. The desorbed sample, contained in the purge gas, is routed to the gas chromatograph and capillary column via a heated transfer line. 5.9 Injection facility for preparing standards by liquid spiking Use a commercially available unit for preparation of calibration standards or any other device allowing reproducible preparation of calibration standards. 5.10 Emission test chamber An emission test chamber as described in EN 13999-1 or in EN ISO 16000-9 shall be used. 6 Procedure 6.1 Preparation of sampling tubes 6.1.1 Preconditioning Use commercially pre-cleaned sampling tubes containing Tenax TA or sampling tubes that are preconditioned and filled in the laboratory as described for Tenax TA in this clause. For special purposes such as determination of specific carcinogenic volatile organic compounds as foreseen in EN 13999-1, other sorbent materials as described in EN ISO 16017-1 can be taken. Remove trace impurities of manufactured Tenax TA before using it for VOC sampling. The success of the cleaning procedure is checked by performing analysis of the blank sorbent. Tube blanks are acceptable if no individual interfering artefact peaks exceed 2 ng and if TVOC levels do not exceed 20 ng after subtraction of non-interfering VOC artefacts. NOTE Usually keeping the tubes at a temperature of (320 ± 10) °C for at least 3 h using carrier gas flow of 50 ml/min to 100 ml/min is sufficient. Pack one end of the sampling tubes with unsilanised glass wool or stainless steel gauze. Weigh the appropriate amount of adsorbent. Transfer the adsorbent into the tube e.g. using suction. Prior to storage or conditioning seal the open end of the tube in the same manner as was done with the other end. To maintain the sorption capacity of the sampling tube, use no less than 200 mg of sorbent per tube. 6.1.2 Conditioning Recondition the pre-cleaned sampling tubes prior to each use at temperature of (320 ± 10) °C for 30 min (Tenax TA) under inert carrier gas flow of 50 ml/min to 100 ml/min to remove trace organic volatiles possibly trapped on the tube. Analyse the tubes, using routine analytical parameters, to ensure that the thermal desorption blank is sufficiently small. If the blank is unacceptable, repeat the conditioning procedure. The tube blank is acceptable if no individual interfering artefact peaks exceed 2 ng and if TVOC levels do not exceed 20 ng after subtraction of non-interfering VOC artefacts. If the blank is unacceptable, recondition the tubes by desorbing them for 10 min under a 50 ml/min to 100 ml/min flow rate of inert carrier gas at a SIST EN 13999-2:2014
