Leather - Determination of ethoxylated alkylphenols - Part 2: Indirect method (ISO 18218-2:2019)

This document specifies a method for determining alkylphenols (nonylphenol and octylphenol)
and alkylphenol ethoxylates (nonylphenol ethoxylate and octylphenol ethoxylate) in leather and
process auxiliaries. The analysis is based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
The analysis of the alkylphenol ethoxylate is made by cleaving the alkylphenol ethoxylate and
measuring the released alkylphenol.
NOTE ISO 18218-1 and this document use different solvents for the extraction of the ethoxylated
alkylphenols from leather. Consequently, the two analytical methods are expected to give similar trends but not
necessarily the same absolute result for the ethoxylated alkylphenol content in leather.

Leder - Bestimmung von ethoxylierten Alkylphenolen - Teil 2: Indirektes Verfahren (ISO 18218-2:2019)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Alkylphenol (Nonylphenol und Octylphenol) und Alkylphenolethoxylat (Nonylphenolethoxylat und Octylphenolethoxylat) in Leder und Prozesshilfsstoffen fest. Die Analyse basiert auf Hochleistungsflüssigkeitschromatographie (HPLC) oder Gaschromatographie-Massenspektrometrie (GC MS).
Die Analyse des Alkylphenolethoxylats wird durch Spaltung von Alkylphenolethoxylat und die Messung des freigesetzten Alkylphenols durchgeführt.
ANMERKUNG   ISO 18218 1 und dieses Dokument verwenden verschiedene Lösemittel zur Extraktion der ethoxylierten Alkylphenole aus Leder. Für die beiden analytischen Verfahren wird erwartet, dass sie für den Gehalt ethoxylierter Alkylphenole in Leder konsequenterweise ähnliche Tendenzen jedoch nicht zwangsläufig das absolut identische Ergebnis liefern.

Cuir - Détermination des alkylphénols éthoxylés - Partie 2: Méthode indirecte (ISO 18218-2:2019)

Le présent document spécifie une méthode de détermination des alkylphénols (le nonylphénol et l'octylphénol) et des éthoxylates d'alkylphénol (l'éthoxylate de nonylphénol et l'éthoxylate d'octylphénol) dans le cuir et les produits auxiliaires de traitement. Cette analyse est effectuée par chromatographie en phase liquide à haute performance (CLHP) ou par chromatographie en phase gazeuse couplée à la spectrométrie de masse (CG-SM).
L'éthoxylate d'alkylphénol est clivé et l'alkylphénol ainsi formé est dosé.
NOTE       L'ISO 18218-1 et le présent document impliquent l'utilisation de solvants différents pour l'extraction des alkylphénols éthoxylés du cuir. Par conséquent, il est attendu que les deux méthodes analytiques donnent des résultats comparables, mais non nécessairement identiques, pour ce qui concerne la teneur en alkylphénols éthoxylés dans le cuir.

Usnje - Določevanje etoksilatnih alkilfenolov - 2. del: Posredna metoda (ISO 18218-2:2019)

Ta dokument določa metodo za določevanje alkilfenolov (nonilfenol in oktilfenol) ter alkilfenoletoksilatov (nonilfenol etoksilatov in oktilfenol etoksilatov) v usnju ter pomožnih sredstvih za predelavo. Analiza temelji na tekočinski kromatografiji visoke ločljivosti (HPLC) ali plinski kromatografiji/masni spektrometriji (GC-MS).
Analiza alkilfenoletoksilata se opravi s cepitvijo alkilfenoletoksilata in merjenjem sproščenega alkilfenola.
OPOMBA: Standard ISO 18218-1 in ta dokument uporabljata različni topili za ekstrakcijo alkilfenoletoksilatov iz usnja. Posledično je za pričakovati, da bosta analizni metodi pokazali podobne trende, ne pa nujno tudi enakega absolutnega rezultata pri vsebnosti alkilfenoletoksilata v usnju.

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
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

Introduction
Nonylphenol ethoxylate belongs to the non-ionic surfactants. The biodegradation of nonylphenol
ethoxylate releases the persistent pollutant branched nonylphenol. Nonylphenol is a hormonal acting
substance that is toxic for waterborne organisms and many other organisms. For this reason, the
release of nonylphenol ethoxylate into the environment shall be avoided.
In 2003, the European Directive 2003/53/EC restricted the sale and use of nonylphenol and nonylphenol
ethoxylate in product preparations for industries with discharges to waste water. Preparations
containing concentrations equal to or higher than 0,1 % of nonylphenol ethoxylate or nonylphenol were
forbidden. This directive is included as part of the EU Regulation 1907/2006 (REACH).
No detailed composition of the chemical substance nonylphenol ethoxylate can be given; it is assigned
the general structural formula:
(C alkyl chain, branched or linear) − Ph − [OCH CH ] − OH (with Ph = phenyl, n ≥ 1)
9 2 2 n
To cover the group of ethoxylates of 4-nonylphenol, branched and linear, the European Chemical Agency
(ECHA) has assigned the substance the following definition:
‘4-nonylphenol, branched and linear, ethoxylated [substances with a linear and/or branched alkyl
chain with a carbon number of 9 covalently bound in position 4 to phenol, ethoxylated covering UVCB
and well-defined substances, polymers, and homologues, which include any of the individual isomers
and/or combinations thereof].’
In the leather industry, nonylphenol ethoxylate and octylphenol ethoxylate surfactants have been used.
However, the water insoluble substances nonylphenol and octylphenol have not been used. For this
reason, two different analytical procedures have been prepared for analysing leather samples.
ISO 18218-1 is a method that directly determines the ethoxylated alkylphenol. It is an efficient
procedure for the analysis of a larger number of leather samples. This procedure requires HPLC with
triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (MSMS) to identify the nonylphenol ethoxylate and octylphenol
ethoxylate.
This document specifies a procedure for analysing the alkylphenol. The ethoxylated alkylphenol is
cleaved to form the alkylphenol, which is identified using high-performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) equipment. This method can also be used
to indirectly determine the alkylphenol ethoxylate content in leather and process auxiliaries.

4 Principle
Leather samples are extracted with acetonitrile using an ultrasonic bath and the nonylphenol (NP)
and/or octylphenol (OP) in the extract is quantitatively determined by HPLC or GC-MS.
The leather process auxiliaries are dissolved in acetonitrile and the NP and/or OP in the solution is
quantitatively determined by HPLC or GC-MS.
The nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPEO) and octylphenol ethoxylate (OPEO) in the extract or solution are
first converted into NP and OP, using aluminium triiodide as cleavage agent, and the NP and OP are
determined by HPLC or GC-MS. The contents of NPEO and OPEO are then calculated by normalizing to
