Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics substances subject to limitation - Part 4: Determination of 1,3-butadiene in plastics

This part of this European Standard specifies a method for the determination of butadiene monomer in polymers.
The method is applicable to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) and to high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) as well as to other 1,3-butadiene polymers and copolymers where these are soluble in N,N-dimethylacetamide or finely dispersed, swollen suspensions in N,N-dimethylacetamide. The level of 1,3-butadiene monomer determined is expressed as milligrams of 1,3-butadiene per kilogram of polymer.  The method is appropriate for the quantitative determination of 1,3-butadiene at a level of 0,1 mg/kg in the polymer.

EN 13130-4:2004 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 13130-4:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 194 “Utensils in contact with food”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This document was prepared by Subcommittee SC1 of TC 194 as one of a series of analytical test methods for plastics materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2004. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. This standard is intended to support Directives 2002/72/EC [1], 89/109/EEC [2], 82/711/EEC [3] and its amendments 93/8/EEC [4] and 97/48/EC [5], and 85/572/EEC [6]. At the time of preparation and publication of this part of EN 13130 the European Union legislation relating to plastics materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs is incomplete. Further Directives and amendments to existing Directives are expected which could change the legislative requirements which this standard supports. It is therefore strongly recommended that users of this standard refer to the latest relevant published Directive(s) before commencement of a test or tests described in this standard. EN 13130-4 should be read in conjunction with EN 13130-1 Further parts of EN 13130, under the general title Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics substances subject to limitation, have been prepared, and others are in preparation, concerned with the determination of specific migration from plastics materials into foodstuffs and food simulants and the determination of specific monomers and additives in plastics.

EN 13130-4:2004 (E) 5 Introduction 1,3-Butadiene, CH2=CH-CH=CH2, is a monomer used in the manufacture of certain plastics materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
During the manufacture of 1,3-butadiene copolymers, residual 1,3-butadiene monomer can remain in the polymer and can migrate into food coming into contact with the polymer.
The method described in this part of this standard is to be used in conjunction with part 1 of this standard, which describes the procedure required prior to determination of 1,3-butadiene.
The method has been validated by a collaborative trial using acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS).

1 Scope This part of this European Standard specifies a method for the determination of butadiene monomer in polymers.
The method is applicable to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) and to high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) as well as to other 1,3-butadiene polymers and copolymers where these are soluble in N,N-dimethylacetamide or finely dispersed, swollen suspensions in N,N-dimethylacetamide. The level of 1,3-butadiene monomer determined is expressed as milligrams of 1,3-butadiene per kilogram of polymer.
The method is appropriate for the quantitative determination of 1,3-butadiene at a level of 0,1 mg/kg in the polymer. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).
EN 13130-1:2004; Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics substances subject to limitation - Part 1: Guide to test methods for the specific migration of substances from plastics to foods and food simulants and the determination of substances in plastics and the selection of conditions of exposure to food simulants 3 Principle The level of 1,3-butadiene in a polymer is determined by headspace gas chromatography of the polymer sample dissolved in N,N-dimethylacetamide, applying automated sample injection and using flame ionization detection (FID).
Quantification is achieved using n-pentane as an internal standard with calibration against polymer samples fortified with 1,3-butadiene according to the standard addition procedure.
If interferences are experienced with the internal standard, n-pentane, calibration is carried out by the external standardization as described in annex A.
If automated headspace sampling cannot be performed, manual injection as described in annex B shall be applied.
Confirmation of 1,3-butadiene levels is carried out by combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
4 Reagents WARNING:
All chemicals are hazardous to health to a greater or lesser extent.
It is beyond the scope of this standard to give instructions for the safe handling of all chemicals, that meet, in full, the legal obligations in all countries in which this standard may be followed.
Therefore, specific warnings are not given and users of this standard shall ensure that they meet all the necessary safety requirements in their own country. 4.1 1,3-Butadiene, CH2=CH-CH=CH2, purity greater than 99,5 % (w/w). SIST EN 13130-4:2004

Pipette 50 ml N,N-dimethylacetamide (4.3) into the vial (5.4), close and weigh again to 0,01 mg. Insert hollow needles for introducing 1,3-butadiene and venting air and weigh again to 0,01 mg. Introduce, under a fume hood, 0,3 g to 0,5 g 1,3-butadiene (4.1) by bubbling through the N,N-dimethylacetamide.
Re-weigh the vial plus needles to an accuracy of 0,01 mg and remove then the needles. Calculate the concentration in milligrams of 1,3-butadiene per gram of solution.
b) Repeat item a) to provide a second stock solution. NOTE The stock solutions can be stored at - 20 °C up to eight weeks protected from light in septum capped glass vials with minimum headspace; storage at 4 °C with the exclusion of light should not exceed
