EN 13320:2002 (E)3ForewordThis document EN 13320 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 276 "Surface active agents", thesecretariat of which is held by AFNOR.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by August 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest byAugust 2002.The annexes A and B are informative.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain,Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.SIST EN 13320:2002



EN 13320:2002 (E)41 ScopeThis European Standard specifies a test method for the determination of the content of free ethylene oxide in therange from 1 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg in polyglycols, ethoxylates of alcohols and alkylphenols and in fatty acidpolyglycol esters.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies (including amendments).EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use – Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987).ISO 607, Surface active agents and detergents – Test methods of sample division.3 PrincipleThe ethoxylates are, after addition of water, analyzed by gas chromatography using a head-space samplingaccessory. The free ethylene oxide content is determined by the standard addition test method.4 ReagentsDuring the analysis, unless otherwise specified, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and have beenchecked in advance as to not interfere with the analytical results.4.1Water complying with grade 1 as defined in EN ISO 3696.4.2Ethylene oxide, C2H4O, w(C2H4O)

Theapparatus shall be equipped with a split system. The head-space sampling accessory shall be designed such thateach head-space bottle can be thermostated for a defined time.NOTESince ethylene oxide is easily decomposed by traces of impurities such as acids and transition metals, (catalyseddecomposition), a meticulously clean sampling accessory is necessary.5.2Fused silica capillary column, coating: crosslinked dimethylpolysiloxanes, column length 30 m, internaldiameter 0,25 mm, film thickness 1,0 .5.3Vials, closable by means of a septum, 20 ml, suitable for head-space sampling accessory.5.4Septums and aluminium caps, lined with aluminium or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for closing the vials.SIST EN 13320:2002

Pass about 500 mg of ethylene oxide (4.2) intothe water and reweigh. Make up the solution to 200 ml with water. In place of difference weighing, the addition ofethylene oxide (4.2) can be carried out by weighing-in using a cooled syringe, orb) Using a vialDissolve the contents of a vial of ethylene oxide (4.3) in 250 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide (4.4).NOTEA method of titration of the ethylene oxide stock solution is given in annex B.Prepare standard solutions with concentrations of (C2H4O) = 0,1 g/100 ml and (C2H4O) = 0,01 g/100 ml bymultistage dilutions with water from the stock solution.Store the standard solutions in a refrigerator.7.1.2 Calibration solutionsPrepare
