Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics substances subject to limitation - Part 8: Determination of isocyanates in plastics
This part of this European Standard describes a method for the determination of individual and total levels of residual isocyanates in plastics materials and articles.
This method is applicable to the analysis of polyurethane polymers. The total level of isocyanate monomers in materials and articles determined according to the procedure described in this standard is given in milligrams of NCO per kilogram of material or article. The method is capable of quantitative determination of individual isocyanates measured as NCO at 0,04 mg/kg and total isocyanates at 1,0 mg/kg.
NOTE The method has been applied to the analysis of 9 isocyanate monomers listed in 3.1. It has not been applied to the analysis of octadecyl isocyanate, diphenylether-4,4'-diisocyanate or 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diisocyanatobiphenyl as samples of these monomers have not been obtained. There is no reason to anticipate that the method may not be suitable for the analysis of these monomers also.

Matériaux et objets en contact avec les denrées alimentaires - Substances dans les matieres plastiques soumises a des limitations - Partie 8 : Détermination des isocyanates dans les matieres plastiques
La présente partie de cette Norme européenne décrit une méthode de détermination des quantités individuelle et totale des isocyanates résiduels dans les matériaux et objets en matieres plastiques.
Cette méthode s'applique a l'analyse des polymeres de polyuréthane. La quantité totale des monomeres d'isocyanates dans les matériaux et objets déterminée selon le mode opératoire décrit dans la présente norme est donnée en milligrammes de NCO par kilogramme de matériau ou objet. Cette méthode permet de déterminer de maniere quantitative les isocyanates individuels mesurés en NCO a 0,04 mg/kg et les isocyanates globaux a 1,0 mg/kg.
NOTE La méthode a été appliquée a l'analyse de neuf monomeres d'isocyanates énumérés en 3.1, mais ne l'a pas été a l'analyse de l'octadécyl isocyanate, du diphényléther 4,4' diisocyanate ou du 3,3' diméthyl 4,4 diisocyanatobiphényl, dans la mesure ou les échantillons de ces monomeres n'ont pas été obtenus. Il n'y a aucune raison de penser que la méthode peut ne pas convenir également a l'analyse de ces monomeres.

SIST EN 13130-8:2004
EN 13130-8:2004 (E) 5 Introduction Isocyanates, characterised by the -NCO group, are monomers used for the manufacture of materials and articles intended to come in contact with food.
During manufacture residual isocyanates can remain in the polymer and can migrate into food coming into contact with the polymer. SIST EN 13130-8:2004

1 Scope This part of this European Standard describes a method for the determination of individual and total levels of residual isocyanates in plastics materials and articles. This method is applicable to the analysis of polyurethane polymers.
The total level of isocyanate monomers in materials and articles determined according to the procedure described in this standard is given in milligrams of NCO per kilogram of material or article.
The method is capable of quantitative determination of individual isocyanates measured as NCO at 0,04 mg/kg and total isocyanates at 1,0 mg/kg. NOTE The method has been applied to the analysis of 9 isocyanate monomers listed in 3.1.
It has not been applied to the analysis of octadecyl isocyanate, diphenylether-4,4'-diisocyanate or 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diisocyanatobiphenyl as samples of these monomers have not been obtained.
There is no reason to anticipate that the method may not be suitable for the analysis of these monomers also. 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 procedure consists of two parts: screening and, if necessary, quantitative determination.
Quantitative determination is applied only if isocyanates are detected by the screening procedure. Materials and articles are initially screened for residual isocyanates by solvent extraction with dichloromethane and concurrent derivatization with 9-(methylaminomethyl)anthracene.
1-Naphthyl isocyanate is used during the screening procedure to check that the derivatization procedure has been successful.
The resultant fluorescent derivatives are analysed by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.
Materials found to contain residual isocyanates are quantified by standard addition to the material or article under test, using 1-naphthyl isocyanate as internal standard. If interferences are experienced with the internal standard then calibration is carried out by standard addition omitting the internal standard, as described in annex A. Confirmation of isocyanate levels is carried out by re-analysing the sample extracts on an HPLC column with different elution characteristics. 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 SIST EN 13130-8:2004

EN 13130-8:2004 (E) 9 Repeat the procedure with the dilute internal standard solution (4.2.10). 5 Apparatus 5.1 General An instrument or piece of apparatus is mentioned only if it is special, or made to particular specifications.
Usual laboratory equipment is assumed to be available. NOTE The MAMA-isocyanate derivatives are not sensitive to moisture and so glassware used for operations involving the derivatives need not be especially dried before use. 5.2 High performance liquid chromatograph, equipped with a fluorescence detector Excitation Wavelength - 254 nm Emission Wavelength - 412 nm 5.3 Chromatographic column The column has to permit the separation of each of the MAMA derivatives of the nine individual isocyanates from one another as well as from that of the MAMA derivative of the internal standard.
The peaks of the isocyanate standard derivatives and that of the internal standard derivative shall not overlap by more than 1 % of peak area with each other and with peaks resulting from other compounds. The following are examples of HPLC columns found suitable for analysis of isocyanate derivatives: a)
250 mm x 4,6 mm stainless steel column packed with silica, 5 µm particle size, 80 Å pore size,
220 m²/g surface area, octadecyl silyl bonded phase, 7 % carbon loading, partially end-capped; b)
125 mm x 3,0 mm stainless steel columns packed as for a); c)
250 mm x 4,6 mm stainless steel column packed with silica, 5 µm particle size, 120 Å pore size, 200 m²/g surface area, octadecyl silyl bonded phase, 11 % carbon loading, end-capped; d)
250 mm x 4,0 mm stainless steel column packed as for c); e)
125 mm x 4,0 mm stainless steel column packed with silica 5 µm particle size, 60 Å pore size, 220 m²/g surface area, octasilyl bonded phase, 11,5 % carbon loading, partially end-capped. 5.4 Glass vials 20 ml capacity with polytetrafluoroethylene-faced butyl rubber septa and aluminium crimp caps.
Vials should be rinsed with diethyl ether (4.2.2), baked at 105 °C overnight and then stored in a desiccator until required for use. NOTE Erlenmayer flasks, with a capacity of 25 ml, with ground glass joints can be used instead of 20 ml vials.
They should be washed, dried and stored as for glass vials. 5.5 Glass sample vials suitable for the HPLC system employed. 5.6 Glass barrel syringes with needles, of 5 µl, 10 µl, 50 µl, 100 µl, 250 µl, 500 µl and 1000 µl capacities. 6 Samples The laboratory samples of polymer materials or articles, to be analysed are obtained and stored as described in EN 13130-1. The samples of plastics to be analysed have to be representative of the material, or article, presented for SIST EN 13130-8:2004
EN 13130-8:2004 (E) 10 analysis. The following precautions are advisable: a) to avoid cross contamination, carry out preparation of the polymer samples in an area remote to that used for handling isocyanate and MAMA solutions; b) to avoid loss of isocyanates through hydrolysis, carry out preparation of the polymer samples in an area of low relative humidity and away from sources of moisture; c) ensure that all glassware and syringes are dry before use. 7 Procedure 7.1 Test sample screening 7.1.1 Test sample extraction and derivatization Using a representative sample, weigh 1 g, to an accuracy of 5 mg, of the test material or article into a vial (5.4), cutting into small pieces where possible.
Add 10 ml of DCM (4.2.1) followed by 80 µl of dilute internal standard solution (4.2.10) and 1 ml of derivatizing reagent (4.2.11).
Seal the vial and shake for 12 h on an orbital shaker.
Using a Pasteur pipette, transfer the solvent extract to a clean dry vial and reduce in volume to about 5 ml under a gentle stream of nitrogen.
Seal the vial and store at - 20 °C.
Add a further 10 ml of DCM to the extracted test pieces, seal the vial and shake for a further 12 h on an orbital shaker.
Remove the solvent extract and combine with the first extract.
Evaporate the vial contents to dryness under a gentle stream of nitrogen.
Add 10 ml of derivative dissolution solvent (4.2.12) and mix thoroughly.
Ultrasonification may be used to aid dissolution.
Filter through a 0,45 µm syringe filter (pre-purged with 2 ml HPLC mobile phase (7.1.5.1)) and transfer to an HPLC sample vial. Prepare a second derivatized sample extract. NOTE The MAMA derivatization reagent is photosensitive. The concurrent extraction/derivatization should be conducted with the exclusion of light. 7.1.2 Preparation of reagent blank sample Prepare as in 7.1.1 but omit the addition of the polymer sample. 7.1.3 Preparation of internal standard check sample Prepare as in 7.1.1 but omit the addition of the internal standard.
7.1.4 Preparation of un-derivatized sample blank Prepare as in 7.1.1 but omit the addition of the derivatizing reagent and the internal standard. 7.1.5 Chromatographic determination 7.1.5.1 General Depending on the type of chromatograph, column and detector used for the determination, the appropriate operational parameters should be established. NOTE 1 The range of parameters which has been employed for the column a) (5.3) is as follows: Mobile phase: Prepare a solution of 3 % triethylamine ((C2H5)3N) (w/v) in water.
Mix with acetonitrile to give 80/20 (v/v) acetonitrile (CH3CN)/water.
