Textiles and textile products – Determination of certain residual solvents – Part 2: Determination of benzene, method using gas chromatography

Scope

This document specifies a method to determine the amounts of residual benzene in components of textile products.

The rationale for a different part for benzene is that the levels of benzene found in products are significantly different (higher) to those for DMF in the current standard. This requires a different approach to analysis.
