Publication date:   Mar 30, 2023

Scope

This document specifies a method to determine the total content of the 8 regulated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), see Table 1, in plastic and rubber articles by using GC-MS allowing detection at 0,1 mg PAHs/kg for plastic and 0,2 mg PAHs/kg for rubber material.
