DIN EN 6040:2017-06

This European Standard defines the procedure to be used for the determination of the composition (resin, curing-agent/catalyst, reaction products, modifier) of the soluble components of thermoset systems with or without reinforcement in the uncured state using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). This method is applicable to: - fibre reinforced matrix systems (such as prepeg); - neat resin systems (such as film adhesives, laminating systems and components such as hardeners and epoxy resins); - sizing systems. This standard does not give any directions necessary to meet the health and safety requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to adopt appropriate health and safety precautions. This standard indicates items and/or subjects, which are marked with an asterisk (*). These items and/or subjects are typical and they shall be exactly defined in the relevant specification invoking the test.
