DIN EN ISO 18856:2005-11

This future standard will specify a method for the determination of phthalates in water after solid phase extraction and gas chromatography - mass spectrometry. The method is applicable to the determination of phthalates (a list of common phthalates is included in CD 18856) in ground water, surface water, waste water and drinking water in mass concentrations between 0,02 æg/l and 0,150 æg/l, depending on the individual substance. The applicability of the method to other phthalates not given in the table is not excluded, but shall be verified in each case.
