scope:

This part of this European Standard describes methods for the quantitative determination of residual solvents in flexible packaging by static headspace chromatographywhere the chemical identities of the residual solvents to be determined are known before commencing the analysis. Residues from thermal decomposition products are not within the scope of this standard. The method is applicable to flexible packaging materials that may consist of mono- or multilayer plastic films, paper or board, foil or combinations thereof.
