Scope and object
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentration in non-halogenated insulating liquids by high-resolution capillary column gas chromatography using an electron capture detector (ECD).
The method gives the total PCB content and is especially useful when a detailed analysis of PCB congeners is necessary. Other methods, such as IEC 60997, may be used when a less detailed analysis is acceptable.
The method is applicable to unused, reclaimed (including dechlorinated and chemically and/or physically treated), or used insulating liquids contaminated by PCBs.
