ISO 4581:1994

Plastics — Styrene/acrylonitrile copolymers — Determination of residual acrylonitrile monomer content — Gas chromatography method

The principle of the method specified is dissolving a test portion in dimethylformamide and injecting a small volume of the solution into a gas chromatograph equipped with flame ionization detector to separate and detect the volatile components. The solvent contains a known amount of propionitrile or acetonitrile as an internal standard for quantitative evaluation. With this method, a lower detection limit of the order of 3 ppm of acrylonitrile in the copolymer may be expected. To obtain a lower detection limit of the order of 0,3 ppm to 0,4 ppm, an alternative method is specified in annex A.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

• mandatory clauses to satisfy
• non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
