Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 23322:2021(E)
Paints and varnishes — Determination of solvents in
coating materials containing organic solvents only — Gas-
chromatographic method
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the gas-chromatographic determination of the qualitative and
quantitative composition of solvents contained in a product. The method is applicable to coating
materials containing solely organic solvents (generally called conventional coating materials) and
binder solutions and non-aqueous dispersions containing solely organic solvents.
The method defined in this document is not applicable for determination of volatile organic compounds
(VOC) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) content.
NOTE For determination of VOC and SVOC, see ISO 11890-2.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

ISO 15528, Paints, varnishes and raw materials for paints and varnishes — Sampling
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 4618 apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

— IEC Electropedia: available at http:// www .electropedia .org/
4 Units
The analytical results are expressed as a mass fraction.
5 Principle
The volatile fraction of the sample of product under test is separated by gas chromatography. Either
a hot sample injection system, a cold sample injection system or a headspace injection system can be
used, depending on the product type. After the components have been identified, they are quantified
from the peak areas using the internal standard method.
ISO 23322:2021(E)
6 Apparatus
6.1 Gas chromatograph
6.1.1 General
The gas chromatograph shall be suitable for use with capillary separation columns and meet the
conditions specified in 6.1.2 to 6.1.4.
All of the instrumental parts coming into contact with the test sample shall be made of a material, e.g.
glass, which is resistant to the sample and will not change it chemically.
6.1.2 Sample injection system
6.1.2.1 General
The method provides a choice between three sample injection systems:
— hot-injection system with sample splitter;
— cold-injection syste
