pyrrolidone (NEP);
— Clause 5: DMAC, NMP and NEP have been added;
— 5.7: The descriptions of the preparation of stock solutions have been changed in order to consider
the additional analytes DMAC, NMP and NEP;
— 8.2: The description of the determination with GC-MS has been changed in order to consider the
additional analytes DMAC, NMP and NEP;
— 9.1: The headline has been added and the description of the calculation has been changed in order to
consider the additional analytes DMAC, NMP and NEP;
— 9.2 and 9.3: Precision of the method including the limit of quantification of the test method has been
added;
