Paints and varnishes - Determination of volatile organic compounds(VOC) and/or semi volatile organic compounds (SVOC) content - Part 2: Gas-chromatographic method (ISO 11890-2:2020)

This document is applicable for the determination of VOC and SVOC with an expected VOC and/or SVOC content greater than 0,01 % by mass up to 100 % by mass.
The method given in ISO 11890-1 is used when the VOC is greater than 15 % by mass. This document (method ISO 11890-2) applies when the system contains VOC and SVOC as the VOC result of ISO 11890-1 can be influenced by the SVOC. For VOC content smaller than 0,1 %, the head space method described in ISO 17895 is used as an alternative. ISO 11890-1 and ISO 17895 cannot be used for the determination of the SVOC content.
NOTE 1  Some ingredients of coating materials and their raw materials can decompose during analysis and cause artificial VOC and/or SVOC signals. When determining VOC and/or SVOC for coating materials and their raw materials, these signals are artefacts of the method and are not taken into account (examples are given in Annex B).
This method assumes that the volatile matter is either water or organic. However, other volatile inorganic compounds can be present and might need to be quantified by another suitable method and allowed for in the calculations. The method defined in this document is not applicable for determination of water content.
NOTE 2  If organic acids or bases and their corresponding salts are present in the coating material or its raw materials, the amount that is quantified by this method might not be accurate due to a change in the acid or base equilibrium.

Beschichtungsstoffe - Bestimmung des Gehaltes an flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (VOC-Gehalt) und des Gehaltes an halbflüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (SVOC-Gehalt) - Teil 2: Gaschromatographisches Verfahren (ISO 11890-2:2020)

Dieses Dokument gilt für die Bestimmung von VOC und/oder SVOC bei einem erwarteten Gehalt über 0,01 % (Massenanteil) bis zu 100 % (Massenanteil).
Das in ISO 11890 1 angegebene Verfahren wird verwendet, wenn der VOC Gehalt über 15 % (Massenanteil) liegt. Dieses Dokument (Verfahren nach ISO 11890 2) gilt, wenn das System VOC und SVOC enthält, da das VOC Ergebnis nach ISO 11890 1 durch SVOC beeinflusst werden kann. Für einen VOC Gehalt unter 0,1 % wird das in ISO 17895 beschriebene Kopfraumverfahren als Alternative verwendet. ISO 11890 1 und ISO 17895 können nicht für die Bestimmung des SVOC Gehaltes verwendet werden.
ANMERKUNG 1: Einige Bestandteile von Beschichtungsstoffen und ihren Rohstoffen können während der Analyse zerfallen und künstliche VOC  und/oder SVOC Signale verursachen. Bei der Bestimmung von VOC und/oder SVOC für Beschichtungsstoffe und ihre Rohstoffe sind diese Signale Artefakte des Verfahrens und werden nicht berücksichtigt (Beispiele werden in Anhang B gegeben).
Dieses Verfahren geht davon aus, dass es sich bei den flüchtigen Anteilen entweder um Wasser oder um organische Verbindungen handelt. Es können jedoch andere flüchtige anorganische Verbindungen vorhanden sein, die durch ein anderes geeignetes Verfahren bestimmt und in den Berechnungen berücksichtigt werden dürfen. Das in diesem Dokument beschriebene Verfahren gilt nicht für die Bestimmung des Wassergehaltes.
ANMERKUNG 2: Wenn in dem Beschichtungsstoff oder seinen Rohstoffen organische Säuren oder Basen und ihre entsprechenden Salze vorhanden sind, ist die mit diesem Verfahren bestimmte Menge aufgrund einer Änderung des Säure-Base-Gleichgewichts möglicherweise nicht genau.

Peintures et vernis - Détermination de la teneur en composés organiques volatils (COV) et/ou composés organiques semi-volatils (COSV) - Partie 2: Méthode par chromatographie en phase gazeuse (ISO 11890-2:2020)

Le présent document est applicable à la détermination des COV et des COSV pour lesquels la teneur attendue en COV et/ou en COSV est supérieure à 0,01 % en masse et jusqu'à 100 % en masse.
La méthode donnée dans l'ISO 11890-1 est utilisée lorsque la teneur en COV est supérieure à 15 % en masse. Le présent document (méthode ISO 11890-2) s'applique lorsque le système contient des COV et des COSV, car le résultat obtenu selon l'ISO 11890-1 peut être influencé par les COSV. Pour une teneur en COV inférieure à 0,1 %, la méthode de l'espace de tête décrite dans l'ISO 17895 est utilisée en guise d'alternative. L'ISO 11890-1 et l'ISO 17895 ne peuvent pas être utilisées pour la détermination de la teneur en COSV.
NOTE 1    Certains ingrédients des produits de peinture et de leurs matières premières peuvent se décomposer pendant l'analyse et causer des signaux COV et/ou COSV artificiels. Lors de la détermination des COV et/ou des COSV dans les produits de peinture et leurs matières premières, ces signaux sont des artefacts de la méthode et ne sont pas pris en compte (des exemples sont donnés à l'Annexe B).
Cette méthode suppose que la matière volatile est de l'eau ou une matière organique. Toutefois, d'autres composés inorganiques volatils peuvent être présents; il pourrait être nécessaire de les quantifier selon une autre méthode adaptée et d'en tenir compte dans les calculs. La méthode définie dans le présent document n'est pas applicable à la détermination de la teneur en eau.
NOTE 2    Si des acides ou des bases organiques et leurs sels correspondants sont présents dans le produit de peinture ou ses matières premières, la quantité qui est quantifiée par cette méthode pourrait ne pas être exacte en raison d'une modification de l'équilibre acido-basique.

WARNING — The use of this document can involve hazardous materials, operations and
equipment. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of users of this document to take appropriate measures
to ensure the safety and health of personnel prior to the application of the document, and to

1 Scope
This document is applicable for the determination of VOC and SVOC with an expected VOC and/or SVOC
content greater than 0,01 % by mass up to 100 % by mass.
The method given in ISO 11890-1 is used when the VOC is greater than 15 % by mass. This document
(method ISO 11890-2) applies when the system contains VOC and SVOC as the VOC result of ISO 11890-1
can be influenced by the SVOC. For VOC content smaller than 0,1 %, the head space method described in
ISO 17895 is used as an alternative. ISO 11890-1 and ISO 17895 cannot be used for the determination of
the SVOC content.
NOTE 1 Some ingredients of coating materials and their raw materials can decompose during analysis and
cause artificial VOC and/or SVOC signals. When determining VOC and/or SVOC for coating materials and their
raw materials, these signals are artefacts of the method and are not taken into account (examples are given in
Annex B).
This method assumes that the volatile matter is either water or organic. However, other volatile
inorganic compounds can be present and might need to be quantified by another suitable method and
allowed for in the calculations. The method defined in this document is not applicable for determination
of water content.
NOTE 2 If organic acids or bases and their corresponding salts are present in the coating material or its raw
materials, the amount that is quantified by this method might not be accurate due to a change in the acid or base
equilibrium.

3.14
minor peak
peak that contributes only to a minor extent to either
— the VOC content, i.e. < 0,1 % by mass (as DEA equivalent) and/or < 10 % of the absolute VOC content
(as DEA equivalent), or
— the SVOC content, i.e. < 0,1 % by mass (as DEA equivalent) and/or < 10 % of the absolute SVOC
content (as DEA equivalent)

4 Principle
After preparation of the sample, the VOCs, SVOCs and NVOCs are separated by a gas chromatographic
technique. Either a hot or a cold sample injection system is used, depending on the sample type. Hot
injection is the preferred method. After the compounds have been identified, e.g. via GC-MS, they are
quantified from the peak areas with respect to their compound specific relative response with the
help of an internal standard, via GC-FID. Non-identifiable substances are quantified with respect to a
surrogate standard that can be identical to the internal standard. A calculation is performed to give the
VOC and/or SVOC content of the sample.
5 Required information
For any particular application, the information required should preferably be agreed between the
interested parties and may be derived, in part or totally, from an international or national standard or
other document related to the product under test.
The required information can include the following points:
a) the organic compound(s) to be determined (see Clause 9);
b) the experimental conditions to be used (see 8.5);
c) the classification criteria for VOC and/or SVOC;
d) which of the organic compounds in a) are exempt compounds (if relevant);
e) the method of calculation to be used (see Clause 10 and Clause 11).

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).

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 11890-2:2019(E)
Paints and varnishes — Determination of volatile organic
compound (VOC) and semi volatile organic compound
(SVOC) content —
Part 2:
Gas-chromatographic method
WARNING — The use of this document can involve hazardous materials, operations and
equipment. This Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with
its use. It is the responsibility of users of this document to take appropriate measures to ensure
the safety and health of personnel prior to the application of the standard, and to determine the
applicability of any other restrictions for this purpose.
1 Scope
This document is one of a series of standards dealing with the sampling and testing of coating materials
and their raw materials.
It specifies a method for the determination of the volatile organic compounds (VOC) content and the
semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) content of coating materials and their raw materials.
This part is applicable for the determination of VOC and SVOC if the expected VOC and/or SVOC content
is greater than 0,01 % by mass up to 100% by mass.
If the VOC content is greater than 15 % by mass, the less complicated method given in ISO 11890-1
may be used. If the system contains VOC and SVOC, the VOC result of ISO 11890-1 may be influenced by
SVOC. In this case ISO 11890-2 shall be preferred. For VOC content smaller than 0,1 %, the head space
method described in ISO 17895 can be used as an alternative. ISO 11890-1 and ISO 17895 cannot be
used for the determination of the SVOC content.
NOTE 1 Some ingredients of coating materials and their raw materials can decompose during analysis and
cause artificial VOC and SVOC signals. When determining VOC and SVOC for coating materials and their raw
materials, these signals are artefacts of the method and should not be taken into account (examples are given in
Annex B).
This method assumes that the volatile matter is either water or organic. However, other volatile
inorganic compounds can be present and might need to be quantified by another suitable method and
allowed for in the calculations. The method defined in this standard is not applicable for determination
of water content.
NOTE 2 If organic acids or bases and their corresponding salts are present in the coating material or its raw
materials, the amount that is quantified by this method may not be accurate due to a change in the acid or base
equilibrium.

4 Principle
After preparation of the sample, the VOCs, SVOCs and NVOCs are separated by a gas chromatographic
technique. Either a hot or a cold sample injection system is used, depending on the sample type. Hot
injection is the preferred method. After the compounds have been identified, e.g. via GC-MS, they are
quantified from the peak areas with respect to their compound specific relative response with the
help of an internal standard, via GC-FID. Non-identifiable substances are quantified with respect to a
surrogate standard that can be identical to the internal standard. A calculation is performed to give the
VOC and/or SVOC content of the sample.
5 Required information
For any particular application, the information required should preferably be agreed between the
interested parties and may be derived, in part or totally, from an international or national standard or
other document related to the product under test.
The required information can include the following points:
a) The organic compound(s) to be determined (see Clause 9).
b) The experimental conditions to be used (see Clause 8.5).
c) The classification criteria for VOC and/or SVOC.
d) Which of the organic compounds in a) are exempt compounds (if relevant).
e) The method of calculation to be used (see Clause 10 and 11).
6 Apparatus
6.1 Gas chromatograph
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.
6.2 Sample injection system
6.2.1 General
Use one of the two types specified in 6.2.2 and 6.2.3.
6.2.2 Hot-injection system (preferred system)
The instrument shall have a variable-temperature injection block. The injection temperature shall be
capable of being set to an accuracy of 1 °C. Standard operating temperature shall be between 250 °C
and 280 °C.

The occurrence of adsorption is revealed by peak tailing, in particular with components of low volatility
and/or high polarity.
NOTE It may be useful to use silanized glass wool to retain non-volatile constituents. Note that the active
sides of silanized glass wool can be a sink for organic compounds and significantly influence the recovery rate in
the lower range of the method.
6.2.3 Cold-injection system (programmed temperature vaporizer, PTV)
The cold-injection system shall be provided with temperature programming for heating from ambient
to 300 °C.
NOTE It can be useful to use silanized glass wool to retain non-volatile constituents. Note that the active
sides of silanized glass wool can be a sink for organic compounds and significantly influence the recovery rate in
the lower range of the method.
6.2.4 Selection of sample injection system
The choice between hot-injection and cold-injection will depend on the type of product under test. It is
preferred to use the cold-injection system for products which, at high temperature, release substances
which interfere with the determination. Cleavage products of binders or additives can be reduced by
the use of cold injection system.
Indications of cleavage or decomposition reactions can be obtained by looking for changes in the
chromatogram (for example the occurrence of foreign peaks or an increase or decrease in peak size) at
various sample injector temperatures (see Annex B).
6.3 Oven
The oven shall be capable of being heated between 40 °C and 300 °C both isothermally and under
programmed temperature control. It shall be possible to set the oven temperature to within 1 °C. The
final temperature of the temperature programme shall not exceed the maximum operating temperature
of the capillary column (see 6.5).
6.4 Detector
The following two detectors shall be used:
6.4.1 Mass spectrometer or other mass-selective detector, for the identification of VOC and
SVOC compounds. To prev
