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 Commis-
sion (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 11890 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 11890-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes,
Subcommittee SC 10, Test methods for binders for paints and varnishes.
ISO 11890 consists of the following parts, under the general title Paints and varnishes — Determination of volatile or-
ganic compound (VOC) content:
— Part 1: Difference method
— Part 2: Gas-chromatographic method
Annex A forms a normative part of this part of ISO 11890. Annex B of this part of ISO 11890 is for information only.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11890-2:2000(E)
Paints and varnishes — Determination of volatile organic
compound (VOC) content —
Part 2:
Gas-chromatographic method
1 Scope
This part of ISO 11890 is one of a series of standards dealing with the sampling and testing of paints, varnishes and
related products.
It specifies a method for the determination of the volatile organic compound (VOC) content of paints, varnishes and
their raw materials. This part shall be used where the expected VOC content is greater than 0,1 % by mass and less
than about 15 % by mass. When the VOC content is greater than about 15 % by mass, the less complicated method
given in ISO 11890-1 may be used.
This method assumes that the volatile matter is either water or organic. However, other volatile inorganic compounds
may be present and may need to be quantified by another suitable method and allowed for in the calculations.

possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references,
