IEC 62321-14:2026 ED1

Determination of certain substances in electrotechnical products - Part 14: Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs) in plastics by gas chromatography-negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS)

Scope

IEC 62321-14:2026 specifies one technique for the determination of short-chain and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs: C10-C13 and MCCPs: C14-C17) in plastics of electrotechnical products.
This document specifies a quantitative method for the determination of short-chain and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins in electrotechnical products by means of solvent extraction and gas chromatography-negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS).
This document is a basic environment horizontal publication focusing on test methods and is primarily intended for use by committees in the preparation of publications within the area of environment in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 123. Wherever applicable, it is the responsibility of committees to make use of environment basic publications in the preparation of their environment group and product publications. Committees can apply this document directly to products when they do not develop a product publication in the area of environment.
WARNING – Persons using this International Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.
