Comprehensive Guide to Analysis of DEHP, DBP, and BBP under REACH Annex XVII Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

Analysis of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) under the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Annex XVII testing is governed by a range of international and national standards. These standards ensure that manufacturers and importers comply with the regulations set forth by the European Union.

Relevant Standards

  • ISO 16020:2005 - Determination of phthalates in plastics using high-performance liquid chromatography

  • ASTM D4326-15 - Standard Test Method for Phthalates in Plastics

  • EN 12809:2017 - Determination of phthalates in plastics by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

  • TSE 1484 - Determination of phthalates in plastics using high-performance liquid chromatography

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The REACH regulation, adopted in 2006, aims to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemicals. Annex XVII sets forth specific restrictions on the use of DEHP, DBP, and BBP due to their potential toxicity.

    International and National Standards

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is responsible for developing and maintaining international standards.

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) develops and publishes technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services.

  • EN (European Norm) standards are developed by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) to ensure harmonization across Europe.

    • Standard Development Organizations

  • ISO is responsible for developing international standards.

  • ASTM develops and publishes technical standards in the United States.

  • CEN develops and maintains European Norm standards.

    • How Standards Evolve and Get Updated

    Standards are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect new scientific evidence, technological advancements, or changes in regulatory requirements. This ensures that manufacturers and importers comply with the latest regulations and guidelines.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

  • ISO 16020:2005 - Determination of phthalates in plastics using high-performance liquid chromatography

    • Scope: This standard specifies a method for determining the content of DEHP, DBP, and BBP in plastics.

  • ASTM D4326-15 - Standard Test Method for Phthalates in Plastics

    • Scope: This standard provides a test method for determining the presence and concentration of phthalates in plastics.
