EN 14362-5 Aromatic Amines Quantification by GC-MS

EN 14362-5 Aromatic Amines Quantification by GC-MS: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

Aromatic amines are a class of chemicals that have been identified as potential carcinogens and mutagens. As such, their presence in various products and materials has become a subject of concern for regulatory bodies and industry stakeholders worldwide. The European Standard EN 14362-5 is one of the key standards governing the quantification of aromatic amines by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) testing.

Overview of Relevant Standards

EN 14362-5:2018 specifies the requirements for the determination of aromatic amines in water and air samples. The standard is part of the EN 14362 series, which covers various aspects of aromatic amine analysis. The scope of EN 14362-5 includes:

Other relevant standards include:

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The presence of aromatic amines in various products and materials is regulated by national and international laws. The European Unions Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) sets limits for certain aromatic amines in drinking water, while the EUs Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) regulates emissions from industrial facilities.

In Turkey, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry has issued regulations to control the presence of aromatic amines in various products and materials. Eurolab is committed to ensuring that its laboratory testing services comply with all relevant national and international standards and regulations.

Standard Development Organizations

The development and maintenance of EN 14362-5 are overseen by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), which is responsible for promoting standardization in Europe. CEN collaborates with other standard development organizations, such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), to ensure that international standards are harmonized.

How Standards Evolve and Get Updated

Standards evolve over time due to advances in technology, changes in regulations, or the need for improved accuracy. Eurolab stays up-to-date with all relevant standards and updates its testing procedures accordingly.
