Comprehensive Guide to EPA 3545 Extraction of Plasticizers Laboratory Testing Service

Provided by Eurolab: A Complete Reference Guide for Quality Managers, Engineers, Regulatory Compliance Officers, Business Owners, Technical Professionals, Industry Consultants, Government Officials, and Regulators.

EPA 3545 Extraction of Plasticizers is a laboratory testing service that measures the amount of plasticizers extracted from materials. This test is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 10365:1996 - Plastics - Determination of the extractable content
  • ASTM D4287-17 - Standard Practice for Determining the Extractable Content
  • EN 14382-2015 - Plastics Piping Systems and Fittings - Determination of Extractables Content
  • TSE 1093:2009 - Plastics Pipes - Determination of Extracted Content
  • These standards are developed by organizations such as International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and Turkish Standards Institution (TSE). These standards provide a framework for laboratories to conduct this test, ensuring that results are accurate and comparable.

    The legal and regulatory framework surrounding EPA 3545 Extraction of Plasticizers testing includes:

  • EU directives such as the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC)
  • US federal regulations like the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and the Clean Air Act (CAA)
  • National standards and regulations in countries like Canada, Australia, and Japan
  • These regulations require laboratories to adhere to strict quality control procedures, ensuring that test results are reliable and trustworthy.

    Standard development organizations play a crucial role in updating and revising standards to reflect advances in technology and changes in regulatory requirements. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing many of the standards related to EPA 3545 Extraction of Plasticizers testing.
