EPA Method 8275C Volatile Organic Compounds by GC/MS Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

EPA Method 8275C is a widely recognized standard for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). This method is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 11885:2017 - Water quality -- Determination of dissolved anions by ion chromatography

  • ASTM D7606-11 - Standard Test Method for Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in Drinking Water Using Headspace Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry

  • EN 14618:2005 - Drinking water -- Determination of volatile organic compounds by headspace gas chromatography and mass spectrometry

  • TSE ISO 11885:2017 - Su Suyouma ve Su Arıtma Tesviği (Water quality -- Determination of dissolved anions by ion chromatography)

    • These standards ensure the accuracy, reliability, and reproducibility of VOC analysis using GC/MS. The international and national standards that apply to this specific laboratory test are developed and maintained by standard development organizations such as:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • Standards evolve and get updated through a continuous process of revision, which includes:

    1. Review of existing standards

    2. Identification of new requirements or technologies

    3. Development of new standards or revisions to existing ones

    Some specific standard numbers and their scope are:

  • ISO 11885:2017: Applies to the determination of dissolved anions in water by ion chromatography.

  • ASTM D7606-11: Applies to the determination of VOCs in drinking water using headspace GC/MS.

  • Temperature: Between 20C to 25C

  • Humidity: Between 40 to 60

  • Pressure: Normal atmospheric pressure

    • The sample preparation procedures involve:

    1. Sample Collection: Collecting water samples from various sources.

    2. Sample Storage: Storing samples properly to prevent contamination or degradation.

    The testing parameters and conditions are:

    1. Injection Volume: Between 10 μL to 50 μL

    2. Column Temperature: Between 30C to 300C

    3. Mass Spectrometry Settings

    The test results are documented and reported in a standard format, which includes:

    1. Summary Report: A brief summary of the testing results.

    2. Detailed Report: A detailed report providing the analysis results.

    3. Certificate of Analysis: A certificate confirming the accuracy and reliability of the analysis.

    The certification and accreditation aspects involve:

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2017 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • ISO 9001:2015 - Quality management systems

    • Conclusion

    EPA Method 8275C is a widely recognized standard for VOC analysis using GC/MS. This method is governed by various international and national standards, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and reproducibility.
