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.
