Comprehensive Guide to ISO 11885 ICP-OES Detection of Plasticizers Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 11885 is an international standard that governs the testing method for detecting plasticizers in water and other substances using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). This standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and provides a globally recognized protocol for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of plasticizer detection.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 11885 ICP-OES Detection of Plasticizers testing is governed by various international and national standards. For instance, the European Unions Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC) sets limits on the concentration of certain substances, including plasticizers, in drinking water. Similarly, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the presence of plasticizers in drinking water under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).

International and National Standards

The following standards apply to ISO 11885 ICP-OES Detection of Plasticizers testing:

  • ISO 11885:2007(E): Water quality - Determination of selected phthalates by ion pair high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)

  • ASTM D7426-08: Standard Practice for Infrared Spectroscopy for the Identification of Plasticizers

  • EN 14346:2004A1:2013: Water quality - Determination of selected phthalates and other plasticizers in water by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining standards. In the case of ISO 11885, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for its publication and maintenance.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect advances in technology, changes in regulations, or new scientific discoveries. The ISO 11885 standard has undergone revisions since its initial publication in 2007, with the most recent revision occurring in 2020.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with ISO 11885 is essential for industries and sectors where plasticizer detection is critical. For instance:

  • Water treatment plants

  • Industrial processes

  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing

  • Food processing

    • Inadequate or inaccurate testing can result in non-compliance, reputational damage, and financial losses.

    Why this specific test is needed

    The detection of plasticizers using ICP-OES is a critical aspect of ensuring water quality and safety. Plasticizers are often used as additives in industrial processes, but they can also contaminate water sources if not properly disposed of.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting ISO 11885 Testing

    Conducting ISO 11885 testing provides several benefits:

  • Ensures compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Protects public health and safety

  • Prevents environmental contamination

  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing

  • Food processing

  • Environmental monitoring

    • Risk Factors and Safety Implications

    Non-compliance with regulatory requirements can result in severe consequences, including fines, reputational damage, and even legal action.

    Quality Assurance and Quality Control Aspects

    Eurolab ensures that all testing is conducted under strict quality control measures, including:

  • Calibration and validation procedures

  • Data collection and recording procedures

  • Testing timeframes and duration

    • Step-by-Step Explanation of How the Test is Conducted

    The ISO 11885 ICP-OES Detection of Plasticizers testing process involves the following steps:

    1. Sample preparation: Collect and prepare water or other substance samples for analysis.

    2. Calibration and validation: Calibrate and validate the ICP-OES instrument using certified reference materials.

    3. Testing: Analyze the sample using ICP-OES, monitoring for the presence of plasticizers.

    4. Data collection and recording: Record test results in accordance with established protocols.

    Testing Equipment and Instruments

    Eurolab utilizes state-of-the-art equipment, including:

  • Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES)

  • Gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS)

    • Sample Preparation Procedures

    Sample preparation involves collecting and preparing water or other substance samples for analysis. This includes filtering, drying, and homogenizing the sample.

    Testing Parameters and Conditions

    The ICP-OES instrument is calibrated and validated using certified reference materials before testing begins. Testing parameters include:

  • Instrument settings (e.g., plasma power, gas flows)

  • Sample preparation procedures

  • Data collection and recording protocols

    • Data Collection and Recording Procedures

    Test results are recorded in accordance with established protocols, including:

  • Instrument calibration and validation records

  • Sample identification and preparation records

  • Test result data sheets
