Comprehensive Guide to ISO 14184-2 Determination of Formaldehyde Using HPLC Testing Services by Eurolab

The determination of formaldehyde in various samples using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is governed by the international standard ISO 14184-2. This standard outlines the requirements for testing laboratories to ensure accurate and reliable results.

Formaldehyde is a widely used chemical in various industries, including adhesives, resins, and textiles. However, it poses significant health risks due to its toxic properties. Therefore, regulatory bodies have established strict limits on formaldehyde levels in products. Laboratories must adhere to these standards to provide accurate testing results that ensure product safety.

International Standards

ISO 14184-2 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It outlines the requirements for HPLC testing of formaldehyde in various samples, including adhesives, resins, and textiles. The standard ensures that laboratories follow a uniform methodology to ensure accurate and reliable results.

In addition to ISO 14184-2, other relevant standards include:

  • ASTM D6007 (Standard Test Method for Determination of Formaldehyde in Adhesives)

  • EN 717-1 (Wood-based panels Determination of formaldehyde release Part 1: Form-aldehyde emission by the desiccator method)

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) TS EN 717-1

    • These standards ensure that laboratories follow a uniform methodology to ensure accurate and reliable results.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The development of ISO 14184-2 is overseen by standard development organizations, including:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • These organizations play a crucial role in developing and maintaining standards that ensure product safety and regulatory compliance.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards are continually evolving to reflect changing technologies, regulatory requirements, and industry needs. ISO 14184-2 has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 2000.

    The standard has been updated to reflect advances in HPLC technology, improved sample preparation methods, and more stringent regulatory limits. Laboratories must stay up-to-date with the latest standards to ensure accurate testing results.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Regulatory bodies require laboratories to comply with international standards when testing for formaldehyde levels. Non-compliance can result in fines, penalties, and reputational damage.

    Industries that require ISO 14184-2 testing include:
