Designation:D813321Standard Test Method forDetermination of Low Level Phthalates in Poly(VinylChloride)Plastics by Solvent ExtractionGasChromatography/Mass Spectrometry1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8133;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method provides a procedure to quantify sixphthalates by solvent extraction of plasticized PVC articlesfollowed by analysis of the extract by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.Six phthalates,BBP,DBP,DEHP,DNOP,DINP,and DIDP,are used to illustrate how to implement themethod.NOTE1The method can be extended to other phthalates in a widerange of polymeric substrates.1.2 Within the context of this method,“low level”is definedas 1000 ppm.1.3 The values in SI units are to be regarded as standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.NOTE2There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D883 Terminology Relating to PlasticsD1600 Terminology forAbbreviated Terms Relating to Plas-ticsD3465 Test Method for Purity of Monomeric Plasticizers byGas ChromatographyD7083 Practice for Determination of Monomeric Plasticiz-ers in Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)by Gas Chromatogra-phyD7823 Test Method for Determination of Low Level Phtha-lates in Poly(Vinyl Chloride)Plastics by ThermalDesorptionGas Chromatography/Mass SpectrometryD7993 Guide for Analyzing Complex PhthalatesE177 Practice for Use of the Terms Precision and Bias inASTM Test MethodsE355 Practice for Gas Chromatography Terms and Relation-shipsE594 Practice for Testing Flame Ionization Detectors Usedin Gas or Supercritical Fluid ChromatographyE691 Practice for Conducting an Interlaboratory Study toDetermine the Precision of a Test MethodIEEE/ASTM SI-10 Practice for Use of the InternationalSystem of Units(SI),the Modernized Metric System2.2 ASTM Adjuncts:ADJD7823-EAVinyl Plasticizer LibraryTotal Ion Chromatograms andMass Spectra2.3 CPSC Standard:3CPSC-CH-C100109.3 Standard Operating Procedure forDetermination of Phthalates3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definition of plastic terms used in this standard,see Terminologies D883 and D1600.3.2 For units,symbols,and abbreviations used in thisstandard refer to Practices E594,E355,or IEEE/ASTM SI-10.3.3 Compounds and Instrumentation:3.3.1(DOA)Hexanedioic acid,1,6-bis(2-ethylhexyl)esterCAS#103-23-13.3.2(DINCH)1,2-Cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid,dinonylester,branched and linear CAS#474919-59-01This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D20 on Plasticsand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D20.70 on Analytical Methods.Current edition approved Jan.15,2021.Published February 2021.Originallyapproved in 2017.Last previous edition approved in 2020 as D8133 20.DOI:10.1520/D8133-21.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission(CPSC),4330 EastWest Hwy.,Bethesda,MD 20814,http:/www.cpsc.gov.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.13.3.3(DBP)1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid,1,2-di-n-butylester CAS#84-74-23.3.4(BBP)Benzyl butyl phthalate CAS#85-68-73.3.5(DEHP)Bis(2-ethyhexyl)phthalate CAS#117-81-73.3.6(DNOP)Di(n-octyl)phthalate CAS#117-84-03.3.7(DINP)1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid,di-C8-10-branched alkyl esters,C9-rich(Jayflex)CAS#68515-48-03.3.8(DINP)1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid,1,2-diisononyl(Palatinol)CAS#28553-12-03.3.9(DIDP)1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid,di-C9-11-branched alkyl esters,C10-rich(Jayflex)CAS#68515-49-13.3.10(DIDP)1,2-Benzenedicarboxylicacid,1,2-diisodecyl CAS#26761-40-03.3.11 GC Gas Chro
