This part of this European Standard specifies rapid methods as commonly used in quality control for monitoring the level of residual solvents used in the production of flexible packaging by static headspace chromatography. The procedures described in this part involve one single injection of the headspace which implies an incomplete extraction of the solvent. The values obtained may be lower than the absolute content which should be determined according to Part 1. Residues from thermal decomposition products are not within the scope of this standard. The method is applicable to flexible packaging materials that may consist of mono- or multilayer plastic films, paper or board, foil or combinations thereof. This method does not apply to residual solvents with amounts lower than 0,5 mg/m².
