BS EN 15768:2015

This standard BS EN 15768:2015 Influence of materials on water intended for human consumption. GC-MS identification of water leachable organic substances is classified in these ICS categories:

• 67.250 Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs
• 71.040.50 Physicochemical methods of analysis
• 13.060.20 Drinking water

This European Standard describes a method for detecting and identifying organic chemicals that are amenable to GC-MS analysis using the procedures described and which can migrate from a product into water intended for human consumption. This European Standard does not provide all the necessary tools to completely identify all the substances that are detected. A method of semi-quantitatively estimating the concentrations of the organic substances detected is also provided, however, concentrations should only be seen as indicative.
