INSTRUCTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS
- Please confirm sample receipt as soon as you have received and checked the contents of this package, preferably using the fax form that you receive together with this package. Please complete the form and send it to iis (email or fax no. + 31 181 69 4543).
- This interlaboratory study concerns 2different samples, a children’s booklet (#13044) and approx 3 grams yellow plastic granulate (#13045) for determination of number of individual phthalates.Please treat each sample as if it is a routine sample.
- DINP = Diisononylphthalate(CAS nos. 28553-12-0 & 68515-48-0)
DBP = Dibutylphthalate (CAS no. 84-74-2)
BBP= Benzylbutylphthalate(CAS no. 85-68-7)
DIDP = Diisodecylphthalate (CAS nos. 26761-40-0 & 68515-49-1)
DNOP= Dioctylphthalate (CAS no. 117-84-0)
DEHP = Bis 2-ethylhexylphthalate (CAS no. 117-81-7)
DiBP = Diisobutylphthalate(CAS no. 84-69-5)
DHP = Dihexylphthalate(CAS no. 84-75-3)
- From 16 January 2007, the phthalates DINP, DIDP and DNOP are only allowed for use in articles which cannot be placed in the mouth (entry 52 of Annex XVII to REACH Regulation 1907/2006). See the EC guideline on the interpretation of the concept.
- Each laboratory is requested to analyse the samples in the way it would normally do in day-to-day circumstances.From the booklet only the (uncoated) purple dress of the plastic puppet in the book should be tested and NOT the paper surroundings..
- Please report your analytical test results using the indicated units on the report form and the requested minimum number of significant digits. Preferably unrounded results are used for the statistical evaluation. Please do not report ‘less than’-results which are above your detection limit. Results reported as ‘less than’ cannot be used for meaningful statistical calculations.
- Complete the report forms A & B with the requested details of the analysis performed.
- Please return the completed report form to iis preferably one week after sample receipt, but in any case before the indicated closing date: MAY 5, 2013 (preferably by email).
- If you have any remarks/questions please contact:
