This European Standard specifies an analytical test method for the determination of phthalates in water, solvent and modified polyphenylene oxide (MPPO) extracts of paper and board materials and articles intended for food contact using gas chromat ography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

This method is applicable to the determination of phthalates in concentration ranging from 0,025 mg/l to 0,5 mg/l for water and solvent extracts and 0,002 mg/dm2 to 0,040 mg/dm2 for MPPO migration depending on the individual substance, the specified volume used for analysis and the value of the blank.
