This European Standard specifies a test method for the determination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in an aqueous
extract in pulp, paper and board. Though it is developed for paper and board intended to come into contact with
foodstuffs, it is applicable to all kinds of pulp, paper and board.
NOTE 1 It was investigated that a hot water extract (acc. to EN 647) is sufficient for the determination of PCP in pulp, paper
and board.
The working range for the method is 0,05 mg/kg to 0,5 mg/kg.
NOTE 2 The upper limit of the working range could be increased if the aqueous extract is diluted.
Das Prüfverfahren wurde für Papier und Pappe, die mit Lebensmitteln in Kontakt kommen, entwickelt, ist aber für alle anderen Arten von Zellstoff, Papier und Pappe anwendbar. Der Nachweisbereich liegt zwischen 0,05 mg/kg und 0,5 mg/kg.
