Abstract
The article presents information on the development of a reference method of measurements (RMM) the mass fraction of ethers of orto-phthalic acid (dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, di(n-butyl)phthalate, benzylbutyl phthalate, di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate and di(n-octyl)phthalate) in polymer matrices based on polyvinyl chloride by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with isotopic dilution. The research materials of each stage of the measurement procedure and the parameters of their optimization in terms of improving the accuracy of the measurement results of the RMM are presented. The sources of uncertainty are studied and the contributions of all components to the total standard uncertainty of the RMM measurement results are minimized. Metrological characteristics of RMM have been established: the measurement range is from 10 mg/kg to 5000 mg/kg, the standard deviation (SD) under repeatability conditions is 2 %, the SD under intermediate precision conditions is 3 %, the relative extended uncertainty is from 6 to 8 %. The results of the key international comparisons CCQM-K133 “Phthalate esters in Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)” are presented as an objective confirmation of compliance with the RMМ.
