PD CEN/TS 17497 discusses the chemical composition of pulp, paper, and paperboard products from a quality perspective.
PD CEN/TS 17497 specifies an analytical test method for the determination of bisphenol A in solvent extracts of paper and board materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs using a high-performance liquid chromatograph coupled to a fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD).
PD CEN/TS 17497 is applied to determine bisphenol A in concentrations ranging from 0.025 mg/l to 2 mg/l in the solvent extracts, corresponding to 0.05 mg/kg to 4 mg/kg paper and board.
In PD CEN/TS 17497 method, the measurement range can easily be extended up to 40 mg/kg by adjusting the concentration factor of the solvent extract.
PD CEN/TS 17497 on determining bisphenol A in paper and paperboard is applicable to:
Bisphenol A (BPA) is found in a variety of consumer products, including paper products like newspapers, magazines, tickets, paper towels etc. Prolonged human exposure to BPA due to being in contact with paper and paper products can lead to obesity and attention disorders. Determination of Bisphenol A in paper and paperboard is an essential step for safety assessment of their end products.
The HPLC-FLD method described in PD CEN/TS 17497 determines the bisphenol A content in paper products. PD CEN/TS 17497 informs you about the HPLC-FLD method and helps you perform it accurately by providing the step-by-step procedure.
PD CEN/TS 17497 enables you to verify that the bisphenol levels in your paper products do not exceed a specified limit
