Describes principles of instrumental methods based on gas-liquid chromatography. These techniques are used in quality control work for monitoring levels of volatile organic compounds, particularly residual solvents, but cannot be used to assess the effect on food flavour of these components in the absence of supporting data from sensory tests.

This standard sets out an instrumental method based on gas-liquid chromatography for the determination of volatile compounds in packaging materials which could affect the flavour of packaged foods.This standard specifies a syringe sampling technique but does not preclude the use of more advanced techniques such as a heated gas sampling valve or automatic sampling devices.NOTE: The sampling techniques used and the concentration limits of volatile compounds (hereinafter referred to as volatiles) permissible in specific types of materials should be agreed between the user and the supplier.
