GB/T 39560.9-2024 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products - Part 9: Hexabromocyclododecane in polymers by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) 1 Scope This document specifies two techniques for the determination of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) in polymers of electrotechnical products. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) test method is described in the normative part of this document. The GC-MS method is suitable for the determination of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD). A method using high-pressure liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) is given in informative Annex A. These test methods have been evaluated for use with EPS (expanded polystyrene foam), XPS (extruded polystyrene foam) and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) within the concentration ranges as specified in Table 1. The use of this method for other types of materials or concentration ranges outside those specified below has not been evaluated. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

This technique is suitable to determinate total HBCDD instead of separated HBCDD isomers. Note: The thermal stability of HBCDD is poor. The results can be influenced by the temperature testing conditions.
