This document specifies an analytical test method for the determination of bisphenol A in solventextracts of paper and board materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs using ahigh performance liquid chromatograph coupled to a fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD).
This method can be applied to determine bisphenol A (see Table 1) in concentrations ranging from0,025 mg/l to 2 mg/l in the solvent extracts, corresponding to 0,05 mg/kg to 4 mg/kg paper and board.The measurement range can easily be extended up to 40 mg/kg by adjusting the concentration factor ofthe solvent extract.
