- di-iso-butyl phthalate (DIBP),

- di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP),

- benzylbutyl phthalate (BBP),

- bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP),

- di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP),

- di-iso-nonylphthalate (DINP), and di-iso-decyl phthalate (DIDP),

- 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C9-11-branched alkyl esters, C10-rich,

- 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C8-10-branched alkyl esters, C9-rich, in children's products and toys.

The method described is appropriate for materials made from plastics, coatings, and liquids.

Purpose

Development of a new standard for a common test method for phthalate content
