24、g an electron capture detector (ECD). The method gives the total PCB content and is especially useful when a detailed analysis of PCB congeners is necessary. Other methods, such as IEC60997, may be used when a less detailed analysis is acceptable. The method is applicable to unused, reclaimed (inclu
25、ding dechlorinated and chemically and/or physically treated), or used insulating liquids contaminated by PCBs. 2 Normative reference The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this normative document. At the time of publicatio
26、n, the edition indicated was valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative document indicated below.

IEC 60475:1974, Method of sampling liquid dielectrics. 3 Definitions For the purposes of the International Standard, the following definitions apply: 3.1 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) a biphenyl substituted by one to ten chlorine atoms NOTEF
28、or legal purposes, congeners with one, two or ten chlorine atoms may be excluded from this definition. 3.2 congener all the chlorine derivatives of biphenyl, irrespective of the number of chlorine atoms, are termed congeners NOTEThere are 209 possible PCB congeners. These are listed inTable B.1. The
29、 congener numbers (IUPAC) 1)are for easy identification; they do not represent the order of chromatographic elution. 4 Principle The PCB congeners are determined by temperature programmed gas chromatography. The chromatograph uses a high-efficiency capillary column to separate the PCBs into single o
30、r small groups of overlapping congeners. The sensitivity of the electron capture detector (ECD) may be reduced by the presence of mineral oil. In this method the sample is diluted100times to reduce this effect to a minimum. A sample preparation (clean-up) procedure is used to remove most of the impu
31、rities likely to interfere with the determination. Reference compounds are included to enable calculation of experimental relative retention times (ERRTs) which are compared to a data file of peak ERRTs to identify individual or groups of unresolved congeners. An internal standard is added for quant
32、ification. Relative response factors (RRF), taken from the data files (9.1), corrected by experimental relative response factors (ERRFs) obtained from reference compounds, are applied to identified peaks to quantify the individual (or groups of) congeners, and the values summed to give total PCB con
