Determination of OC-pesticides and PCBs by GC/ECD BS EN 15742 specifies a gas chromatographic method with electron capture detection (ECD) for the determination of organochlorine pesticides (OC’s) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in animal feeding stuffs. The method applies to animal feeding stuffs with a water content up to about 20 wt% and oil/fatty samples containing residues of one or more of the following OC’s, PCBs, toxaphene and some of their isomers and degradation products:

Aldrin Dieldrin Chlorocamphene (Toxaphene) Chlordane (= sum of Chlordane isomers and Oxychlordane) DDT (= sum of isomers op'-DDT, pp'-DDT, pp'-TDE (pp'-DDD), and pp'-DDE) Endosulfan (sum of α-/β-isomers and Endosulfan-sulphate) Endrin Heptachlor (= sum of Heptachlor and β-Heptachlorepoxide) Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) Hexachlorocyclohexane isomers α-HCH (α-BHC), β-HCH (β-BHC), γ-HCH (γ-BHC or lindane) PCB 28, 52, 101, 138, 153 and 180 (“Indicator PCBs”) and PCB 198, 209.
