Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

ISO 18254-2:2018(E)
Introduction
This document specifies the normal phase liquid chromatography (NPLC) separation method for the
quantitative and qualitative analysis of extractable alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO) in textile and
textile products. NPLC separation method enables alkylphenol ethoxylates to be analysed by high
performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) with Mass Spectrometer (MS), fluorescence detector (FD),
charged aerosol detector (CAD) and evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD).
A study of the contribution percentage (mole fraction) of APEO congeners is presented in Annex D.

1 Scope
This document specifies the normal phase liquid chromatography (NPLC) separation method for the
qualitative and quantitative analysis of extractable alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO) in textiles and
textile products.
This method provides several instrument options for the determination of alkylphenol ethoxylates
(APEO) such as normal phase liquid chromatograph with mass spectrometer (NPLC/MS), normal phase
liquid chromatograph with fluorescence detector (NPLC/FLD), normal phase liquid chromatograph
with charged aerosol detector (NPLC/CAD) and normal phase liquid chromatograph with evaporative
light scattering detector (NPLC/ELSD).

4 Principle
The test specimen is cut into small pieces, transferred to a sample vial and treated with methanol
in ultrasonic water bath. The extract is filtered and collected. Subsequently, the collected extract is
analysed by NPLC/MS, NPLC/FLD, NPLC/CAD or NPLC/ELSD.
5 Reagents
Unless otherwise specified, analytical grade chemicals shall be used.
