IEC 62321-14:2026 specifies one technique for the determination of short-chain and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs: C10-C13 and MCCPs: C14-C17) in plastics of electrotechnical products. This document specifies a quantitative method for the determination of short-chain and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins in electrotechnical products by means of solvent extraction and gas chromatography-negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS). This document is a basic environment horizontal publication focusing on test methods and is primarily intended for use by committees in the preparation of publications within the area of environment in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 123. Wherever applicable, it is the responsibility of committees to make use of environment basic publications in the preparation of their environment group and product publications. Committees can apply this document directly to products when they do not develop a product publication in the area of environment.
