| Summary: | This document specifies a method to identify and quantify trace chemicals potentially present in single-use absorbent hygiene products (AHPs). It is applicable for the investigation of single-use baby diapers, single-use menstrual products and single-use adult incontinence products. The results of this method are dependent on the prescribed extraction conditions, in which simulated body fluids are used exclusively. Table 1 shows the various product categories in scope.
