## Notice

The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requirement is for a gas chromatograph (GC) with a flame ionisation detector (FID) coupled with a mass spectrometer (MS) with a quadrupole detector for the quantitative analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in nitrogen. The purpose is to move away from the current labour-intensive use of two separate systems through combining their characteristics in one sole instrument for the analysis of multicomponent VOCs gas standards.
