TEST METHODS OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
9. Purity of Reagents
9.1 Reagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests.
Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all reagents shall
conform to the specifications of the Committee on Analytical
Reagents of the American Chemical Society, where such
specifications are available. Other grades may be used, pro-
vided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently
high purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy of
the determination.
9.2 Unless otherwise indicated, references to water shall be
understood to mean reagent water conforming to Specification
D1193.
10. Duplicate Tests
10.1 When a determination shows nonconformity with the
specifications, a duplicate test shall be made.
