(Specification)Standard Specification for Methyl n-Amyl Ketone
Standard Specification for Methyl <span class="italic">n</span>-Amyl Ketone
ABSTRACT
This certification of coating conformance form provides procurement information concerning products being furnished in accordance with a specific coating specification and additional requirements contained in the purchase order. The certification form is divided into four headings: General Type and Description(I), Buyer Information(II), Seller Information (III), and Certification (IV). The first heading consists of the following information: generic type, manufacturer's designation, specification number, formula number, component number, component identification, and color. The second heading consists purchase order number, release number, part number, item number, and stock number. The third heading consists of seller's representative, batch number, lot number, date of manufacture, and date of certification expiration. The last heading is a paragraph describing the certification.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers methyl n-amyl ketone (98 % grade) for use in paint, varnish, lacquer, and related products.
1.2 For specific hazard information and guidance, see the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet for materials listed in this specification.
1.3 The following applies to all specified limits in this standard; for purposes of determining conformance with this standard, an observed value or a calculated value shall be rounded off "to the nearest unit" in the last right-hand digit used in expressing the specification limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E 29.
