Standard Specification for Acetaldehyde

ABSTRACT
This specification covers acetaldehyde of a specific grade. The materials should conform to the specified requirements for purity, color, acidity and nonvolatile matter content.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers acetaldehyde (99 % grade).
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
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.
1.4 For specific hazard information and guidance, see the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet for materials listed in this specification.
