5 Test methods
5.1 Sampling
5.1.1 Relevant Standards
Observe the general recommendations of ISO 3165 and take account of ISO 6206.
5.1.2 Sampling from drums and bottles
5.1.2.1 General
5.1.2.1.1 Mix the contents of the container to be sampled by shaking the container, by rolling it or by
rocking it from side to side, taking care not to damage the container or spill any of the liquid.
5.1.2.1.2 If the design of the container is such (for example, a narrow-necked bottle) that it is impracticable
to use a sampling implement, take a sample by pouring after the contents have been thoroughly mixed.
Otherwise, proceed as described in 5.1.2.1.3.
5.1.2.1.3 Examine the surface of the liquid. If there are signs of surface contamination, take samples from
the surface as described in 5.1.2.2; otherwise, take samples as described in 5.1.2.3.

5.1.2.2 Surface sampling
Take a sample using a suitable ladle. Lower the ladle into the liquid until the rim is just below the surface, so
that the surface layer runs into it. Withdraw the ladle just before it fills completely and allow any liquid adhering
to the ladle to drain off. If necessary, repeat this operation so that, when the other selected containers have
been sampled in a similar manner, the total volume of sample required for subsequent analysis is obtained.
5.1.2.3 Bottom sampling
Take a sample using an open sampling tube, or a bottom-valve sampling tube, suited to the size of container
and the viscosity of the liquid.
When using an open sampling tube, close it at the top and then lower the bottom end to the bottom of the
container. Open the tube and move it rapidly so that the bottom of the tube traverses the bottom of the
container before the tube is filled. Close the tube, withdraw it from the container and allow any liquid adhering
to the outside of the tube to drain off.
When using a bottom-valve sampling tube, close the valve before lowering the tube into the container and
then proceed in a similar manner to that when using an open sampling tube.
5.1.3 Sampling from tanks and tankers
From each access point, take samples as follows:
a) from the surface of the liquid, using a ladle as described in 5.1.2.2;
b) from the bottom of the tank or tanker, using a sampling tube as described in 5.1.2.3 or using a specially
designed bottom-sampling apparatus;
c) from one or more positions, depending on the overall depth, between the bottom and the surface using a
weighted sampling can.
5.2 Analysis

greater than the repeatability limit value, r, as calculated from the following formula:

5.2.2.1.4 Procedure
5.2.2.1.4.1 Calibration
Prepare accurately four synthetic mixtures with formic acid (5.2.2.1.2.4) in the range of 10 mg/kg to 1 000
mg/kg in acetic acid (5.2.2.1.2.1).
Add accurately by weighting, butan-2-one (5.2.2.1.2.3) to give a final concentration of 500 mg/kg. Using the
purity of each component correct the mass of each mixture. Inject the samples into the gas chromatograph.
From the area and corrected masses calculate the area ratio and mass ratio of each component relative to
butan-2-one and plot on linear/linear graph paper the mass ratio on the y-axis and the area ratio on the x-axis.
The slope of the graph gives the response factor for the component relative to butan-2-one.
