1.1 This test method covers the determination of specific impurities in, and the purity of benzene for cyclohexane feedstock by gas chromatography.
1.2 This test method has been found applicable to benzene in the range from 99 % to 100 % purity and to impurities at concentrations of 2 mg ⁄kg to 10 000 mg ⁄kg. The limit of detection (LOD) is 2 mg/kg for an impurity and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) is 6 mg/kg for an impurity.
1.3 In determining the conformance of the test results using this method to applicable specifications, results shall be rounded off in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see
7.2 and Section 8.
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
