Introduction

Interpretation of the National Standard of the People's Republic of China GB/T 25789-2023

Standard Overview

GB/T 25789-2023 "p-Phenylenediamine" is the national standard of the People's Republic of China, which is used to regulate the quality requirements, safety information, sampling, test methods, packaging and storage of p-Phenylenediamine products. This standard replaces the old version GB/T 25789-2010. The main updates include:

  • Changes to the quality requirements for p-phenylenediamine (Chapter 4)
  • Adjustments to the sampling volume regulations (Chapter 6)
  • Optimization of appearance evaluation method (7.2)
  • Addition of capillary melting point method (7.3.2)
  • Improvement of chromatographic operating conditions (7.4.4)

Quality Requirements Comparison Table

Serial number Item Indicator Test method chapter number
Superior product First-class product Qualified products
1 Appearance White to light red crystals Off-white to gray-brown crystals Yellow-brown to gray-brown crystals 7.2
2 Initial melting point ≥139.0 °C ≥139.0 °C ≥137.0 °C 7.3

Analysis of test methods

The standard specifies a variety of test methods, including:

  • Capillary liquid bath method (arbitration method): used to determine the initial melting point.
  • Gas chromatography: used for quantitative analysis of the purity of p-phenylenediamine and organic impurities.

Among them, the specific operating conditions of gas chromatography are shown in Table 2:

Control parameters Operating conditions
Carrier gas High purity nitrogen
Detector temperature/°C 300

Safety Information and Protection Recommendations

According to GB12268-2012, p-phenylenediamine is a Class 6.1 toxic substance, and the dangerous goods number is UN:1673. When using and handling:

  • Wear protective equipment
  • Avoid direct contact
  • Strictly abide by storage regulations

Implementation recommendations

To ensure the effective implementation of the standard, it is recommended to:

  • Strictly follow the sampling regulations
  • Use capillary melting point instrument to perform initial melting point detection
  • Standardize the calibration and maintenance of gas chromatographs
  • Strengthen employee safety training
