Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard is applicable to the inspection of working chemical benzoic acid used in titration analysis. It specifies the properties, specifications, testing methods, inspection rules, and packaging requirements for this specific chemical reagent. It is mandatory for manufacturers producing working-grade benzoic acid for analytical purposes in China. The standard is not intended for general industrial or food-grade benzoic acid.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines the physical and chemical specifications for working chemical benzoic acid. It mandates strict purity requirements, with the content of C6H5COOH required to fall within a highly specific range. Additionally, the standard sets limits on the melting point range and clarity of the reagent. Compliance with these physical parameters is essential to ensure the reagent's reliability as a titration standard. Regarding chemical impurities, the standard defines maximum allowable limits for several critical categories, including ignition residue, chlorine compounds, and sulfur compounds. It also restricts the presence of trace metals such as iron and heavy metals (as Pb). Manufacturers must ensure their products meet these stringent impurity thresholds to qualify as working-grade reagents. Furthermore, the standard specifies requirements for reducing potassium permanganate substances and easily carbonizable substances. These parameters ensure the chemical stability and purity of the benzoic acid during analytical procedures.
Testing methods
The testing procedures involve several standardized methods to verify compliance. The content determination is performed using a gravimetric potentiometric titration method, referencing GB 10737-2007. Melting point range is measured according to GB/T 617. Impurity tests for chlorides, sulfates, and iron follow the general methods outlined in GB/T 9729, GB/T 9728, and GB/T 9739, respectively. All tests must be conducted using reagents and water meeting the specified grade requirements to ensure accuracy.
