Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to pH primary reagent sodium tetraborate decahydrate (Na2B4O7·10H2O), primarily utilized in analytical chemistry for pH value determination and calibration. It is specifically designed for the inspection and quality control of pH基准试剂 and does not apply to general industrial-grade borax.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies stringent physical and chemical requirements for sodium tetraborate decahydrate. It mandates a specific pH(S)II value range for a 0.01mol/kg solution at 25°C, ensuring its viability as a reliable pH primary standard. Compliance with this pH specification is strictly mandatory. Furthermore, the standard outlines the required purity level, indicating a minimum mass fraction percentage for the active ingredient. It also sets maximum allowable limits for various impurities, including chlorides, sulfates, phosphates, and heavy metals (such as lead and iron), to prevent interference in precise analytical applications. Additional quality parameters include clarity test limits and specific thresholds for insoluble matter in hydrochloric acid. Manufacturers must ensure their product meets all specified impurity thresholds to achieve certification.
Testing methods
The standard details various testing procedures to verify compliance. The pH value determination must be conducted according to GB 6851 using a platinum double-hydrogen electrode. Content assay is performed via an acid-base titration method utilizing standard sodium hydroxide and mannitol. Impurity testing involves standardized chemical and instrumental methods, such as flame atomic absorption spectrometry for potassium determination, and visual colorimetric/turbidimetric comparisons for impurities like chlorides, sulfates, and heavy metals. Strict adherence to these specified testing protocols is required for valid certification.
