Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the properties, specifications, testing methods, inspection rules, and packaging for pH primary reagent - Potassium hydrogen phthalate. It is applicable to the inspection and quality control of this specific chemical reagent used as a pH benchmark. Compliance with this standard is mandatory for manufacturers producing pH primary reagents in China. The standard replaces the previous GB 6857-1986.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines the mandatory specifications for potassium hydrogen phthalate, focusing on its purity and physical-chemical properties. Chapter 4 and Section 5.3 are designated as mandatory requirements, while other clauses are recommended. Key parameters regulated include the pH(S)II value of the solution, the main content (purity) percentage, and limits for various impurities such as chlorides, sulfates, and heavy metals. Manufacturers must ensure their product meets these strict purity tiers to be certified as a pH primary reagent. The standard also defines acceptable limits for clarity, loss on drying, and water-insoluble matter, referencing general chemical reagent testing guidelines like GB/T 601 and GB/T 602.
Testing methods
Testing procedures are detailed to verify compliance with the specified limits. The pH(S)II value is determined using a palladium hydrogen electrode according to GB 6851. Purity (content) is measured following the methods in GB 1257-2007. Impurity testing includes flame atomic absorption spectrometry for sodium, and colorimetric or turbidimetric methods for heavy metals, iron, and ammonium. Specific safety and health measures must be taken during testing due to the toxic or corrosive nature of some reagents used. Sampling and acceptance rules follow HG/T 3921.
