The U.S. domestic shipping name of isopropyl alcohol is UN No. 1219 Isopropanol. Anhydrous as well as water solutions to 91 vol % alcohol are considered flammable Hquid materials by the DOT. Both have flash poiats below 37.8°C by the Tag closed-cup method. Acceptable modes of transportation include air, rail, road, and water (124). For international air and water shipments, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) class is 3.2, the packaging group is II, and the primary hazard label required is "Flammable Liquid."... 

The standard requires the supplier to define the process employed for the calibration of inspection, measuring, and test equipment, including details of equipment type, unique identification, location, frequency of checks, check method, acceptance criteria, and the action to be taken when results are unsatisfactory. 

Liquid Penetrant Examination. All accessible surfaces of the main load carrying components of the equipment shall be examined by a liquid penetrant examination or technique conforming to the requirements of ASTM E165 Recommended Practice for the Liquid Penetrant Examination Method. Acceptance limits shall be as agreed upon by the manufacturer and the purchaser. 

The use of common moiety methods acceptable in exceptional circumstances where there is no other practical means of determining the target analyte, and in these cases, full justification is required. This should include an explanation of why the compound cannot be determined by a specific analytical technique. For existing a.i., common moiety methods are also acceptable, in cases where the residue definition includes a common moiety. Moreover, validation data must be presented separately for all relevant components. 

Soxhlet is an older method that is subject to inaccuracies however, it is still a recognized method particularly for investigating contaminated soil. It is a method accepted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). 

Equilibrium constants involving each compound were evaluated using the partial pressures by the third law method. Accepting the heats of formation of WF5 and WF obtained from bomb calorimetry, the values for WF (n = 1 to 4) could be extracted by iterative fitting to partial pressure data. The W/02/F2 and W/S/F2 systems were also examined to give heats of formation of tungsten oxo- and thiofluorides. This experimentally simple technique yields thermodynamic data on high-temperature species inaccessible to conventional calorimetry. 

Prior to our original report7 on this method, acceptable and general preparative routes to a-iodocycloalkenones had not been described. Treatment of a p-substituted cycloalkenone with trimethylsilyl azide and a mixture of iodine and pyridine sequentially in dichloromethane has now been reported as a method for the preparation of p-substituted-a-iodocycloalkenones.8 The combination of iodine and pyridinium dichromate has also been reported to provide a-iodoenones from enones as well as from ethynyl carbinols.9 10 Some successes have also been achieved with enones and iodine azide (IN3)11 and iodine/ceric ammonium nitrate.12-14 The submitters first variant5 of the present procedure used carbon tetrachloride as a solvent. In this procedure this solvent has been replaced with the more benign diethyl ether. 

The assumption of a zero intercept reduces the BET equation to equation (5.3). This assumption is, of course, not realizable since it would require a BET C value of infinity. Nevertheless, many samples possess sufficiently high C values to make the error associated with the single-point method acceptably small (see Chapter 5 and Table 5.1). 

To establish safety and to ensure consistency, the complete chemical composition should be provided for every material used in the manufacture of a packaging component. Test results from appropriate qualification and characterization tests should be provided. Adequate information regarding the tests, methods, acceptance criteria, reference standards, and validation information should be also provided. 

Qualification or validation begins with a protocol or plan that describes fully the approach, including the scope, description of equipment, utilities, test methods, acceptance criteria, etc. The approved protocol is then executed by performing the requisite number of replicates as specified in the protocol and gathering the indicated data. The final step is the preparation and approval of a report containing the findings of the activity against the acceptance criteria found in the protocol. 

Ensures that the inspection, measuring, and test equipment is capable of the accuracy and precision necessary Establishes, documents, and maintains calibration procedures, including details of equipment type, identification number, location, frequency of checks, check method, acceptance criteria, and the action to be taken when results are unsatisfactory Identifies, calibrates, and adjusts all inspection, measuring, and test equipment and devices that can affect product quality at prescribed intervals or, prior to use, against certified equipment having a known valid relationship to nationally recognized standards. Where no such standards exist, the basis used for calibration is documented. 

The RSD for each target analyte in the calibration curve must meet the method acceptance criteria before analysis may start. 

An analytical batch is a group of samples, extracts or digestates, which are analyzed sequentially using the same calibration curve and which have common analytical QC checks. These are the samples that are bracketed by the same CCVs, have the same instrument blanks, and other QC checks that may be required by the method (for example, the DDT and Endrin breakdown product check in organochlorine pesticide analysis by EPA Methods 8081). If the CCV or any of the analytical QC checks are outside the method acceptance criteria, the whole analytical batch or only the affected samples are reanalyzed.

The precision of the overall process is often determined by the extraction step rather than the analytical step. It is easier to get high-precision analytical results it is much more difficult to get reproducible extractions. For example, it is possible to run replicate chromatographic runs (GC or HPLC) with an RSD between 1 and 3%. However, several EPA-approved methods accept extraction efficiencies anywhere between 70 and 120%. This range alone represents variability as high as 75%. Consequently, in complex analytical methods that involve several preparative steps, the major contributor to variability is the sample preparation.
