Significance and Use
A brief discussion of each test method is given with the intent of helping the user in the selection of the most applicable procedure where more than one is available.
1. Scope
1.1 This guide covers procedures for the sampling and testing of volatile solvents used in the manufacture of paint, lacquer, varnish, and related products. The test methods are listed in Table 1.
1.2 For specific hazard information and guidance, see Suppliers' Material Safety Data Sheet for materials listed in this guide.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
