10、SO5938:1979 “Cryolite, natural and artificial, and aluminium fluoride for industrial use Determination of sulphur content X-ray fluorescence spectrometric method”. ISO5938 was originally disapproved by the United Kingdom at Member Body stage. The standard, as published, has been amended in respect o
11、f the main UnitedKingdom criticisms and this has led to a reversal of the original vote. Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for publication, without deviation, as a British Standard. Some terminology and certain conventions are not ident
12、ical with those used in British Standards; attention is especially drawn to the following. Wherever the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “British Standard”. The comma has been used throughout as a decimal marker. In British Standards, it is cu
13、rrent practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker. There is no British Standard identical with ISO1619:1976, referred to in the text. However, a related British Standard for ISO1619 is BS5050:1974 “Methods of test for cryolite”, clause2, “Preparation and storage of test sample
14、s”. The other International Standards listed in the Annex are for information only. Corresponding British Standards are listed below.

22、elopment and to conform to BSI layout. In accordance with current policy, the remaining standards are to be published without alteration, as separate dual-numbered (BSI/ISO) Parts of this British Standard. In order to establish a uniform and acceptable overall layout, it is intended, in conjunction,
23、 to revise the1974 edition, progressively replacing it by the International Standards, without alteration, as separate Parts of this British Standard. The change will be made, for each Part, immediately following the routine five-yearly review of the International Standard concerned. This will ensur
24、e that the revised standard satisfies current requirements and will allow the UnitedKingdom to propose changes if the International Standards are not completely acceptable as they stand. It is expected, however, that such changes will be minimal. When the process of revision has been completed, the1
25、974 edition will be withdrawn. BS4993-1, BS4993-2 and BS4993-3, although published in separate Parts, differ from the corresponding International Standards in a similar manner to the methods in BS5050:1974 and will therefore be revised, with the same objective, i.e.of complete identity with the corr
26、esponding International Standards. Additional information Water. Water complying with the requirements of clause5 is specified in BS3978 “Water for laboratory use”. WARNING. Sodium fluoride, referred to in5.3 and5.4, is toxic and is irritant in the form of dust. Avoid inhalation of dust. Prevent con
27、tact with eyes and skin. NOTETextual errors. In Table 2, “Proportional gas type” should be read as “Proportional gas flow type”. In the note to7.3.3, line3, insert “to” before “eliminate”. These standards prescribe methods of test only, and should not be used or quoted as a specification defining li
28、mits of purity. Reference to the standards should state that the methods of test used conform to BS4993, or BS5050, as appropriate. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Com
