6、ium contents Flame atomic absorption method”, published in 1976 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as a British Standard without deviation. Some terminology and
7、 certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is especially drawn to the following. The comma has been used throughout as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker. Wherever the wor
8、ds “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “British Standard”. The standards listed in the Annex are intended for information only. Corresponding British Standards are listed in BS6075-0. Additional information Hydrochloric acid, approximately1.18g/ml, abo
9、ut36% (m/m) solution, which is the corresponding reagent normally obtainable in the UK, is suitable for use in place of the solution specified in 4.1. WARNING. Acetylene is highly flammable and, in some circumstances, can be explosive. Instrument manufacturers recommendations concerning the use of g
10、aseous mixtures containing acetylene (see 5.1) should therefore be closely followed. Attention is also drawn to the need for compliance with the requirements of the Compressed Acetylene Order, 1947 (SR and O1947: No. 805), relating to permissible pressures for the use of acetylene. A British Standar
11、d does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Cross-reference International Standard Corresponding Briti
