37、 Depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process other impurities may be present and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when necessary to relevant authorities. NOTE Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appropriate pu
38、rity for treatment of water intended for human consumption, taking into account raw water quality, required dosage, contents of other impurities and additives used in the product not stated in this product standard .

Whenever it is ne
45、cessary to take a sample of ammonia solution from a bulk container, cool the container and vent it to the atmosphere before removing any stopper or cover. Take care to ensure that any escaping ammonia gas is discharged at a point remote from personnel. Withdraw samples from the tank by means of a sa
46、mpling thief made of 25 mm diameter polyethylene or polypropylene tubing, 2 m long and tapered at each end to 10 mm diameter over a minimum of 100 mm tube length. Transfer samples taken from tanks immediately into clean glass screw-stoppered bottles, cool them immediately and keep them in a cool pla
47、ce (e.g. cold water bath or fridge) until required for analysis. Use the following procedure : a) take two consecutive 500 ml samples and discard both in order to clear the sampling tube and bottle and to obtain representative material ; b) take the sample required in a bottle fitted with an interna
48、l solid screw-stopper and rubber gasket. Tighten the stopper as soon as the sample is in the bottle. 5.1.2 Sampling from drums, carboys and bottles General : Do not use suction during the withdrawal of the sample, especially with concentrated solutions, since reduction of pressure readily depletes t
49、he solution of ammonia gas. 5.1.2.1 Drums SAFETY PRECAUTIONS : Do not use compressed air to discharge ammonia solution from drums. Sample from drums by pouring, by siphoning or by means of a polyethylene or polypropylene sampling thief. If the sample is to be obtained from pouring, use a specially constructed elevated platform to hold the drum, and a screw-in pourer and funnel to facilitate transfer and reduce the risk from splashing. If the sample is to be obtained by siphoning, use a suitable siphon constructed from stainless steel, polye
