comparison with GB/T 678-2002, apart from structural adjustments and editorial modifications,
the main technical changes are as follows.
---The liquid-phase chromatography purity grade, technical requirements and
determination methods are added (see Chapter 5 and Chapter 6);
---The technical requirements for ethanol are modified, and the technical requirement for
top-grade purity is adjusted from " 99.8%" to " 99.9%" (see Chapter 5; Chapter 4 of
Version 2002);
---The unit of acidity and alkalinity is adjusted from "mmol/100 g" to "mmol/g" (see
Chapter 5; Chapter 4 of Version 2002);
---The technical requirements for moisture are modified, and the technical requirement for
top-grade purity is adjusted from " 0.2%" to " 0.1%" (see Chapter 5; Chapter 4 of
Version 2002);
---The technical requirements for methanol are modified, and the technical requirement
for top-grade purity is adjusted from " 0.02%" to " 0.005%" (see Chapter 5; Chapter
4 of Version 2002);
---The technical requirements and determination methods for n-propanol are added (see
Chapter 5 and 6.11);
---The determination methods for ethanol, methanol and isopropanol are modified (see 6.2,
6.10 and 6.11; 5.1, 5.8 and 5.9 of Version 2002);
---The determination method for density using a vibrating-type liquid density meter is
added (see 6.4);
---The packaging and marking are modified (see Chapter 8; Chapter 7 of Version 2002).
