BS 3762 discusses the analysis of formulated detergents. BS 3762-2 belongs to the BS 3762 multi-series and discusses qualitative test methods.
BS 3762-2 describes qualitative tests that may be required as preliminary steps to applying methods of analysis described in other Parts and Sections of BS 3762.
BS 3762-2 on qualitative tests methods for the analysis of formulated detergents is useful for:
A quantitative test tells you how much (the quantity) of an analyte is present. After the presence of an analyte has been established (which may involve a second, confirmatory test), the amount of the analyte present in the sample then may be measured.
The tests in BS 3762-2 are for the type of surface-active agent, oxidizing agents, peroxy-compounds, urea, and fluorescent whitening agent. BS 3762-2 provides you with reagents and guides you with procedures and test reports. BS 3762-2 helps you with the preliminary steps to be applied to methods of analysis described in other Parts and Sections of BS 3762.
