4.2.2 Sampling.
4.2.2.2 For trichloroethylene test. See 6.5 for sampling and testing pre-
cautions. Sampling shall be conducted in accordance with table II. A repre-
sensitive specimen of approximately 750 milliliters (mL) shall be removed from
each sample container and placed in a suitable clean, dry container labeled to
identify the lot and container from which it was taken.
4.2.3.1 For examination of packaging. The sample unit shall be one filled
unit or shipping container, as applicable, ready for shipment. Sample unit and
shipping containers shall be examined for the following defects using an AQL of

4.2.3.3 For container leakage test. See 6.5 for sampling and testing pre-
cautions. The sample unit shall be one container. The sample containers
selected in 4.2.2.3 shall be tested as specified in 4.2.5 using an AQL of 1.5
percent defective.
4.2.4 Trichloroethylene tests. See 6.5 for sampling and testing precau-
tions. In accordance with ASTM D 1193 and reagent grade chemicals shall be used
throughout the tests. Where applicable, blank determinations shall be run and
corrections applied where significant. Tests shall be conducted as follows:

ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Percent acidity as hydrochloric acid = MS
4VN
ÄÄÄ
Percent alkalinity, as sodium hydroxide = MS
