INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION
FOREWORD
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation
of national standards institutes (IS0 Member Bodies). The work of developing
International Standards is carried out through IS0 Technical Committees. Every
Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set
up has the right to be represented on that Committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the Technical Committees are circulated

to the Member Bodies for approval before their acceptance as International
Standards by the IS0 Council.

This International Standard specifies a volumetric method Transfer the test portion (6.1) to a beaker and dissolve in
for the determination of the boric acid content of boric about 120 ml of water by heating, avoiding boiling. Cool the
acid for industrial use. solution to ambient temperature, add approximately 15 g
of the mannitol or sorbitol (3.1) and 0.4 ml of the phenol-
phthalein solution (3.4). Titrate the solution with the
