1.1 The guide summarizes the currently available tests and analyses to evaluate waste plastic process oil (WPPO). The guide covers the foundational critical parameters, including composition, physical properties, and contaminants. Not all referenced standards include waste plastic process oil in their scope and precision statement. Users may need to develop modifications to the standards to be applicable to WPPO until the standards have been modified or new standards are developed to include WPPO, or both.

1.2 Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
