This Part of BS 6392 describes a titrimetric method for estimation of the content of carbonyl compounds present in moderate amounts in ethanol for industrial use.

The method is applicable to products having carbonyl compounds contents, expressed as acetaldehyde, equal to or greater than 0,01 % (m/m).

NOTE 1 This method, which is used commercially, allows determination of only those carbonyl compounds which react under the specified conditions.

NOTE 2 The title of the publication referred to in this standard is given on the inside back cover.
