This standard specifies a method for the determination of free caustic alkali content in soap using the absolute ethanol method. This standard applies to ordinary sodium fatty acid soaps (calculated as NaOH), but does not apply to potassium soaps or composite soaps. Generally, free caustic alkali refers to sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for sodium soap; and potassium hydroxide (KOH) for potassium soap.
