Scope

1.1 The test method covers infrared procedures for determining the vinyl acetate content of EVA copolymers using pressed films (Procedure A) or molded plaques (Procedure B) and internal corrections for sample thickness.

1.2 This test method is applicable to the analysis of EVA copolymers containing 0.5 to 29% vinyl acetate.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary statements are given in Section 8.

Note 1-This test method is equivalent to ISO 8985-1989(E) in title only.
