This practice is intended for all infrared spectroscopists who are using dispersive instruments for qualitative or quantitative areas of analysis.
The purpose of this practice is to set forth performance guidelines for testing instruments used in developing an analytical method. These guidelines can be used to compare an instrument in a specific application with the instrument(s) used in developing the method.
An infrared procedure must include a description of the instrumentation and of the performnace needed to duplicate the precision and accuracy of the method.
1.1This practice covers the necessary information to qualify dispersive infrared instruments for specific analytical applications, and especially for methods developed by ASTM International.
1.2 This practice is not to be used as a rigorous test of performance of instrumentation.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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.
