1、 Basic physical and chemical properties

2、 Chemical properties and purity analysis

3、 Thermal properties and stability

4、 Purity and impurities (used for regulating chemicals)

Suitable for industrial grade, reagent grade, electronic grade, etc.:

5、 Environmental fate and ecotoxicological testing (commonly used for chemical registration)

These are performance data required by regulations such as REACH and China's new chemical substance registration.

The above standards are all used for chemical environmental safety assessment.

6、 China's mandatory national standards (for hazardous chemicals)

For products listed in the Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals, hazard characteristic testing must be conducted according to the following standards:

• GB 30000. x series (Specification for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, consistent with GHS)

• GB 5085.1~7 (Identification criteria for hazardous waste, including corrosiveness, acute toxicity, leaching toxicity, etc.)

• GB 12268 (List of Dangerous Goods, Transport Classification)

Typical hazard performance test:

• Oxidation (GB/T 21620)

• Corrosivity (GB/T 21621, for metals)

• Self reactive ability (GB/T 21624)

• Release of flammable gases upon contact with water (GB/T 21619)

7、 Quick index of commonly used international standards (non specialized fields)

8、 How to find testing standards for specific chemicals

1. If the chemical name or CAS number is known, the corresponding product standards (such as GB/T, HG, ISO standards) can be queried, for example, industrial ethanol has GB/T 6820.

2. Determine the purpose of the test:

   • Quality control → check product standards or general methods (such as density, moisture, content)

   • Transportation safety → Check the classification standards for dangerous goods (UN38.3, GB 12268)

   • Environmental Release Registration (REACH, China New Chemical Substance Registration Order No. 10) → Refer to OECD Testing Guidelines

   • R&D formula → check ASTM/ISO performance test (such as interfacial tension, foam behavior)

3. Utilize database:

   • China: National Standard Information Public Service Platform（std.samr.gov.cn）

   • International:ISO.org、 ASTM International OECD iLibrary（ecolink.oecd.org）

   • Hazard: UN ECE Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Manual of Tests and Standards
