Designation:D119306(Reapproved 2011)Federal Test MethodStandard No.7916Standard Specification forReagent Water1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1193;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This specification describes the required characteristicsof waters deemed suitable for use with the Standards under thejurisdiction of ASTM.1.2 The alphanumeric characters ascribed to water types andgrades are specified in the ASTM Format and Style Manual.These have been assigned in order of historical precedence andshould not be taken as an indication of a progression in waterpurity.1.3 Four types of waters have been specified,with threeadditional grades that can be applied to the four types.Thegrade specifications specifically address contaminants of mi-crobiological origin.1.4 All applicable ASTM Standards are expected to refer-ence one or more of these reagent water types where reagentwater is needed as a component of an analytical measurementprocess.Where a different water type or grade is needed for anASTM Standard,it may be added to this Specification throughthe ASTM Standard revision process.1.5 Although these water types and associated grades havebeen defined specifically for use with ASTM Standards,theymay be appropriate for other applications.It is the responsi-bility of the users of this standard to ensure that the selectedwater types or grades are suitable for their intended use.Historically,reagent water Types I,II,III,and IV have beenlinked to specific processes for their production.Starting withthis revision,these types of waters may be produced withalternate technologies as long as the appropriate constituentspecifications are met and that water so produced has beenshown to be appropriate for the application where the use ofsuch water is specified.Therefore,the selection of an alternatetechnology in place of the technology specified in Table 1should be made taking into account the potential impact ofother contaminants such as microorganism and pyrogens.Suchcontaminants were not necessarily considered by the perfor-mance characteristics of the technology previously specified.1.6 Guidance for applications,the preparation,use andmonitoring,storage,handling,distribution,testing of thesespecified waters and validation of the water purification systemis provided in Appendix X1 of this document.1.7The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1125 Test Methods for Electrical Conductivity and Resis-tivity of WaterD1129 Terminology Relating to WaterD1293 Test Methods for pH of WaterD4453 Practice for Handling of High Purity Water SamplesD4517 Test Method for Low-Level Total Silica in High-Purity Water by Flameless Atomic Absorption Spectros-copyD5128 Test Method for On-Line pH Measurement of Waterof Low ConductivityD5173 Test Method for On-Line Monitoring of CarbonCompounds in Water by Chemical Oxidation,by UVLight Oxidation,by Both,or by High Temperature Com-bustion Followed by Gas Phase NDIR or by ElectrolyticConductivityD5245 Practice for Cleaning Laboratory Glassware,Plas-ticware,and Equipment Used in MicrobiologicalAnalysesD5391 Test Method for Electrical Conductivity and Resis-tivity of a Flowing High Purity Water Sample1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D19 on Waterand is the responsibility of Subcommittee D19.02 on Quality Systems,Specifica-tion,and Statistics.Current edition approved May 1,2011.Published June 2011.Originallyapproved in 1951.Last previous edition approved in 2006 as D1193 06.DOI:10.1520/D1193-06R11.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 D5542 Test Methods for Trace Anions in High Purity Waterby Ion ChromatographyD5997 Test Method for On-Line Monitoring of Total Car-bon,Inorganic Carbon in Water by Ultraviolet,PersulfateOxidation,and Membrane Conductivity DetectionD6071 Test Method for Low Level Sodium in High PurityWater by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectros-copyD6161 Terminology Used for Microfiltration,
