Designation:D119306(Reapproved 2018)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 U.S.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 manual,Form and Style for ASTMStandards.These have been assigned in order of historicalprecedence and should not be taken as an indication of aprogression in water purity.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 specification to ensure that theselected water types or grades are suitable for their intendeduse.Historically,reagent water Types I,II,III,and IV havebeen linked to specific processes for their production.Startingwith this 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 specification.1.7 The 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,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.9 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.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 Guide for On-Line Monitoring of Total OrganicCarbon in Water by Oxidation and Detection of ResultingCarbon Dioxide1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D19 on Waterand is the responsibility of Subcommittee D19.02 on Quality Systems,Specification,and Statistics.Current edition approved March 15,2018.Published March 2018.Originallyapproved in 1951.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as D1193 06(2011).DOI:10.1520/D1193-06R18.2For 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 StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 T
