NOTE A guideline on signif icant contents of combined water an o idiza le compou ds is incorporated in
ISO 77 64
7.2 Preparation of predried test samples
Thoroughly mix the la orat ory sample an , taking multiple inc ement , extract a t es sample in
such a manne that it is r pr sentative of the entir cont ent of the containe Dry the t es sample at
1 5 °C ± 2°C as spe ified in ISO 7764 This isthe pr dried t es sample

NOTE T e e pres ion “in epen ently” me ns that the secon an an subseq ent result is not afected
by the previous result s) F or this particular analytical method, this con ition implies that the repetition of the
