OECD TG 122: Determination of pH, Acidity, and Alkalinity
Precision measurement of aqueous acidity and alkalinity to ensure product safety and regulatory compliance.
The pH and acid-base characteristics of a chemical substance are fundamental indicators of its reactivity, corrosive potential, and environmental behavior. At Weshin Inspection Tech , we provide specialized testing in strict accordance with OECD Test Guideline 122 (TG 122), delivering accurate data on the acidity and alkalinity profiles of your substances.
The Importance of pH, Acidity, and Alkalinity Data
These parameters are essential components of chemical risk assessment and hazard communication:
-
Hazard Classification: Extreme pH values are critical triggers for classifying substances as corrosive to skin or eyes under GHS.
-
Environmental Impact Analysis: Assessing the potential of a substance to alter the pH of aquatic environments, which is vital for ecological safety.
-
Stability & Compatibility: Predicting how a substance will interact with packaging materials, storage vessels, and other chemical formulations.
-
Regulatory Submissions: Fulfilling mandatory physico-chemical data requirements for REACH, agrochemicals, and industrial chemical inventories.
Our Testing Services
Weshin Inspection Tech utilizes standardized analytical techniques as outlined in TG 122:
-
pH Measurement: High-precision determination of the pH of neat liquids or 1% aqueous dilutions/suspensions using temperature-compensated pH meters.
-
Acidity/Alkalinity Titration: Detailed quantification of the acid or base reserve of a substance through standardized titration methods, reported in milliequivalents per liter or gram.
