Test Standards requirements for Salt

This summary is for general guidance only. Though believed to be accurate at the time of writing, this may change over time. So this information should not be used as a substitute for referring to a complete test standard, at an appropriate revision level.

  Notes:
  • = Not Specified
  ppm = parts per million, this is the same as mg/kg
  % is parts per 100
  * 0.3 ppm = 0.00003%
