SECTION 4 SORBENT CAPACITY TESTING
4.1 Scope of Section
This section specifies the test method used in order to accurately determine the sorbent capacity of the spill response kit.
4.2 Determining maximum sorbent capacity
In order to determine the combined maximum sorbent capacity of the sorbent materials assembled in a spill response kit, each sorbent component shall be tested individually by an AusSpill approved laboratory against British Standard test method BS7959-1, “Materials used for the control of liquid spillages, Part 1: Determination of sorbency.”
Original sorbency test results issued by the AusSpill approved laboratory shall be made available to the AusSpill secretary for verification in the event that spill kit sorbency claims are contested by an AusSpill member.
