GOST 10929-76 PDF

Full title and description

ГОСТ 10929-76 — "Реактивы. Водорода пероксид. Технические условия" (English: Reagents. Hydrogen peroxide. Specifications). The standard establishes technical requirements, grades and quality criteria, labeling, packaging and test methods for hydrogen peroxide supplied as a chemical reagent (pergydrol) for industrial, laboratory, household and export uses.

Abstract

This GOST specifies the properties and quality limits for hydrogen peroxide intended as a reagent: composition (mass fraction of H2O2), permissible impurities (non‑volatile residue, free acid, nitrogen, sulfates), grades (including chemically pure / analytical grades), optional stabilization, packaging and marking, and basic acceptance and test methods. It was approved by the USSR State Committee for Standards and has had amendments incorporated since initial publication.

General information

• Status: Active / in force (standard retained and used; limitations on term of validity were later lifted and amendments exist).
• Publication date: Introduced into force 01 January 1977 (approved 30 January 1976); later reissues/editions and amendments dated 1988–1990 and post‑1990 updates noted in databases.
• Publisher: Approved by the State Committee for Standards of the Council of Ministers of the USSR (Gosstandart); printed/published in GOST collections (Izdatelstvo standartov) and maintained in national standards databases.
• ICS / categories: Chemical reagents / analytical chemistry classification; OKP / subject group codes referenced in the document (for example OKP 26 1131. . and group L51 in archival metadata).
• Edition / version: Original designation ГОСТ 10929-76 with Amendments No.1 and No.2 integrated in later texts; republications noted circa 1989–1990 in national databases.
• Number of pages: 12 pages (typical published text length in catalog entries).

Scope

Applies to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced and supplied as a reagent (pergydrol): a colorless, transparent liquid prone to decomposition with oxygen evolution. The standard covers reagent grades intended for national economic needs and for export, specifying required chemical composition, impurity limits, optional stabilization, packaging, marking and test/acceptance procedures.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of product and intended uses (reagent/pergydrol) and general production/quality rules.
• Grades and nominal mass fraction of H2O2 for specified grades (examples in the standard’s tables).
• Limits for impurities and parameters such as non‑volatile residue, free acid (as H2SO4), total nitrogen (from nitrates/nitrites/ammonia), sulfates, etc., with numeric limits given by grade.
• Provisions for stabilization (marking “Stabilized” when applicable) and rules on when certain impurity determinations may be omitted for stabilized products.
• Requirements for packaging, labeling and marking (including indication of grade, stability, net mass and manufacturer information) and storage/transport considerations to limit decomposition.
• Acceptance testing and analytical methods or references to test procedures for verifying compliance with chemical and physical requirements.

Typical use and users

Primary users include chemical reagent manufacturers, quality control and analytical laboratories, industrial users that employ hydrogen peroxide in chemical processes, water and wastewater treatment facilities, distributors and exporters of chemical reagents, and regulatory/standards organizations that reference GOST requirements for procurement and testing. Laboratory procurement and reagent catalogues commonly cite this GOST when offering H2O2 as a certified reagent.

Related standards

Predecessor: ГОСТ 10929-64 (replaced by 10929-76). Conformance notes: the standard is identified as (СТ СЭВ 5768-86) in intergovernmental alignment and is stated to correspond in part to ISO 6353/2-83 for the "chemically pure" classification. The GOST text also references other national GOSTs for methods and related requirements (examples of referenced GOSTs appear in the normative references list).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ГОСТ 10929-76 is a Soviet/Russian national standard that sets technical specifications and acceptance requirements for hydrogen peroxide supplied as a reagent (pergydrol).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers product definition, grades, numerical limits for H2O2 content and impurities (non‑volatile residue, free acid, nitrogen, sulfates, etc.), stabilization rules, packaging/labeling, storage and test/acceptance procedures for reagent hydrogen peroxide. Numeric limits and test details are provided in the standard’s tables and clauses.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of hydrogen peroxide and chemical reagents, laboratories (analytical and QC), industrial end users, suppliers and exporters of reagents, procurement officers and standards bodies referencing reagent quality requirements.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Databases and catalogs list ГОСТ 10929-76 as an active (retained) standard with later amendments incorporated; the original validity term listed in the archival record was extended/adjusted, and national repositories show updated entries and republications (late 1980s–1990). Users should check the latest national standards database or authorized publisher for any more recent replacements or newer editions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the GOST series of chemical reagent specifications and replaced an earlier edition (ГОСТ 10929-64); it also references and aligns with intergovernmental (СЭВ) documents and certain ISO provisions for reagent quality classifications.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Hydrogen peroxide; reagent; perhydrol; technical conditions; chemically pure; purity limits; stabilization; packaging; GOST.
