1.1It is the purpose of this practice to provide kinetic parameters for reference materials used for evaluation of thermal analysis methods, apparatus, and software where enthalpy and temperature are measured. This practice addresses both exothermic and endothermic, nth order, and autocatalytic reactions.

1.2The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.3There is no International Organization for Standardization (ISO) equivalent to this standard.

1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
