1.2 These practices are applicable to waste liquids, sludges,semi-solids, and solids.
1.3 These practices are designed and intended as a prelimi-nary or supplementary test to complement the more sophisti-cated quantitative analytical techniques that should be used to determine waste composition and compatibilities. This stan-dard offers the user the option and the ability to screen wastes for potentially hazardous reactions when the more sophisti-cated techniques are not available and the total waste compo-sition is unknown, and to screen compatibility when the composition is known. (Warning—Delayed or slow reactions of wastes may go unnoticed.)
