Method Performance
Precision
In a single laboratory, using a chlorine standard solution of
5.05 mg/L Cl
2
and representative lots of reagent, a single
operator obtained a standard deviation of ± 0.05 mg/L Cl
2
.
Estimated Detection Limit
The estimated detection limit for Method 10069 is 0.1 mg/L Cl
2
.
For more information on the estimated detection limit, see
Section 1
of the DR/800 Procedure Manual.

1. Adjust sample pH to 6–7.
2. Add 2 drops Potassium Iodide (30 g/L) to a 5-mL sample.
3. Mix and wait 1 minute.
4. Add 2 drops of Sodium Arsenite (5 g/L) and mix.
5. Analyze the treated sample as described in the procedure.
6. Subtract the result from this test from the original analysis to obtain the
correct chlorine concentration.
