1.1This test method covers the determination of the activation level of activated carbon. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) activity is defined herein as the ratio (in percent) of the weight of CCl₄ adsorbed by an activated carbon sample to the weight of the sample, when the carbon is saturated with CCl₄ under conditions listed in this test method.

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

1.3This 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific hazards statements are given in Section 7.

1.4This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
