GB/T 13173-2008 in English

《GB/T 13173-2008表面活性剂 洗涤剂试验方法》由TC272（全国表面活性剂和洗涤用品标准化技术委员会）归口，主管部门为中国轻工业联合会。
本标准规定了表面活性剂和洗涤剂的分样、颗粒度、总五氧化二磷、总活性物、非离子表面活性剂、各种不同形式的磷酸盐、甲苯磺酸盐、发泡力、螯合剂（ＥＤＴＡ）、表观密度、白度、水分及挥发物、４Ａ 沸石含量、活性氧、碱性蛋白酶活力、有效氯等１６项指标的测试方法。
本标准适用于表面活性剂和洗涤剂产品的指标测定。使用本标准规定的方法测定样品时，应结合具体样品的特性选择合适的方法。

1 Scope

This standard specifies the test methods for 16 indexes of surface active agent and detergent, i.e. reduced sample, granularity, total phosphorus pentoxide, total active matters, nonionic surface active agents, various forms of phosphate, tosylate, foaming power, chelating agent (EDTA), apparent density, whiteness, moisture and volatile matter, 4A zeolite content, active oxygen, alkali protease activity, and active chlorine.
This standard is applicable to the determination of indexes for surface active agent and detergent. For determining sample using the method specified in this standard, it shall select method as appropriate to the sample.
