1 This standard was first published in 1967. The original standard covered only one grade of ammonium nitrate. In the first revision, four grades of ammonium nitrate depending upon the use, were specified namely, for ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO), slurry explosives, nitroglycerine-based explosives and defence.
2 In this revision, instrumental test methods for the determination of iron, lead, copper, zinc, manganese, chloride and sulphate have been added as alternate test methods.
