3. Definitions
For the purposes of this national standard, the terms and definitions given in the following apply.
3.1 Chemical method of analysis
The analytical procedure of carrying out the chemical treatment on the sample to measure the chemical constitution in the sample
3.2 Physical method of analysis
Analytical procedure that uses the chemical treatment to measure the chemical constitution in the sample, for instance: photoemission spectra methods X fluorescent spectrometry.
