1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers calcium chloride, technical grade, typically used for, but not limited to, dust control, stabilization, ice/snow removal, other road-conditioning purposes, acceleration ofthe set ofconcrete, and as a desiccant. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. 1.3 For purposes of determining conformance to this specification, values for chemical analysis shall be rounded to the nearest 0.1 %, and values for grading shall be rounded to the nearest 1 %, in accordance with the rounding method in Practice E29. 1.4 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes, which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accor- dance with internationally recognized principles on standard- ization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recom- mendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
6. Physical Requirements
6.1 The grading of solid form calcium chloride shall con- form to the requirements of Table 1 for the grade and class specified in the order.
7. Sampling, Examination, and Testing
7.1 Sampling, examining, and testing of calcium chloride shall be done in accordance with Test Methods D345 and E449. When specified in the contract or purchase order, sampling for examination shall be performed in accordance with MIL-STD- 105 at an acceptable quality level specified by the purchaser. 7.2 When the purchaser elects to sample the material (solid or liquid) after delivery, a tolerance of1 % below the minimum CaCl 2 requirement shall apply, provided that the material has been analyzed correctly and transported per the requirements stated in 10.1.
8. Inspection
8.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the supplier shall be responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. 8.2 Except as otherwise specified, the supplier shall use his own facilities or any commercial laboratory acceptable to the purchaser for analysis of material.

10. Packaging, Package Marking, and Shipping
10.1 Calcium chloride in either solid or liquid form shall be packaged and transported in a manner that protects the product from moisture and other sources of contamination. 10.2 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the name of the manufacturer, name of the product, net weight, and percentage of calcium chloride guaranteed by the manufacturer shall be legibly marked on each container for package shipments, or on the invoice or shipping papers accompanying bulk shipments. 10.3 When specified in the contract or purchase order as for Federal Government procurement, calcium chloride shall be prepared for shipment in accordance with the provisions specified in 10.4 – 10.6.2. 10.4 Packaging—Packaging for Federal Government pro- curement shall be Level A or C as specified (see 4.1.5). 10.4.1 Level A: 10.4.1.1 Unit Packaging—Calcium chloride in solid form shall be packaged in 0.45 or 2.25-kg (1 or 5-lb) quantities, as specified (see 10.4), in glass bottles conforming to Group A, Class 1, Style 2, Closure A of PPP-C-186. 10.4.1.2 Intermediate Packaging—Calcium chloride unit, packaged in accordance with 10.4.1.1, shall be intermediately packaged in accordance with the Level A requirements of PPP-C-186. 10.4.2 Level C—Calcium chloride shall be packaged in the quantities specified (see 4.1.5), in accordance with supplier’s standard practice. 10.5 Packaging—Packing for Federal Government procure- ment shall be Level A, B, or C as specified (see 4.1.5). 10.5.1 Level A: 10.5.1.1 For 0.45 or 2.25-kg (1 and 5-lb) Quantities— Calcium chloride, packaged in accordance with 10.4.1.1, shall be packed in accordance with the Level A requirement of PPP-C-186.
