1.1 This standard provides procedures for validating enthalpic measurements of differential scanning calorimeters (DSC) and analytical methods based upon the measurement of enthalpy or heat by DSC. Performance parameters determined include calorimetric repeatability (precision), detection limit, quantitation limit, linearity and bias. This method is applicable to both exothermic and endothermic events.1.2 Validation of apparatus performance and analytical methods is requested or requir
