1.1 本试验方法涵盖了评定石油蜡气味强度的程序。 1.2 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.3 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 在石油蜡的某些用途中，如食品包装中，蜡的气味强度是一个重要特性。例如，石油蜡规范中经常出现一些关于蜡气味限制的描述。 本文给出的方法为实验室之间使用数字尺度而非描述性术语就蜡的气味强度达成一致提供了基础。虽然该方法主要用于评定气味强度，但结果可能会受到气味类型的影响。

1.1 This test method covers a procedure for rating the odor intensity of waxes derived from petroleum. 1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 In some uses of petroleum wax, such as food packaging, odor intensity of the wax is an important property. For example, some description of limits on wax odor often appears in specifications for petroleum wax. The method given here provides a basis for agreement between laboratories on the odor intensity of wax using a numerical scale rather than descriptive terms. While the method is primarily intended for rating odor intensity, results can be influenced by odor type.
