PROCEDURE   //  PIPETTE A 5 ML PORTION OF THE SAMPLE SOLUTION OBTAINED AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 5.1 INTO A CONICAL FLASK .   //  ADJUST THE PH OF THE SOLUTION TO A VALUE OF 3 OR LOWER WITH HYDROCHLORIC ACID ( 3.1 ); UNIVERSAL INDICATOR PAPER ( 3.7 ).   //  ADD THREE DROPS OF SODIUM SULPHITE SOLUTION ( 3.2 ) AND MIX .  //  INJECT A 10 *L PORTION OF THE SOLUTION INTO THE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPH ( 4.2 ).   //  COMPARE THIS CHROMATOGRAM WITH THE CHROMATOGRAM OBTAINED AS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH 5 FOR THE SAME SAMPLE . THE SAME SAMPLE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 0,07 % M/M .  ( 1 ) ISO 5725 .
