ISO 10624 pdf download.Oil of elemi ( Canarium luzonicum Miq.)
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies certain charac- teristics of the oil of elemi ( Canarium luzonicum Miq.), in order to facilitate assessment of its quality. It is not applicable to rectified oils.

3 Definition
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definition applies. 3.1 oil of elemi: Essential oil obtained by distil- lation under reduced pressure or by steam distillation of the gum oleoresin of Canarium luzonicum Miq. of the Burseraceae family.
4 Requirements
4.1 Appearance Liquid. 4.2 Colour Colourless to pale yellow. 4.3 Odour Characteristic, spicy balsamic with a citrus peel top note.
4.6 Optical rotation at 20 °C Range from +44° to +85°. 4.7 Chromatographic profile Analysis of the essential oil shall be carried out by gas chromatography. In the chromatogram obtained, the representative and characteristic components shown in table 1 shall be identified. The proportions of these components, indicated by the integrator, shall be as shown in table 1 . This constitutes the chromatographic profile of the essential oil. 4.8 Flashpoint Information on the flashpoint is given in annex B.
5 Sampling
See ISO 21 2. Minimum volume of test sample: 25 ml. NOTE — This volume allows each of the tests specified in this International Standard to be carried out at least once.
For reasons of safety, transport companies, insurance companies, people in charge of safety services, etc. require information about the flashpoint of essential oils, which in most cases are inflammable products. A comparative study on the relevant methods of analysis (see ISO/TR 1 1 01 8 4) ) led to the under- standing that it was hard to find a single method for standardization purposes, given that — essential oils are varied and their chemical compositions differ to a large extent; — the volume of the sample needed for certain test equipment is incompatible with the high price of essential oils; — there are different types of equipment that satisfy the desired objective, but users cannot be obliged to use one type of equipment rather than another. Consequently, it was decided to give a mean value for the flashpoint in an informative annex in each International Standard, in order to meet the request of the interested parties. If possible, the method by which this value was obtained should be specified. For further information see ISO/TR 1 1 01 8 ) .
