(b) ASTM D2036-06, "Standard Test Methods for Cyanides in Water," Method C, followed by Part 16.2 (titrimetric), Part 16.3 (colorimetric) or Part 16.4 (ion-specific electrode). A copy of ASTM D2036-06 is available at the IHS Store at the Internet address https://global.ihs.com, for the price of $96.

(c) ASTM D2036-09, "Standard Test Methods for Cyanides in Water," Method C, followed by Part 16.2 (titrimetric), Part 16.3 (colorimetric) or Part 16.4 (ion-specific electrode).

A copy of these standards is available from Standard Methods at the Internet address https://standardmethods.org, for the price of $75.

(e) Another version or method approved by the Department and scientifically demonstrated to achieve performance in determining weak acid dissociable cyanide which is equivalent to one of the methods described in paragraphs (a) to (d), inclusive.
