Identification

A:Infrared Absorption: The IR absorption spectrum of the preparation of the test specimen, exhibits maxima only at the same wavelengths as that of a similar preparation of the corresponding working standard.

Conforms

B:The retention time of the major peak of the Sample solution corresponds to that of the Standard solution, as obtained in the Assay.
