  1. (1)

    point 4.2.1 is replaced by the following:

    ‘4.2.1.

    Petroleum ether 40-60 °C chromatographic grade or hexane. Hexane may be replaced by iso-octane (2,2,4-trimethyl pentane in chromatography grade), provided that comparable precision values are achieved. Solvents with higher boiling point than n-hexane take longer to evaporate. However, they are preferred due to the toxicity of hexane.’;

    ‘4.2.12.
