Product Description and Specifications

S.No.	Tests	Specifications
1	Description	White crystals, commonly tabular or needle-like or white, crystalline powder. Is odorless or has a faint odor. Is stable in the dry air: in moist, air it gradually hydrolyzes to salicylic and acetic acids.
2	Solubility	Freely soluble in alcohol; soluble in chloroform and in ether; sparingly soluble in absolute ether. Slightly soluble in water.
3	Identification
	A. Colour test	Colour change to violet red by the addition of ferric chloride TS to a heated and cooled sample with water.
	B. IR absorption	The IR absorption spectrum of the sample exhibits maxima only at the same wavelengths as that of a similar preparation of Aspirin WRS.
4	Loss on drying (% w/w)	Not more than 0.5
5	Readily carbonizable substances	The solution of 500 mg sample dissolved in 5 mL of H₂SO₄ has no more color than Matching fluid Q.
6	Residue on ignition (% w/w)	Not more than 0.05
7	Substances insoluble in Sodium carbonate TS	A solution of 500 mg sample in 10 mL of warm sodium carbonate TS is clear.
8	Chloride (% w/w)	Not more than 0.014
9	Sulfate (% w/w)	Not more than 0.04
10	Heavy metals (mg per g)	Not more than 10
11	Limit of free salicylic acid (% w/w)	Not more than 0.10
12	Assay (% w/w, On dried basis)	Not less than 99.5 and Not more than 100.5.
