We have defined a single methodology for the identification of chemical products (in particular options). We consider that the main identification parameters are the chemical composition and chemicals structure of products. We have attributed a classification grouping, mark (grade), operating characteristics and appointment of products to the auxiliary parameters.
We have reviewed the main method’s stages of chemical products’ identification. We have also paid attention to tests’ organization conditions, which are necessary to provide confirmation of the results, including the use of accredited laboratories and internationally approved standardized methods. We consider it is important to observe the following conditions in the test results’ processing (measurements, research) for purposes of identification: the lack of ambiguity test results; confirmatory research activity; interpretation and validation of the results conducted by technically qualified personnel.
