IS 5295:2021 covers the specifications for Ethylene Glycol, which includes requirements for sampling and testing methods. Ethylene Glycol, also known as 1,2-ethanediol or monoethylene glycol, is commonly used in applications such as antifreeze formulations, explosives, organic intermediates, and polyester fibers and filaments.

This standard outlines two grades of the material:

• General Grade

• Fibre Grade

The material should be colorless, free from suspended solids, and completely miscible with water at any ratio at 20°C. It must meet the standards when tested according to the specified methods. Additionally, Ethylene Glycol should be protected from atmospheric humidity as it absorbs twice its weight in water vapor.
