      2.3 Determination of the cyanogen chloride

Specifies cyanides that may be present in the water by virtue of the introduction of trade wastes in dissolved and/or undissolved form. They may be present in the form of cyanide of hydrogen, of cyanide ions, of complex-bonded cyanides, of organic compounds containing cyanogen groups, and in the form of cyanogen chloride.
