En anglais, l'abréviation courante pour désigner les alcools spécialement dénaturés est «SDAG», pour «specially denatured alcohol, grade XYZ», et, en français, «ASDQ» pour «alcool spécialement dénaturé, qualité XYZ ...». À chaque catégorie américaine correspond une codification canadienne, déterminée par Douanes et Accise. Par exemple, le SDA de formule 40 correspond, chez nous, au ASD de qualité 1-B. Chacune des formules (SDA 40, 40A, etc.) constitue donc, pour ainsi dire, une appellation propre. Renseignements obtenus auprès d'un représentant de la compagnie «Les alcools de commerce Ltée» de Montréal. 2, record 1, French, - alcool%20sp%C3%A9cialement%20d%C3%A9natur%C3%A9
