How to test purity of Dicyandiamide sample?
Using simple chemistry.

"Titrations in Nonaqueous Solvents" (Hubber) (http://bit.ly/2kV29LZ )suggests that dicyanodiamide can be potentiometrically titrated against tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in pyridine.

I'm not sure how useful this will be to you (probably doesn't count as simple chemistry), but it's a start. See p163 of the the above link.
