Description

General description

Water standard 1% is prepared using high-purity water and reagents by the gravimetric method. Its characterization is carried out at an accredited quality control (QC) laboratory according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. The water content of the standard is measured by direct coulometric Karl Fischer titration, in accordance with ISO 760.

Please visit ISO certificates and Site Quality Self-Assessments to access the current certificates of accreditation.
