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.

Application

Water standard 1% can be used for:

• Evaluating the accuracy of coulometric Karl Fischer titrators according to ISO 9001 chapter 7.1.5 “Monitoring and measuring resources” as a Certified reference material (CRM)
• Checking the accuracy of measured results according to European Pharmacopeia (Ph.Eur.) chapter 2.5.32 “Water Micro Determination”
• Standardizing titrants according to European Pharmacopeia (Ph.Eur.) chapter 2.5.12 “Water Semi-Micro Determination” and the United States Pharmacopeia <921> “Water Determination”
• Titer determinations using volumetric method with one component and two component reagents
