GFS Chemicals®, a trusted provider of specialty and fine chemicals, has announced the release of Certified Reference Materials (CRM) within its WATERMARK® Karl Fischer water standards product line. These CRMs meet ISO 17034 accreditation and deliver NIST traceability, supporting top-tier accuracy for moisture analysis in regulated industries.

The new CRM products are tailored for industries with strict compliance standards, including pharmaceuticals, food, and other highly regulated sectors. By offering enhanced uncertainty calculations and the highest level of metrological traceability, these CRMs are ideal for labs requiring defensible and precise data.

Four CRM Concentrations Now Available

GFS Chemicals now manufactures WATERMARK® Karl Fischer CRM Water Standards in the following concentrations:

  • 10.0 mg/g (1.0%), Item #2303CRM
  • 1.0 mg/g (0.1%), Item #2032CRM
  • 0.10 mg/g (0.01%), Item #2301CRM
  • 0.05 mg/g (0.005%), Item #2311CRM

These concentrations are also available as standard reference materials, but the CRM variants are distinguished by their ISO certification and traceability to NIST standards.

Built on Customer-Centric Innovation

Rhonda Hicks, Senior Product Manager at GFS Chemicals, shared the company's commitment to quality: “The development, and now release, of our CRM water standards is rooted in our goal of meeting our customers where they are — providing them with high-quality, reliable products that exceed the ever-changing compliance and regulatory landscape.”

For lab managers navigating evolving regulatory requirements, the WATERMARK® CRM line represents a reliable tool for maintaining testing accuracy and compliance.
