GFS Chemicals, a prominent leader in specialty and fine chemicals, announced the launch of its new WATERMARK® Karl Fischer Certified Reference Materials (CRM) Water Standards on December 30, 2025. This significant development follows the company's recent ISO 17034 accreditation, enabling GFS Chemicals to manufacture NIST traceable CRM Karl Fischer Water Standards. The new product line offers four precise concentrations: 10.0 mg/g (1.0%), 1.0 mg/g (0.1%), 0.10 mg/g (0.01%), and 0.05 mg/g (0.005%), identified by unique item numbers such as #2303CRM and #2301CRM.These CRMs are designed to empower laboratories to achieve the highest accuracy standards and ensure compliance with stringent national and international testing requirements. They are particularly beneficial for highly regulated sectors, including pharmaceutical, food, and other industries where precise water content analysis is critical. Unlike standard reference materials, the WATERMARK Karl Fischer CRM water standards provide an enhanced uncertainty calculation and offer the utmost level of accuracy and metrological traceability, essential for generating defensible data. Rhonda Hicks, Senior Product Manager, emphasized that this release stems from GFS Chemicals’ commitment to providing high-quality, reliable products that help customers navigate the evolving compliance and regulatory landscape.
