Abstract

This paper describes the history and scheme of reference materials and standard solutions for titrimetry in Japan. Titrimetry is one of the most fundamental and precise methods for determination of a constituent, based on the effective purity of reference materials in stoichiometric analysis. It has wide-ranging applications based on titrimetric reactions such as neutralization, redox, chelatometric, and precipitation titration processes, which are used in various analytical fields all over the world. Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) have played an important role in establishing a stable supply of reference materials for titrimetry since the 1950s. There are several reports of preparations and their determination, including coulometric studies, in order to establish highly reliable reference materials. This paper briefly reviews the schemes and studies of standardization through the provision of reference materials and standard solutions based on JIS, and several applications in other standards.
