VOLAC Volumetric Glassware according to USP (United States Pharmacopoeia)

When manufacturing pharmaceutical products or intermediates which may either be exported into US markets or which are made by companies being audited by US authorities, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it is a written requirement of the FDA that volumetric glass used in laboratories for control purposes must conform to the standards laid down within the US Pharmacopoeia.

The standards of accuracy for volumetric glass laid down by the US Pharmacopoeia are not always the same as those laid down by ISO. DIN standards are never the same as USP.  Each individual piece of USP Class A glass is individually tested and carries its own individual number. Not only does this offer full traceability, but it also permits all laboratory work to be done with identifiable and identified equipment.  Accuracy to USP Class A standards is guaranteed. A calibration certificate is not normally supplied. Individual works certification can be provided at extra cost.
