Transport Information Declaration (railroad and road) ADR, RID UN 1824 , 8, II Declaration (transport by air) IATA-DGR UN 1824 , 8, II Declaration (transport by sea) IMDG-Code UN 1824 , 8, II, Segregation Group: 18 (Alkalis) Specifications Concentration after dilution to 1 liter: c(NaOH) = 0.1 mol/l Amount-of-substance concentration 0.1000 mol/l The concentration of this solution was determined with hydrochloric acid standard solution (article number 1.09060) standardized against volumetric standard Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (article number 1.02408). The determined titer at 20°C was 1.000 with an expanded measurement uncertainty of ± 0.004 (k=2 coverage factor for 95% coverage probability). The certified value is traceable to primary standard NIST SRM 723e (NIST: National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA) by means of volumetric standard Tris(hydroxmethyl)aminomethane, measured in the accredited calibration laboratory of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany in accordance to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
