UNSPSC 41141508: Chloride standards

In this classification, this entry connotes a standardized formulation of Chloride used to conduct Anion tests.

UNSPSC 41141508 Chloride standards, a Commodity code, encompasses certified reference materials and reagent kits used in forensic drug analysis, toxicology testing, and substance identification by state and local law enforcement and public health laboratories. State and local governments procure these materials to validate analytical instrumentation, conduct method verification, and analyze evidentiary samples in forensic operations. The code sees activity from state health and criminal justice departments, county forensic laboratories, and state departments of public safety, with issuers ranging from single-jurisdiction procurement offices to multi-agency pass-through arrangements. Recent solicitations target both broad-spectrum immunoassay reagent kits (Direct ELISA testing for cannabinoids, opiates, cocaine, benzodiazepines, and other controlled substances) and specialized reference-grade drug standards meeting ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 17034:2016 accreditation requirements, with purity thresholds exceeding 97% and expanded uncertainty not exceeding 7% for diluted materials.
