Does USP issue certificates of analysis for USP Reference Standards?
USP provides Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) for all Reference Standards and USP Certificates for some Reference Standards. These certificates do not completely describe the test results obtained during evaluation for scientific and legal reasons. Rather, the certificates are issued to provide customers with a hardcopy of the USP label text of the standard. These certificates, when available, can be viewed on our Web site by clicking on the Product Description link for an item in our online catalog.
