Used in environmental and industrial laboratories for calibration of analytical instruments to ensure accurate measurement of phenol levels in water, wastewater, and soil samples. Commonly applied in quality control processes within pharmaceutical, chemical, and petrochemical industries to monitor contamination and maintain compliance with safety regulations. Also utilized in research settings for developing and validating analytical methods such as HPLC, GC-MS, and spectrophotometry. Ensures traceability and reliability in testing for phenolic compounds, which are toxic and regulated due to their environmental and health impacts.
