This part of ISO 8655 specifies the reference method for conformity testing of piston-operated volumetric apparatus, whereby errors of measurement are determined gravimetrically. The tests are applicable to complete systems comprising the basic apparatus and all parts selected for use with the apparatus, disposable or reusable, involved in the measurement by uptake (In) or delivery (Ex) process. NOTE General requirements and definitions of terms of piston-operated volumetric apparatus are given in ISO 8655-1. For the metrological requirements, maximum permissible errors, requirements for marking and information to be provided for users for piston-operated volumetric apparatus, see ISO 8655-2 for piston pipettes, see ISO 8655-3 for piston burettes, see ISO 8655-4 for dilutors and see ISO 8655-5 for dispensers. Alternative test methods such as photometric and titrimetric methods will be the subject of a future Part 7 to ISO 8655.
