Now the organization offer its third round robin test for pharmaceutical glycerol, which is an important byproduct of biodiesel production. Glycerol has a lot of possible applications in the industry. In the past, it was primarily used in the fields of cosmetics and technology. Nowadays it is used more and more as high-quality pharmaceutical glycerol (purity greater than 99.5 percent), which is gained by refining raw glycerol.
