ACS
I am curious to know what " ACS grade" means and stands for when it is applied to a chemical.

To make $0meb0dy's reply more precise, "ACS grade" is the mark given to reagents that conform to the standards of the ACS for
analytical purposes.
And no, the title is not limited to inorganics alone. As long as the chemical has a use in analytical chemistry, it will be designated as "ACS
grade" if worthy.

P.S. Any reagent carrying the title "ACS grade" is likely to be more expensive.
