Dutch term or phrase: gec.
"Voeg bij iedere kroes met behulp van een dispenset ongeveer 1 ml gec. zwavelzuur bij."

This is a text on a procedure for the determination of an evaporation residue.

I thought that "gec." might mean "gecalibreerd" = calibrated. But calibrated sulphuric acid ???

Who can down the one to this abbreviation means in this context?

TIA
