French term

solutions de reference

French to English Science Medical: Pharmaceuticals Pharmaceutical
In a document about using an in-line refractometer in a manufacturing process:

'Solutions de reference'

Les solvants utilises a la preparation des solutions de reference sont directement preleves au Tank Farm dans des jerricans prevus a cet effect et specifiques a chaque solvant.'

reference solutions

solutions with known concentrations of solutes. Used for calibration or as a reference for correct concentration

standardized solutions

En cohérence avec ma réponse à la question précédente sur "calibration de concentration" que j'ai traduit par "standardization".

reference solutions

it's a not-for-grading one
on the second thought, this context directly indicates the meaning reflected in MTovbin's answer, 'cuz standard[ized] solution is merely any solution with a known concentration, it's more generic; in a particular setting of instrumental measurement such solution will deserve to be called ref.solution, but a set of stand.solutions prepared for calibration are not reference solutions.
Thus, my choice is MTovbin's answer

standard solution

should be this one

agree Yolanda Broad : This is what I found, too, over and over again, when researching the previous question on calibration & concentration

neutral Didier Fourcot : A "standard" solution has a known concentration, a "reference" solution is used to calibrate your instrument, you may not know precisely its concentration, if you always use the same solution, this may be irrelevant or useless (quality control, etc)
