Certified Reference Materials (CRMs), RM, SUS & Consumables

RM (Reference Material)

Feature:

• RM is a generic term.
• Properties can be quantitative or qualitative, e.g. identity of substances or species.
• Uses may include the calibration of a measurement system, assessment of a measurement procedure, assigning values to other materials, and quality control.
• A single RM cannot be used for both calibration and validation of results in the same measurement procedure.
• International Vocabulary of Metrology – Basic and General Concepts and Associated Terms has an analogous definition (VIM - ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 5.13), but restricts the term ''measurement'' to apply to quantitative values and not to qualitative properties. However, Note 3 of ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 5.13, specifically includes the concept of qualitative attributes, called ''nominal properties''.

CERTIFIED REFERENCE MATERIAL (CRM)

Reference material characterized by a metrologically valid procedure for one or more specified properties, accompanied by a certificate that provides the value of the specified property, its associated uncertainty, and a statement of metrological traceability

• The concept of value includes qualitative attributes such as identity or sequence. Uncertainties for such attributes may be expressed as probabilities.
• Metrologically valid procedures for the production and certification of reference materials are given in, among others, ISO Guides 34 and 35.
• ISO Guide 31 gives guidance on the contents of certificates.
• VIM has an analogous definition (ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 5.14).

(ISO Guide 30:1992/Amd 1:2008)

SETTING-UP SAMPLES (SUS)

Setting-up Samples (SUS) have an uncertified analysis and to be used as a guide. They are used to meet the day-to-day setting-up requirements or shift-to-shift adjustment of spectrometers or instrument for production control analysis. This process is usually called ''drift correction'', ''standardization of the calibration'', or ''re-standardization'' depending on manufacturers. The quality of SUS samples is to be homogeneous.
