Production and use of BCR reference materials for quality assurance in environmental analysis: an update
J AOAC Int.
2001 Nov-Dec.
Abstract
Reference materials represent an invaluable tool for analytical quality control. Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) are used for the validation of methods, whereas various types of (uncertified) Reference Materials (RMs) are used for routine quality control (establishment of control charts) and interlaboratory testing (e.g., proficiency testing). This paper provides background information on the production and use of environmental RMs and describes recent CRMs produced by the BCR (European Commission) for quality assurance in environmental analysis.
