 INTRODUCTION

The Certified Reference Materials have been prepared under rigorous laboratory conditions and are issued by Bureau of Analysed Samples Ltd. under the auspices of an Honorary Advisory Committee and a body of
approximately 150 Co-operating Analysts representing Independent Laboratories and Manufacturers and Users of the materials concerned.

(a) CERTIFIED REFERENCE MATERIALS (CRMs)

British Chemical Standard Certified Reference Materials (BCS-CRMs) are normally analysed by at least five Analysts, and a certificate showing the individual mean values obtained by each Analyst and
a summary of the methods used is supplied with each sample. Certificates issued since 1984 also give the standard deviation of the intralaboratory means, and those issued since 1994 express the level of
confidence of the certified value as the 95% half width confidence interval.

EURONORM Certified Reference Materials (ECRMs) are prepared under the auspices of the European Committee for Iron and Steel Standardization (ECISS) and are issued with a certificate giving the
names of the participating laboratories, the mean values obtained by each laboratory for each element and a statistical evaluation of the laboratory means. The certificate also includes a summary of the methods of
analysis used. Before publication each certificate has been approved by the Producing Organisations, namely Bureau of Analysed Samples Ltd. (BAS) in the UK, Institut de Recherches de la Siderurgie Française
(IRSID) / Centre Technique des Industries de la Fonderie (CTIF) in France, Stahlinstitut VDEh (VDEh), BAM Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und prüfung and Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (MPI) in
Germany and the Nordic CRM Working Group (NCRMWG) in the Nordic countries. Although BAS is no longer part of the ECRM Producers Group , there are still over 50 BAS ECRMs which will be available until their
exhaustion, when they will be replaced by BCS-CRMs and/or SS-CRMs
There are also some existing BCS-CRMs which have been accepted as interim ECRMs after examination by laboratories in the EU. These are indicated with an ECRM number alongside the existing BCS-CRM
number.
Bureau of Analysed Samples Ltd. act as UK distributors for ECRMs prepared by IRSID/CTIF in France, BAM in Germany and Jernkontoret in Sweden, and details of these samples, most of which are held in UK
stock, are given in a separate BAS ‘Outside Source’ Reference Materials Catalogue, copies of which will be supplied on request. Further information regarding the preparation, certification and supply of ECRMs, and
the use of the statistical information given on their certificates is given in Technical Reports CEN/TR 10317:2014 (formerly ECISS Information Circular No. 1) and CEN/TR 10350:2013 (formerly ECISS
Information Circular No. 5) which are available in the UK from the BSI, 389 Chiswick High Road, London W4 4AL.
All BCS-CRM and ECRM samples are supplied in the finely divided form and many of them are also available in disc form for optical emission and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry.

Spectroscopic Standard Certified Reference Materials (SS-CRMs) have been specially prepared to provide samples of uniform composition in a form suitable for use with optical emission and X-ray
fluorescence spectrometers. Each sample has been analysed by at least five laboratories, and a certificate showing the individual mean values obtained by each laboratory and a summary of the methods used is
supplied with each sample or set of samples.
Steel samples are usually in the form of discs cut from round bar. Cast iron samples, which are prepared in conjunction with Replicast Ltd./Castings Technology International (formerly BCIRA), are in the form
of chill cast rectangular blocks.
(b) REFERENCE MATERIALS (RMs)
British Chemical Standard Reference Materials (BCS-RMs) and Spectroscopic Reference Materials, e.g. high purity metals and ceramic materials (p.16), low alloy cast irons, high chromium irons, nickel chromium
irons and austenitic (Ni-resist) irons (p. 22) and copper base alloys (p. 23) are normally analysed by only two laboratories and are not given certified status.

(c) SPECTROSCOPIC SETTING-UP SAMPLES (SUS)

These Setting-up Samples (SUS) have been specially prepared to meet the day to day setting-up requirements of laboratories using direct reading spectrometers for production control analysis. Their use will
conserve supplies of Spectroscopic Standard CRMs for calibration purposes only and will relieve spectrographers of the problem of finding suitable samples within their works for their daily setting-up requirements.
The steel samples are in the form of round bar. The cast iron samples, prepared in conjunction with Replicast Ltd./Castings Technology International (formerly BCIRA), are in the form of chill cast rectangular
blocks.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Our website, at www.basrid.co.uk, has recently been improved and now includes a database of our more popular CRMs which is simultaneously searchable for up to six constituents. A large and
ever growing selection of downloadable certificates for BAS products can also be found on the website.
Every endeavour is made to maintain a continuous supply of all samples in this catalogue by completing the preparation of an appropriate replacement by the time each sample becomes exhausted. When orders are
received for obsolete samples the relevant replacements will normally be supplied. If for any reason such a sample is not acceptable, full credit will be allowed if it is returned carriage paid provided that the seal on the
carton containing finely divided samples is unbroken.
Information regarding new samples in course of preparation will be supplied on request. When these are available for distribution a notice to this effect will be made on our website.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
Bureau of Analysed Samples Ltd. is very pleased to advise that in November 1994 its Quality System was formally approved and recognised by the award of a Certificate of Registration to the Quality Standard BS EN ISO
9002:1994 for the production and supply of CRMs, RMs and SUS. This certificate has now been revalidated to the new Standard BS EN ISO 9001:2015. Furthermore, BAS was accredited, in June 2006, to the
International Guide, ISO Guide 34 and the accreditation has since been updated to the full Standard ISO 17034.

SETTING-UP SAMPLES FOR DIRECT READING SPECTROGRAPHS

These samples have been thoroughly examined both spectrographically and chemically to confirm the homogeneity of the bulk samples.
Their compositions have NOT, however, been accurately determined since it is not intended that they should be used as Spectroscopic Standard CRMs or as RMs.
An Information Sheet is supplied with each sample giving the approximate composition.
