Certified Reference Materials (CRM)
Rowe Scientific stocks and supplies a wide range of Certified Reference Materials. Listing these standards would involve a catalogue of its own so we have listed a synopsis of the major sources of Certified Reference Materials and the types that they cover.

ASCRM - Australian Standards and Certified Reference Materials.

Canmet
Canmet has around eighty different types of material available in its range of Certified Reference Materials. These include environmental reference materials, powdered Canadian ores, geochemical and radioactive reference materials, physical test materials, metals and alloys.

NIST (formerly NBS)
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (USA) produce a huge range of standards which are characterised by the prefix “SRM”. These can be separated into three main areas:
- Standard reference materials for Chemical Composition
- Standard reference materials for Physical Properties and
- Standard reference materials for Engineering Materials

Standard Reference Materials for Chemical Composition include ferrous metals, non ferrous metals, microanalysis, high purity materials, health and industrial hygiene, inorganics, primary gas mixtures, fossil fuels, organics, food and agriculture, geological materials and ores, ceramics and glasses, cement and engine wear materials.

The range of SRM’s for Physical Properties include ion activity, electrical, polymeric, thermodynamic and optical properties, radioactivity, metrology, ceramics and glasses and X-ray spectrometry. NIST’s range of engineering standard reference materials include materials for sizing, surface finish, nondestructive evaluation and fire research.

BGS
British Geological Survey Standard Reference Materials can be identified by the prefix “IGS”. The range includes geological ores and ore concentrates with certified values for rare-earth oxides.

South African Standards
Identified by the prefix SARM, South African Standards produce a range of Certified Reference Materials which includes geological, ores, semi processed minerals, coal and uranium.

BAS
Bureau of Analysed Standards prepare a large range of Certified Reference Materials for the metallurgical industry. These are commonly identified by the prefixes BCS and ECRM. The range includes ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ores, fluxes, ceramic materials, minerals and cements.

National Water Research Institute
The Canadian National Water Research Institute, or NWRI, prepare a range of water and sediment certified reference materials with values for trace metals, major ions, organic compounds and nutrients.

National Research Council Canada
This range of certified reference materials for environmental analysis can be identified by a code consisting of an acronym followed by a number. The range includes biological tissue, natural waters, sediments and toxins.

BCR
The Community Bureau of Reference’s (BCR) range of Certified Reference Materials can be classified under the following headings: Environment, Water and Food Microbiology, Food and Agriculture, Biomedical, Physical Properties and Industrial Raw Materials and Products.

High Purity Standards
As well as boasting a wide range of metals, salts & oxides, HPS produce a range of Certified Reference Materials. These include certified wastewater, sediment & soil solutions, trace metals in drinking & biological materials, sea water and TCLP solutions.

Many other certified reference materials are available. Please ask about your requirements.
