Website for IAEA Reference Products
The
IAEA Reference Products for Environment and Trade website is undergoing a major
update. To see the full functions on the website, please sign in with your
NUCLEUS account using the upper right link to "Log in". Please contact us on our contact point mailbox at: Analytical-Reference-Materials.Contact-Point@iaea.org
Planned launch date for the new site is 27th November 2023. All nucleus accounts should remain active. Addresses and contact details need to be entered fresh at upper right side link "My account". There will be a redirect installed that brings your from the old (current) pages to the new site.
The
IAEA provides reference materials (RMs) to laboratories world-wide to assist
them in the quality assurance of the results they obtain by nuclear
analytical techniques. More than 90 different reference materials are
distributed by the IAEA. The materials are characterized for analytes belonging
to one of the following groups: Radionuclides, Trace Elements and Methyl Mercury,
Organic Compounds or Stable Isotopes. The IAEA is the world's largest
supplier of matrix reference materials characterized for radionuclides. Some of
the IAEA reference materials characterized for stable isotope ratios are at the
highest metrological level as international measurement standards.
Reference Materials Catalogue
Note: Due to the "end of year" requirements, order that are arriving until 1st of December 2023 will be processed and shipped within 2023, order arriving later than 1st of December 2023 will be stored and processed after resuming operations in January 2024.
Accreditation
The
IAEA laboratories responsible for the production of certified reference
materials (CRMs) for activity concentration measurements of radionuclides are
the Terrestrial Environmental Radiochemistry Laboratory in Seibersdorf, and the
Radiometrics Laboratory in Monaco. These laboratories maintain a joint quality
management system in accordance with the International Standard ISO 17034:2016.
As of 2022, both laboratories are accredited producers of selected certified reference materials for activity concentration measurements of radionuclides. The accreditation certificate and current scope of accreditation can be viewed here. The CRMs currently covered by the scope of accreditation are listed in a separate table here. The certificates of these CRMs carry the accreditation mark with the accreditation reference number on the first page of the certificate. Not all IAEA Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) for radionuclide activity concentrations are within the scope of accreditation.
