INTRODUCTION
Public confidence in measurement results is important in many aspects of modern society,

including consumer protection in food consumption, health-care, environmental protection, and
fair trade. Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) are cornerstones of modern analytical quality
assurance because they allow calibration of instruments, validation of methods, and quality
control of methods and laboratories based on traceability and comparability of measurement
results.
The JRC-Geel provides

IRMM certified reference materials, produced by the EC-JRC
BCR® certified reference materials (BCR® is a registered trademark of the EC), for
which production was supported by research funding of the European Commission, DG
Research
and
ERM® certified reference materials (ERM® is a registered trademark of the EC), a
brand launched in 2003 for CRMs of the highest quality.
These CRMs are produced according to specific Guidelines of the European Commission
which are in agreement with the relevant ISO Guides 34 and 35. The JRC-Geel has been
accredited for the production of reference materials since 2004 (accreditation certificate
BELAC 268-RM)
1
Certificates
Certificates carry a certified value with its uncertainty which is traceable either to a SI unit or an
internationally accepted reference. The intended use for each CRM is stated on the certificate.
CRMs are stored under controlled conditions which ensure their stability. Monitoring
programmes have been set up to control CRM stability during the whole shelf-life.
At present JRC-Geel's Reference Materials Unit offers about 700 different CRMs. A complete
list of these CRMs, including description and price as well as the CRM catalogue and all
certificates and certification reports can be accessed directly via the online catalogue:

Availability
As CRMs should become regularly used items in any measurement laboratory, JRC-Geel's
Reference Materials Unit continues its effort to supply CRMs in sufficient amount to cover
market needs. However, in exceptional cases where only limited amounts are available, it
reserves the right to restrict and/or refuse orders. The reference materials contained in this
catalogue are made available world-wide through the JRC-Geel's Reference Materials Unit
and its authorised distributors.

Peanut Test Material Kit (IRMM-481)

The peanut test material is not a reference material, because it could not be tested for homogeneity
and stability. The intention is to make a standard peanut matrix available to the research community
who may wish to conduct wider studies on similar matrices pre-treated in different ways. At present
only the nominal particle size and the pre-treatment applied to the peanuts before milling can be
guaranteed as well as the tolerances of weighing of 1.000 ± 0.015 g of each variety in the peanut
mixture provided in the kit.

4.2 CERTIFIED FOR MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Shear testing of powders BCR-116

The flow of powders or granulated materials under the force of gravity affects the design and operation
of silos used for their bulk storage. The European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE)
therefore developed a test method, based on the Jenike Shear Cell, to determine the shear strength of
powders under different compaction and loading conditions. The complexity of this method is such that
errors due to poor technique can easily arise. A reference material has therefore been produced with
which laboratories can verify both their equipment and experimental technique.
Essentially the EFCE method consists of using a known load to compact a powder sample into a
cylindrical Jenike Cell composed of two metal rings one upon the other. Having reached critical
compaction of the powder, the steady state force necessary to displace the upper ring horizontally with
respect to the lower one is determined with the compaction load still applied. Having established steady
state shear the normal load on the powder is then reduced and the horizontal force necessary to
continue to shear the powder is determined. It is this variation of the shear force as a function of the
reduced normal load for a given compaction load which characterizes the powder.
The reference material consists of 3 kg of limestone powder packed in a polyethylene jar. It is
accompanied by a certificate giving shear stress as a function of normal applied stress for four different
powder compaction stresses.
Creep BCR-425
Creep is the progressive deformation of a material under load. Metallic materials are usually tested at
elevated temperatures for periods of 1 000 to 100 000 hours by surrounding them with a suitable
constant temperature furnace. The need to operate under such conditions gives rise to problems of
alignment, strain measurement, temperature measurement etc. which can result in considerable
differences in results between laboratories.
BCR-425 was therefore developed to allow laboratories to validate their creep testing rigs and
procedures as a whole within a reasonable time (500 to 600 hours) using a material whose properties
are sensitive to test conditions.
The test piece is delivered in the form of a bar of 14 mm diameter and 500 mm length which must be
machined by the laboratory to the required shape and size.
At a test temperature of 600 °C, using an applied stress of 160 Mpa the certified properties are as
follows:
Creep rate at 400 hours of (72 ± 5) 106 h1
Time to a creep strain of 2 % (278 ± 16) h

Impact toughness Charpy specimens

Impact toughness is the ability of a material to resist fracture under the effect of shock loading. It is
determined by means of a conventional test defined in ISO and CEN Standards.
The test is sensitive to many sources of errors and therefore already 40 years ago, ASTM specification
required testing machines to be verified periodically by reference specimens. The recent CEN standard
(EN 10045-2: 1993) specifies that impact toughness machines should be certified by using the BCR
certified reference Charpy specimens or other specimens traceable to the latter.
The reference specimens described here are supplied by groups of five. Their use must be done in
accordance with the instructions given in the certification report, in particular with regard to degreasing.
The fracture energy is certified for the CEN striker (knife of 2 mm radius).
Measurements generally need to be performed at 20°C, with the exception of ERM-FA013 where one
batch has certified values at 0°C and 20°C to avoid jamming. We will deliver by default a batch certified
by 20°C unless the order explicitly mentions the value at 0°C.
For each energy level there are several batches of slightly different values. The following table gives
the nominal values, the certificate gives the actual values.
