When it comes to analytical chemistry, precision and accuracy are paramount. Laboratories worldwide rely on Whether in pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, or petroleum analysis, the reliability of measurement results depends heavily on the quality of reference materials and calibration standards used in the laboratory. Certified Reference Materials (CRMs), reference materials and calibration standards to ensure accuracy in their measurements, but not all CRMs are manufactured and certified the same. Accreditation under ISO 17034 plays a critical role in differentiating
In any analytical laboratory, precision and accuracy are paramount. Whether in pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, or petroleum analysis, the reliability of measurement results depends heavily on the quality of reference materials and calibration standards used in the laboratory. Certified Reference Materials (CRMs), reference materials and calibration standards are critical in ensuring accurate, reliable and traceable measurements, selecting the correct CRM for your laboratory's requires careful consideration.
Introduction to ISO 17034
ISO 17034 is an international standard that sets out the requirements for reference material producers and helps ensure the reliability and accuracy of measurement results and reference materials produced. Reference materials play a critical role in quality control and assurance across a wide range of industries, including petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, environmental testing, and more. By adhering to ISO 17034, reference material producers can demonstrate their competence and expertise in producing reliable and traceable materials. In this blog, we will explore the key aspects of ISO 17034 and how it can benefit both reference material producers and end-users.
Understanding the Importance of International Standards
International standards play a crucial role in today's globalised world. They provide a common set of guidelines and requirements that facilitate trade, ensure product
