SUMMARY
This report has been produced from a database on analytical reference

materials of biological and environmental origin, which is maintained at the
International Atomic Energy Agency. It is an updated version of an earlier
report, published in 1985, which focussed mainly on reference materials for trace
elements. In the present version of the report, reference materials for trace
elements still constitute the major part of the data; however, information is also
now included on a number of other selected analytes of relevance to IAEA
programmes, i.~. radionuclides, stable isotopes and organic microcontaminants.
The database ; -.esently contains 2,694 analyte values for 117 analytes in 116
biological and 77 environmental (non-biological) reference materials produced by
20 different suppliers. Additional information on the cost of the material, the unit
size supplied, (weight or volume), and the minimum weight of material
recommended for analysis is also provided (if available to the authors). It is
expected that this report will help analysts to select the reference material that
matches as closely as possible, with respect to matrix type and concentrations of
the analytes of interest, the "real" samples that are to be analysed.

1. INTRODUCTION
In December 1985 the International Atomic Energy Agency issued a report [ I ]

on the availability of reference materials of biological and environmental origin.
That report aimed to give the users of such reference materials an overview of the
types of matrices accessible and information on the concentration levels of some
of their elemental constituents. The recent development of new analytical
methodologies (such as ICP-MS) and the improvement of existing ones has opened
the way for new studies on trace and ultra-trace elements in the environment and
in biological systems. However, for the accurate determination of elements at
very low concentration levels, a strict application of analytical quality assurance
(QA) procedures is almost a necessity. QA should indeed be mandatory for all
kinds of chemical analysis, but is especially important for trace element analysis.
To this end the International Atomic Energy Agency has introduced QA as an
obligatory step in the research carried out by participating institutes within its
own Co-ordinated Research Programmes for Nutritional and Health-Related
Environmental Studies.
For the proper application of QA, the careful analyst is well advised to choose
a reference material that matches as closely as possible, with respect to matrix
type and concentrations of the elements of interest, the "real" samples that are
to be analysed. The present report provides a survey of all currently available
biological and environmental reference materials known to the authors. It is
expected that it will help the analyst to select the most suitable reference material
for the analysis of any given samples.
This report is an updated version of one issued in 1985. The database created
at that time contained information on 60 biological and 40 environmental (non-
biological) reference material from 11 suppliers, with a total of 69 elements
recorded and 1771 elemental concentration values. The database presently
contains 2,694 analyte values for 117 analytes in 116 biological and 77
environmental (non-biological) reference materials produced by 20 different
suppliers. Most of this information still refers to trace elements. However, in
addition, various new kinds of analytes are now included in the database, as
outlined in the following section.
2. SCOPE OF THE REPORT
As in the previous version of this report, a series of tables is included to help

the user to find suitable materials in different ways. The information contained
here has been reproduced from the relevant certificates of analysis, information
sheets and other reports. Although the focus of this document is on trace
elements, details are also reported on major and minor elements such as Ca, K, N
and S if these are mentioned in the relevant certificates of analysis. In addition,
this issue now contains information on a number of other selected analytes of
relevance to IAEA, programmes, i.e. reference materials with certified or
information values for organic microcontaminants, radionuclides (from natural
fallout or produced as a consequence of nuclear accidents) and stable isotopes.

One of tho difficulties in compiling a database of this type is the fact that
there are discrepancies among the producers concerning how the relevant
information should be quoted [2]. For example, there is a confusing lack of
uniformity in the technical terms currently used. "Control material", "reference
material", "research material", "standard reference material" and "certified
reference material" are sometimes used as synonyms. A variety of terms is also
currently used to describe the concentration values reported, e . g . "certified",
"recommended", "assigned", "indicated", "non-certified" and "information".
Although four international organizations, namely B1PM (International Bureau of
Weights and Measures), 1KC (International Electrotechnical Commission), ISO
(International Organization for Standardization) and OIML (International
Organization for Legal Metrology), have adopted a vocabulary covering many of
these issues [ 3 ] , their recommendations are not always followed consistently by
the producers. In this report only two kinds of values are recognized, either
certified or non-certified. The meanings of these terms (as used here) are
explained further in section 3.
Also included in this report (in Tables 3-7) is data (if available to the
authors) on the cost (in US$) and unit weight or volume of each material. This
data was mostly compiled in the last quarter of 1989. The prices of those materials
originally quoted in other currencies were converted to US$ using typical
exchange rates applicable in January 1990.
Further information on the preparation and nature of some of the materials

listed here can be obtained from other publications on biological reference
materials [4J and marine reference materials [ 5 ] . In addition, most of the
certificates of analysis accompanying each material contain a summary of the
procedure used for sampling and preparation of the material, and a description
of homogeneity t e s t s , analytical methods used in the analysis and information on
the statistical procedures employed in the evaluation of the data.
Not included in this report are a large number of geochemical reference

materials, which, in many cases, could be used as analogues of environmental
materials such as soil and sediment. Comprehensive data on such materials is,
however, already available in a compilation of data for 170 international reference
samples published by Govindaraju [61.

3. DESCRIPTION OF DATA AND ABBREVIATIONS USED
The samples listed in this report are all identified by a "Code No.", which is
generally a combination of the name of the supplier (in abbreviated form, see
Table 1), together with the name or number given to it by the supplier. For
example, the IAEA's reference material A-ll milk powder is identified throughout
this report by the code: IAEA-A-ll.
Elements are identified by their chemical symbols, radionuclides and stable

isotopes by their isotopes and organic compounds by their common abbreviations
(e.g., Al, Cs-137, C-14, pp'DDT).
Column "T" (see Tables 3-12) contains a code for the Type of reference value
specified by the issuing authority. For details of the exact meaning of the
- 4 -
terminology used, please consult the original certificate of analysis or relevant

documentation. The letter "C" has been used when the level of concentration of
the analyte is certified (this category also includes recommended concentrations
or values quoted as having a "satisfactory" or "acceptable" degree of confidence).
The letter "N" (indicating not certified) has been used for information values or
similar data. In this column, the codes "C" or "N" may further be combined with
"*" or "#" to indicate that the concentration of the analyte is expressed in
different units, such as mg/L, Bq/filter or atom % (see next paragraph).
The column heading "Concentration, mg/kg or mg/L" (see Tables 3, 4, 5, 8,

9 and 10): each value is generally given on a dry weight basis in units of mg/kg
(parts per million). However, for water, urine, most blood and most other liquid
reference materials, values are expressed on a wet weight basis, in mg/L; in these
cases an asterisk (*) is printed in the preceding column, namely column "T". The
column heading "Concentration, Bq/kg, mg/kg and Bq/filter" (see Tables 6 and
11): values are given in Bq/kg of dry material. When a value for a non-
radioactive analyte has been given in the certificate of analysis, an * is printed
in the preceding column, namely column "T". For the material IAEA-083 the unit
is Bq/filter for each radionuclide and is indicated by a # in column "T". The
column heading "Enrichment per mille and atom %" (see Tables 7 and 12): for the
material IAEA-311 the concentration unit is atom % and an * has been printed in
column "T" to indicate this fact.
The column heading "Error %" (see Tables 3-12): this is the percentage error
which, applied to the analyte value, gives the confidence interval for that value
( i . e . , if c is the concentration and p is the percentage error, then the overall
confidence interval is from c(l-p/100) to c(l+p/100)). For some materials, the
confidence interval is not symmetrical about the quoted analyte value. In such
cases, which are indicated by an asterisk in the following column, namely column
"E" in Tables 3-7, it is necessary to consult the original documentation for further
information.
The column heading "E" (see Tables 3-7): here the type of Error is indicated,
as follows.
a = 95% confidence interval for the mean.

b = ±2 standard deviations of the mean.
c = 95% / 99% tolerance interval (i.e. with 95% confidence, the analyte
concentration in at least 99% of the samples should be included in
the listed interval),
d = 99% / 99% tolerance interval.
0 = other.
An asterisk (*) in combination with a confidence or tolerance interval ( e . g . ,

a*) signifies a non-symmetrical form of confidence interval or a small modification
of the usual definition. For further information, the original documentation
should be consulted.
- 5-
For many of the materials listed, the issuing authority indicates a minimum
weight of sample that should be taken for analysis. This is to ensure that,
despitvi possible inhomogeneities in the reference material, the actual
concentration is still within the specified confidence interval. These minimum
weights are printed, if available, at the top of each column of data in Tables 3-7
together with information on the unit size and price.
4. SPECIAL NOTE ON LIQUID REFERENCE MATERIALS
In this report, values for elemental concentrations are given as described in

the relevant certificates of analysis, information sheets or other reports obtained
from the suppliers, i . e . , in almost, every case on a dry weight basis. Values for
all milk reference materials are also reported on a dry weight basis (mg/kg).
However, values for all water, urine and blood (except IAEA-A-13) reference
materials are reported on a wet weight basis (mg/L). As explained in Section 3,
an asterisk (*) is printed in column "T" if a wet-weight basis is used. For the
reference material NBS-SRM-1643b, trace elements in water, the certified values
in the original certificate of analysis are expressed in nglg. However, to fnllov.'
the rule indicated above, the values included in this report are expressed in mg/L
assuming a density of 1 g/mL. To obtain the correct concentration in mg/L the
reader should multiply the values indicated in this report by 1.017 g/mL, the
actual density of this material at 23"C, as indicated in the certificate of analysis.
If one wishes to make the concentrations for these liquid reference materials
comparable with those reported for the other reference materials, concentration
values for blood and urine reference materials may be converted approximately to
a dry weight basis using the following assumed ratios of dry-to-wet weights:
blood = 0.2, urine = 0.07 (from lyengar et al. [7]).
All values for oil reference materials are reported in mg/kg.
5. OTHER RELEVANT REFERENCE MATERIALS
As already mentioned in Section 2, there are many geochemical reference

materials available which have similar matrices to some environmental materials,
such as soil and sediment. Details are not included in this report since they have
already been published by Govindaraju 16].
The suppliers listed in this report expect to issue more reference materials of
biological and environmental origin in the near future. Some may already have
been produced while this report was being reproduced. For further information
users should contact the producers directly. An address list is given in Table 1.
- 6-
New suppliers are also expected to enter the market for reference materials.
A fresh initiative in this respect, which is due to become operational on a regional
basis, is exemplified by the proposed Asian Society for Reference Materials
(ASREM) [8].
In several countries there are also national standard reference materials or

on-going programmes to prepare and produce them. Such materials are not
included in this report since the authors do not have a list of them or any
information on their availability to the international scientific community. Readers
of this report are kindly requested to provide the authors with any relevant
information on such reference materials, if they are available for international
users. In addition, if the reader knows of any other relevant reference materials
from other suppliers, the authors would he grateful to be informed about them so
that details can be included in future revisions of this report.
Although somewhat outside the scope of this report, calibration sources for
radioactivity measurements may also be of interesi to many readers. Information
on potential suppliers, reproduced from a recent IAEA Technical Report | 9 ] , is
given in Annex I.
6. DISCLAIMER
Although the authors have tried to exercise all necessary care in preparing
this report, the correctness of the values reported cannot be guaranteed. The
reader is advised that the original certificates of analysis or other relevant
reports are the definitive sources of information and should, in all circumstances,
be consulted before any use is made of these materials. If the reader thereby
discovers any errors in this report, the authors would be grateful for having the
matter drawn to their attention.
7. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The authors would like 1o thank R. Schelenz and S. Ballestra for assistance
in assembling part of the data quoted in this report.

Annex 1 *
POTENTIAL SUPPLIERS OF CALIBRATION SOURCES

AND REFERENCE MATERIALS FOR RADIOACTIVITY MEASUREMENTS
This annex contains a list of potential suppliers of calibration sources and refer-
ence materials for radioactivity measurements. The list is based mainly on informa-
tion provided by the Agency's Member States who were surveyed in 1988.
Additional information from suppliers' catalogues and published reports is also
included. Although the list is extensive, it may not be complete. Calibration sources
are also available from a number of suppliers of nuclear counting instruments. These
have not been included in the list, but the reader can contact the manufacturers of
instruments of interest for further information. The list contains names and addresses
of commercial suppliers as well as national institutions. Some of the larger commer-
cial suppliers have branch offices or local representatives in many countries; further
information should be available from the Head Offices of these suppliers.
Inclusion of a supplier in the list does not indicate an endorsement of that
supplier by the Agency. The onus is on the reader to ascertain whether the products
offered by a supplier are adequate for the purpose intended. To ensure accurate ana-
lysis of radioactivity, the standards used to calibrate the instruments must be trace-
able to a competent standards institution. The reader is cautioned further that radio-
nuclides that are supplied as unstandardized sources have only a nominal activity
value assigned to them. Since the nominal value usually differs markedly from the
true value, such sources cannot be used for calibration purposes unless they are first
calibrated by a competent standards institution.
The Agency assumes no responsibility for errors in the entries, nor for the
completeness of the list, since the information was supplied by other parties.
