NEWS ON REFERENCE MATERIALS

Additional geochemical reference materials

(Received 4 February 1992)

Abstract-The present column lists additional geochemical reference samples. Included are three tables that provide an easy-to-use survey. The following information is covered: the name of the material; the sample code; the producer; the reference to recent certification; the names and addresses of the suppliers from whom the reference material may be obtained; and specific remarks.

THE INCREASING use of modern “instrumental” techniques for the routine analysis of geological materials requires the availability of well-characterized international geochemical reference samples (GRS) that approximate the matrices encountered. Furthermore, no single reference sample can provide alone the accuracy required in analytical geochemistry, numerous GRSs are needed to ensure quality control. This may explain the explosion in the number of these GRSs in recent years. Over 1000 currently available standards of interest to geoanalysts have already been catalogued in this Journal [l-3]. The number of high-quality GRSs has since increased. More than 30 institutions worldwide have produced many new GRSs. The present issue is a continuation of our earlier instalments and provides a list of these additional samples. As previously, rocks, minerals, ores, soils and related materials of natural origin have been considered in this work. Technical products (sinters, slags, etc.) are not included.

Three tables have been prepared according to the general style we have adopted in our previous instalments of the column.

Table 1 is organised as follows.

(1) The name of the material given by the issuing organization is entered alphabetically in the first column.

(2) The sample code, i.e. the usual abbreviations given by the originator, is shown in column two.

(3) The acronym of the producer is stated in the third column.

(4) References to compilations of analytical data, certificates, reports, catalogues or preliminary information are identified by a number preceded by the letter R. The number in the relevant column refers to the list presented in Table 2.

(5) The supplier from whom the sample may be obtained is identified in a similar manner (using S as the first letter). The names and addresses of the suppliers of the reference material mentioned in Table 1 are given in Table 3. In this manner, readers are able to obtain further information directly from such sources (catalogue price list, quantity of supply, details of purchase procedure, etc.).

(6) Specific remarks that may assist the reader in his choice of samples are indicated in the last column.

In the scope of the present paper, we would also point out that elemental concentration data for GRSs have been compiled by several authors [4-241. In 1989, a special issue of Geustundurds Newsletter was dedicated to the compilation of “working values” for 272 geostandards [24].

In preparing this update, unfortunate oversights might have occurred and many
