Hierarchy of reference materials certified for chemical composition

Abstract: Reference materials have been widely used as measurement standards in the fields of chemistry, biology, engineering and physics, and have played an important role in ensuring the comparability of measurement results. In recent years, an increasing number of countries and international organizations have made efforts to develop reference materials and have discussed such basic underlying issues as terminology, hierarchy, traceability and uncertainty. This paper presents a personal view on some of these matters … Show more

“…Hence, coulometry requires no reference for comparative evaluation and traceability. The Faraday constant is one of the fundamental constants [11] and has been proposed as an ultimate standard in chemistry [12,13], providing an alternative source for measurement traceability [14,15] compared with the traditional approaches [16]. The main use of coulometry is in the certification of primary reference materials that can be subsequently used to disseminate traceability to chemical measurements, e.g.…”

“…Les efforts et les difficultés pour soumettre les mesures chimiques à ces principes sont à l'origine du retard rencontré dans l'élabo-ration d'un consensus sur une traçabilité acceptable pour l'ensemble des mesures en chimie. La présentation cidessous s'efforce de résumer les apports des principales contributions et discussions les plus récentes [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], issues de groupes de travail créés dans le cadre des organisations internationales s'intéressant à la métrologie en chimie (Tab. I), particulièrement dans le cadre du programme de recherche « Normes, Mesures et Essais » de la Commission Européenne [17].…”

“…Again, errors can be corrected for using sensitive methods which themselves need not be primary. Combined relative standard uncertainties as low as 2 7 10 -5 can be achieved with constant-current coulometric titration [7].…”

“…The main field of application is the direct determination of the purity of substances to be used as high-level references [7]. Unlike the usual way of determining purity by summing up impurities, with coulometry the abundance of the substance itself is directly determined, irrespective of the amount and kind of the impurities.…”
