95.45% confidence level. The uncertainty includes the measurement variability among
the testing laboratories, material inhomogeneity, latter controlled through statistical
means (ISO 13528:2015). The specific surface (Blaine) is the best estimate of true value
based on the results of analytical programme carried out in three NCB laboratories.

Traceability: The BND 5002 is metrologically traceable to SI units through Indian


national measurement standards at CSIR-National Physical Laboratory (National
Measurement Institute of India). All measurements have been carried out to establish
traceability through an unbroken chain of comparisons, having stated uncertainty.

Nature of Material: Non-hazardous

Date of Certification: 23rd October 2018

Instructions for Storage and Use and Precautions for Handling:
1. BND 5002 CRM should be used in controlled conditions, using calibrated equipment, by
trained personnel.
2. TheBlaine cell calibrated for bed volume, preferably by an accredited laboratory, must be
used.
3. Before use, shake the material vigorously for 2 minutes in a suitable jar to break any lump
or agglomerate. Wait for 2 minutes and then stir with a clean rod in order to distribute the
fines throughout the material.
4. The material should be stored under non-humid conditions to avoid any ingress of
moisture/CO. One vial is sufficient for carrying out one time calibration for apparatus
constant, taking measurements on three compacted beds, as required in IS 4031 (Part 2)-
1999. Leftover portion in a vial, if any, should not be used at a later date.
5. For standardization, prepare the bed of this CRM (standard sample) using 0.50 porosity.
Alternatively, make a firm bed by trial method.
6. Porosity of the test sample will have to be determined by trial method using the following
equation given in IS 4031 (Part 2)-1999, for calculating specific surface oftest sample:
W pV1-e)
7. Specific gravity of test sample and CRM being almost same (in Indian cements), the
application of above CRM simplifies calculation of apparatus constant for PPC and
provides greater degree of accuracy in results.
8. Record of usage of CRM and the results must be maintained.

Expiration of Certification: The certification of BND 5002 is valid, within the measurement
uncertainty specified, until 30h September 2023, provided the CRM is handled and stored in
accordance with instructions given in this certificate. The certificate will be treated as
nullified if the storage and handling instructions are not followed.

Maintenance of Certification: NCB will monitor this BND over the period of its
certification. If substantive technical changes occur that affect the certification before the
expiration of certification, NCB will notify the purchaser.
