ALCAN CONFIDENTIAL
Certification:
This reference material has been certified according to Alcan standard methods for which
ARDC is accredited ISO 17025. 20 bottles randomly selected were analyzed for this preliminary
certification. The measurement of uncertainty, which is represented by one standard deviation,
includes the inter-bottled heterogeneity and the method precision. Results are updated by
benchmark analysis in 2007.
Usage:
This certified reference sample is intended both for instrument calibration and method control.
Before sampling, the bottle should be vigorously shaken. An extra amount of sample should
then be dried at 105°C for two hours. Finally, the exact portion is extracted. Do not return the
unused sample in the bottle.
Traceability:
This material is traceable to previous Alcan standards for wet chemical analyses and phase
analyses (TEA, TOC, g.Al2O3). For elemental composition, this material is traceable to NIST
pure compounds and to previous Alcan standards.
