This table was reviewed on 11 November 2022 and refers to EffecTech’s ISO 17034 scope (Issue No. 004) for Certified Reference Materials and ISO 17025 scope (Issue No. 057) for Calibrated Gas Mixtures.

Certified Reference Materials (CRMs)

All CRM mixtures are issued with a ISO 17034 certificate and an ISO 17025 certificate. To find out why, see our page on calibration gas certificates.

* The calibration and measurement capability is based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by a coverage factor k=2, providing a level of confidence of approximately 95%. The uncertainty evaluation has been carried out in accordance with UKAS requirements
** The upper limit for oxygen may be limited due to restrictions in place required for the safe manufacture of such mixtures.
