Synopsis

Unlock the science behind how standard reference materials ensure measurement accuracy.

This nonfiction guide explains the National Bureau of Standards’ approach to preparing, testing, and certifying standard reference materials. It covers topics from light-sensitive paper for calibration to the procedures and certificates that accompany each shipment.

The text outlines how SRMs are used across science and industry worldwide, and it details the structure of the related publications, including how fading, calibration, and traceability are managed. It also describes practical steps for conducting exposure tests, rating results, and ordering paper and booklets.

• Understand standard fading hours (SFH) and how they relate to real clock time in controlled tests.
• Learn procedures for exposing paper, evaluating fading, and creating calibration curves.
• See how to maintain quality by re-calibrating instruments and using paired reference materials.
• Find guidance on ordering, certificates, and the relationship between paper lots and fading rates.

Ideal for researchers and lab technicians who work with standard reference materials and calibration papers.
