Introduction

For more than thirty years the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), through itsAnalytical Quality Control Services (AQCS) programme, has been assisting Member States'laboratories to maintain and improve the reliability of their analyses by organising intercomparisonexercises and by preparing and distributing biological, environmental and marine referencematerials. These intercomparisons provide a unique opportunity for laboratories to compare andevaluate their performance relative to other laboratories doing similar analyses. Becauseanalytical results may form the basis upon which national or international authorities makedecisions on economic, ecological, medical or legal matters, it is critical that a laboratory be ableto demonstrate the quality of its results. Records of participation in international intercomparisonsand analysis of reference materials (RMs) are two of the few sources that can provide objectiveevidence regarding the quality of the results and the performance of an individual laboratory.

In the past, intercomparisons organised through the AQCS programme had the goal ofassigning consensus or reference values for radionuclide and element concentrations, stableisotope ratios, or groups of organic contaminant concentrations in natural matrices. Althoughthese intercomparisons served their purpose, it has been recommended, after a thorough reviewof the role of AQCS, that AQCS should move towards proficiency testing in order to better meetthe current needs of the Member States. Proficiency testing involves the use of well characterisedmaterials and its goal is to assess the accuracy and potential bias of a laboratory's results inorder to identify the sources of error and provide assistance to laboratories that are havinganalytical difficulties. To carry out this role, the Agency's laboratories need to select somematerials from their existing stock of reference materials for a more detailed analysis andcharacterisation in order to upgrade them to the level of a certified reference material (CRM). Inthis respect, to be consistent with the ISO definition of "CRM" , some of the materials in thecatalogue have been re-classified from CRMs to RMs. For these materials, new reference sheetswill be issued to replace the original "certificates" that were sent out to customers.

Intercomparisons are still planned for the next few years, but will gradually be replaced byproficiency tests once upgraded RMs and new CRMs become available. As in the past withintercomparison exercises, participation in proficiency tests will be on a voluntary basis.

A number of changes have been made to the catalogue to improve the quality,organisation and presentation of the information.The catalogue consists principally of two parts:

• The list of all available IAEA reference materials grouped into five categories: referencematerials for radionuclides; reference materials for trace, minor and major elements, includingoxides; reference materials for stable isotopes; reference materials for organic contaminantsand methyl mercury containing materials.

• Lists of all available IAEA reference materials sorted by analytes1.

In addition, information on recommended half-life data and suppliers of radioactive sources isprovided. Planned intercomparisons are advertised and request forms for participation inintercomparisons are included. Forms for ordering reference materials, quality control spectra forgamma-spectrometry on diskettes and AQCS related publications are also provided.

1 The word analyte is used throughout this catalogue as a general term encompassing the five following categories:radionuclides, stable isotopes, organic compounds, elements and oxides.

Explanation of Tables and Request Forms

Lists of available Reference Materials

The lists of reference materials are sorted into the five following categories:

• radionuclides

• trace, minor and major elements, including oxides• stable isotopes and carbon-14• organic contaminants• methyl mercury

Where a sufficient number of reference materials are available, a category is sub-dividedinto biological and non-biological matrices and into marine and terrestrial samples. Valuespresented in this list include certified (C), recommended (R) and information (I) values.Information values are given where it was not possible to provide a certified or recommendedvalue at least five accepted intercomparison results were reported. For the certified,recommended and information values, either confidence intervals, standard errors or ranges ofaccepted results are given.

The information in the status column denotes the classification assigned to the values foreach analyte in each reference material. There are three classifications:

• C for certified values: These data represent information of high metrological quality and canbe considered to be the best estimate of the property value in question.

• R for recommended values : A consensus value obtained through the intercomparisonevaluation

• I for information values: A consensus value obtained through the intercomparison evaluation,but did not meet the criteria to qualify as a recommended value

Because the criteria applied to reference materials for recommended and informationvalues were different for each AQCS group, customers should consult the reference sheets andthe intercomparison evaluation reports for more details. The report number is available from thesample information provided for each material. IAEA reports and TECDOCs are available fromAQCS free of charge upon request.

There are two types of dates referred to in the catalogue:

• reference date; date to be used for decay corrections of radionuclides• reference sheet date; date of the intercomparison evaluation or to the date when the values

were last revised

To assist in the re-evaluation of existing RMs, customers are encouraged to submit all the detailsconcerning sample preparation and measurement conditions along with their results for thoroughevaluation.

The element, radionuclide, stable isotope and carbon-14 lists are organised in alphabetical order.The organic contaminants are grouped, in addition, into Pesticides and PCBs, and PetroleumHydrocarbons.

List of Reference Materials sorted alphabetically by Analytes

Similar to the list of reference materials, this list is divided into five categories and eachcategory is further subdivided into biological and non-biological matrices. Each sub-section isintended to provide a quick reference for a specific analyte and represents a complete list of allavailable IAEA RMs for which the analyte has been reported. The lists are sorted alphabeticallyand where an analyte has been reported for more than one reference material, it is sorted inorder of decreasing concentration. Complete details on the corresponding RMs can be found inthe list of all available IAEA reference materials which is cross-referenced by page number.

Intercomparison Request Forms

All planned intercomparison exercises together with participant registration forms are listedat the back of the catalogue. To participate in an intercomparison, fill out the appropriateregistration form and mail it to the AQCS, Vienna.

The intercomparisons are free of charge as long as participants report their results to theorganising group before the reporting deadline. Failure to do so will incur a nominal charge tocover the cost of preparing and mailing the material to the participant. The introduction of ahandling charge was deemed necessary to be fair to those participants who do submit results ontime and those customers who subsequently purchase this material after the material has beencharacterised.

Request Forms for Ordering Reference Materials and Diskettes of Ge(Li)Gamma-Ray Spectra

To order a reference material or a diskette containing a set of the Ge(Li) gamma-rayspectra, the IAEA Request Form should be filled out and sent to:

International Atomic Energy AgencyAnalytical Quality Control Services (AQCS)Agency's Laboratory Seibersdorf (Ref.: G4.12)P.O. Box 100A-1400 Vienna, Austria

Normal delivery time is two to three weeks after receipt of the order. Customers will beinformed on potential delivery problems. Some samples will only be delivered in limited quantitiesper year to a laboratory (or per three years for Stable Isotope RMs) to avoid a quick exhaustion ofstocks.

Prices indicated on the request form are the official quotations and can be taken insteadof a Pro Forma Invoice. Prices will be valid until 31.12.1999, if no other date is mentioned in thecatalogue. The issuing of pro forma invoices requires several weeks and is made available onspecific request by a customer. Prices include shipment by UPS when possible or by air freight.Other means of shipment requested by the customer will be billed to the customer: ChargedCollected.

Payments should only be made after receipt of the reference materials by one of thefollowing methods:

• cheque - to the order of the International Atomic Energy Agency• bank transfer - in US $ or any other convertible currency (see attached list of IAEA bank

accounts page 122)• UNESCO Coupons - available at UNDP offices against local currency

Failure to make payment for the received material will result in the suspension of further sales ofreference materials to all customers from the respective institute until payment is received.IAEA RMs are generally not returnable with the exception of defective materials or errors made inshipment by the IAEA

Ordering of IAEA Reports, TECDOCs and AQCS related publications

To order copies of reports and Technical Documents (TECDOCs) related to referencematerials, please check off the appropriate box on the order Request Form. Copies of otherAQCS related reports as well as copies of all the publications listed in the catalogue can beordered on the same form by adding the relevant report number or title.

Recommended Half-Life Data for selected Radionuclides

On the status of nuclear half-life data of radionuclides (H. D. Lemmel,February 1994)

The IAEA Nuclear Data Section aims at establishing databases for internationally recommendedvalues of nuclear data. In some areas, internationally recommended values have beenestablished, in some other areas not yet, so that different handbooks, wall-charts and othersources may show small differences in the values.

For the most frequently used radionuclides, the values and uncertainties of the half-life data ofground and metastable states are now quite well established. But for less frequently usednuclides, new precision measurements of half-lives may still bring significant changes so thatnuclear databases have to be updated from time to time. Data users are strongly advised toconsider the uncertainties of the half-life values and to take care to use up-to-date values. Themain IAEA projects for establishing internationally recommended half-life values have been:

• Decay data of the transactinium nuclides.IAEA Technical Report 261 (1986). A. Lorenz (ed.).

• X-ray and gamma-ray standards for detector calibration.IAEA -TECDOC-619 (1991). A. Lorenz, H. D. Lemmel (editors).

Both publications were based on IAEA Co-ordinated Research Projects with the participation ofinternational experts for radionuclide metrology. These two data sources cover the mostimportant radionuclides. For all other nuclides there is an international database ENSDF(evaluated nuclear structure and decay data file) which is produced by an International network ofnuclear data evaluators co-ordinated by the IAEA Nuclear Data Section. Updates to the ENSDFdatabase are regularly published in the journals Nuclear Data Sheets and Nuclear Physics A.ENSDF is accessible on-line within NDIS, the IAEA Nuclear Data Information system. It should benoted, however, that the current updating of the ENSDF system is not always fast enough, sothat it is advisable, in certain cases, to check whether a more recent value exists than thatincluded in ENSDF.

A PC diskette ("HL.EXE, HALFLIFE.DBF") has been developed to present recommended valuesof nuclear half-lives in a user friendly manner, including references, uncertainties, and unitconversion (years/days etc.). The present version contains only a limited number of selectedradionuclides, but it is planned to hold an IAEA meeting to agree on a procedure to obtain andmaintain an international database for nuclear half-lives.

The PC diskette, information on most up-to-date values of nuclear data, and instructions how toaccess the on-line NDIS system, can be obtained from Nuclear Data Section.

Notes added in February 1998

V. G. Pronyaev, Nuclear Data Section of the IAEA

No new internationally recognised evaluations of half-life data have been made available since1994. Revisions of ENSDF since 1994 did not, for the most part, affect any half-life data.

116

Taking into account the assigned uncertainties, data given next pages and data from ENSDFare not discrepant. The discussion above regarding the relation between these two data setsstill applies.A new IAEA Co-ordinated Research Project on the "Update of X- and Gamma- Decay DataStandards for Detector Calibration" has just begun. It is proposed that in the framework of thisproject some revision of the recommended half-life data listed in the added table will be madewith results available between 2000 and 2002. Please contact the Nuclear Data Section forfurther details.
