BS PD ISO/TR 79:2015 summarizes the state of the art of the production and certification or
characterization of qualitative property reference materials (RMs).The need for guidance documents for the production of RMs certified for qualitative properties was
recognized by many experts. At the same time, the available information was found to be too immature
to develop an internationally accepted guidance document. Additionally, the lack of an international
vocabulary for terms and definitions for qualitative properties made it more difficult for the experts
from various testing areas to communicate with each other.ISO/TR 79 summarizes the available expertise. It aims to contribute to the on-going discussion
on nominal properties and the production of such RMs. The investigation of nominal properties is
referred to differently in various specialized areas (examination, classification, identification, testing,
observation, etc.). ISO/TR 79 tries to foster the future development of an internationally harmonized
guidance document.Cross References:ISO Guide 35:2006ISO Guide 80:2014ISO Guide 34:2009ISO/IEC 17020:2012ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
