Additional Information:
DESCRIPTION
A total sample size of 30g is provided.
The sample has been heat sterilized.
This sample should be digested using USEPA method 3050, 3051 or equivilent methods.
SAMPLE PREPARATION
Perform the sample digestion on an appropriate amount of sample according to the selected digestion procedure. The
recommended minimum sampling size is 0.5 grams.
Determination of the percent moisture content of the material is required.
All results are reported on a dry weight basis.
It is recommended that approximately one gram of the soil be digested.
1 Metrological traceability: Traceable to the SI and higher order standards from NIST through an unbroken chain of comparisons. The balance used to weigh raw materials is accurate to +/-0.0001 g and
calibrated regularly using mass standards traceable to NIST. All dilutions were performed gravimetrically. Additionally, individual analytes are traceable to NIST SRMs where available and specified above.
4 Ucrm - Uncertainty values in this document are expressed as Expanded Uncertainty (Ucrm) corresponding to the 95% confidence interval. Ucrm is derived from the combined standard uncertainty multiplied by
the coverage factor k, which is obtained from a t-distribution and degrees of freedom. K=2 unless specified. The components of combined standard uncertainty include the uncertainties due to characterization,
homogeneity, long term stability, and short term stability (transport). The components due to stability are generally considered to be negligible unless otherwise indicated by stability studies. The mathematical
representation of the Ucrm calculation is as follows:
u CRM 2
u char u hom

k: Coverage factor derived from a t-distribution table, based on the degrees of freedom of the data set. Assume 2.0 for a Confidence interval = 95%
Traceability: The standard was manufactured under an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified quality system. The balance used to weigh raw materials is accurate to +/- 0.0001g and
calibrated regularly using mass standards traceable to NIST. All dilutions were preformed gravimetrically. Additionally, individual analytes are traceable to NIST SRMs where
available and specified above.
Homogeneity: Homogeneity was assessed in accordance with ISO 17034:2016. Completed units were sampled using a random stratified sampling protocol. The results of chemical
analysis were then compared using a one-way analysis of variance approach as described by TNI EL-V3-2009 Appendix A.2. See Instructions for minimum sub-sample size.
MSDS reports for components comprising greater than 1.0% of the solution or 0.1% for components known to be carcinogens are available upon request.
THIS PRODUCT WAS DESIGNED, PRODUCED AND VERIFIED FOR ACCURACY AND STABILITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (ANAB Cert AT-1467) and ISO
17034:2016 (ANAB Cert AR-1470).
