Abstract: | The availability of certified reference materials, certified in accordance to the GUM is an important tool for the proper
estimation of measurement uncertainty in routine analysis. Many CRMs may suffer from incomplete or wrongly estimated uncertainties,
mainly due to lack of guidance on how to implement the GUM in the production of CRMs. In particular the inclusion of the impact
of inhomogeneity and instability in the uncertainty budget is often missing. The ongoing revision of ISO Guide 35 aims to
fill this gap in providing guidance how (batch) inhomogeneity and instability can be translated into measurement uncertainty.
The structure of the current ISO Guide 35 has been maintained as far as possible, but major parts underwent revision to become
better aligned with GUM and ISO Guide 34 (2000).
