Reference products

BAM's reference products allow the industry and research institutes to compare measurement to recognised reference values. Reference products are frequently used for determining measurement uncertainty, for calibration and for validation of methods, suitability testing and quality assurance.

BAM webshop

The BAM webshop offers online access to over 400 materials from various areas such as iron/steel, environment, food, polymers and many more.

Reference material

Reference materials are essential, when the accuracy and reliability of measurement results need to be guaranteed in order to generate confidence in the analysis. This is because incorrect measurements can result in incorrect decisions, and therefore also in substantial additional costs or even hazards. For this reason, BAM provides its clients from industry, research institutes and authorities with high-quality reference materials targeted to their needs.

Reference procedures

Reference procedures are measurement, test or analysis methods which BAM makes generally available for comparison and/or traceability purposes.

Proficiency testing

BAM participates in defining technical regulations for the organisation, performance and evaluation of interlaboratory comparison and individual proficiency testing. BAM also makes the information system EPTIS available.

Calibration laboratory

BAM operates its own accredited calibration laboratory for force, temperature and electrical quantities. The calibration laboratory of BAM is accredited by the German national accreditation body (DAkkS ) according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. The services are available for both internally at BAM and for external customers.
