Abstract
Two polymer (polyethylene) reference materials have been produced in suppor t of EC Directive 94/62/EC on plastic packaging and packaging material The paper describes the preparation of the materials, the analytical work perfo rmed to characterize their homogeneity and stability, and the certification of the materials for a range of elements. The technical and statistical ev aluation of the results are also summarized.
