From the blast furnace to the biotech lab, one thing remains universal: if your data isn’t trusted, your decisions aren’t safe.
Across Australia’s industries—mining, pharma, aerospace, and beyond—Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) are the quiet heroes of every quality test and calibration. And for labs dealing in metals and alloys, there’s one name that rises above the rest: MBH.
Now, thanks to the partnership with Graham B Jackson Pty Ltd (GBJPL), Australian labs have streamlined, local access to one of the world’s largest and most rigorously accredited CRM portfolios for metals and alloys.
What’s at Stake? Everything.
When you’re analyzing a stainless steel weld, checking cobalt levels in aerospace parts, or validating 3D printed titanium, the margin for error is microscopic—but the consequences are massive:
Regulatory non-compliance
Product recalls or failures
Legal risk or reputational loss
Compromised public or environmental safety
With GBJPL + MBH, you’re not just buying a disc of metal—you’re securing defensibility, trust, and precision.
CRMs: The Metal Standard for Metal Standards
Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) aren’t just part of the process—they’re the standard that all standards are measured against.
With CRMs, labs gain:
Reliable instrument calibration
Method validation with confidence
Data accuracy that stands up in audits
Traceability to global metrology benchmarks (like NIST)
MBH CRMs come with full Certificates of Analysis, uncertainty documentation, and ISO 17034 credentials—making them regulator-ready, audit-proof, and scientifically sound.
