In the world of chemical and spectroscopic analysis, precision isn’t just important—it’s everything. Whether you’re analyzing metals, ores, or alloys, your results depend on the quality and reliability of your reference standards.
That’s why Graham B. Jackson Pty Ltd (GBJPL)proudly supplies certified BAS reference materials, bringing you over 80 years of trusted expertise from the Bureau of Analysed Samples Ltd. (BAS).
Let’s dive into why BAS Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) are the gold standard for laboratories worldwide—and how Graham B. Jackson Pty Ltd (GBJPL)makes sourcing them easier than ever.
Who is Bureau of Analysed Samples Ltd. (BAS)?
Founded in the United Kingdom in 1935, BAS has been a pioneer in the development and production of high-quality certified reference materials.
Their mission: to support the iron and steel industries—and later, many others—with the highest levels of accuracy in chemical and spectroscopic testing.
Today, BAS reference materials are recognized and trusted globally, especially in industries where analytical precision is non-negotiable.
The BAS Portfolio: Precision for Every Application
Whether you’re conducting chemical analysis or operating advanced spectroscopy techniques like Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES) or X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), BAS offers a wide range of materials to suit your needs:
Chemical Analysis (Chip and Powder Samples)
- Plain carbon steels
- Alloyed steels
- Cast irons
- Ferro-alloys
- Non-ferrous alloys
- Ores, slags, and ceramics
Perfect for laboratories that require consistent, reliable standards for wet chemistry or instrumental analysis.
Spectroscopic Analysis (Solid Disk or Block Samples)
- Plain carbon steels
- Low alloy and highly alloyed steels
- Cast irons
- Select non-ferrous alloys
These BAS reference materials are specifically designed for calibrating and verifying performance in OES and XRF instruments, ensuring your readings are both accurate and reproducible.
Setting-Up Samples
BAS also offers specialized “setting-up samples” for steel and cast iron, helping labs configure and validate new spectrometers effectively.
Non-Certified Reference Materials (RMs)
For applications where certified values aren’t required, BAS provides high-purity metals, ceramic materials, and various types of irons and alloys—giving you cost-effective options without sacrificing quality.

Why Certified Reference Materials Matter
In industries like metals production, mining, and advanced materials testing, tiny errors can have big consequences.
Certified Reference Materials are essential because they:
- Validate the accuracy of your test methods
- Ensure your laboratory maintains accreditation (ISO 17025, etc.)
- Support consistent product quality and compliance with industry standards
- Minimize costly mistakes and product failures
By using BAS reference materials, you’re investing in better accuracy, better reliability, and better peace of mind.
