1) As obtained by combustion and subsequent quantification by infrared detection.
2) As obtained by inert gas fusion.
3) Unweighted mean value of the means of accepted sets of data, each set being obtained in a different laboratory and/or
with a different method of determination. The certified value and its uncertainty are traceable to the International System of
units (SI).
4) The uncertainty of the certified value is the expanded uncertainty with a coverage factor k = 2 (except for Al and V with k
= 2.78 and k = 2.57, respectively) corresponding to a level of confidence of about 95 % estimated in accordance with
ISO/IEC Guide 98-3, Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM:1995), ISO, 2008.
This certificate is valid for five years after purchase.

3) For Bi, Hg, La and Ru, the given value corresponds to the highest limit of detection of accepted sets of data, each set
being obtained in a different laboratory and/or with a different method of determination. The indicative value and its
uncertainty are traceable to the International System of units (SI).
4) With a 95 % probability, the indicative value is below this level.
5) The uncertainty of the indicative value is the expanded uncertainty with a coverage factor k = 2 corresponding to a level
of confidence of about 95 % estimated in accordance with ISO/IEC Guide 98-3, Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in
Measurement (GUM:1995), ISO, 2008.
The minimum sample intake representative for B, Co, Nb and Si is 10 mg. The minimum sample
intake representative for Bi, Hg, La, Ru and Zn is 100 mg.
