Abstract Working group 5 of EuraChem Nederland has developed a framework for the implementation of reference materials in analytical chemistry. In this discussed paper, the framework is proposed as a tool for the development of standard operation procedures (SOPs) in laboratories. The implementation of (certified) reference materials in these SOPs is of major importance in establishing comparability and traceability in measurement results, which in turn play a crucial role in measurement in support of trade, environmental issues, and characterisation of materials. Recent developments in the field of uncertainty analysis require the application of reference materials. It is recognised that the calculation of the combined measurement uncertainty becomes almost impossible without the use of certified reference materials with a stated uncertainty.
