<br><br><\/p><p><strong>Objective:<\/strong><\/p><p>Certified reference materials (CRM) are chemically and physically homogeneous materials in which, based on chemical analyses and statistical analysis, the contents of individual elements have been determined. These contents are considered exemplary and serve as a reference in analytical laboratories around the world. The aim of the project was to develop, produce and certify 10 new CRMs for materials based on low-alloy steels, copper, zinc, tin, and aluminium, with a certified content of Cd, Pb, Cr, and Hg (for As instead of Hg steels). These materials are used in the control of the content of these elements in electronic and electrical equipment for compliance with the requirements of the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive RoHS. Such CRMs allow for a simple calibration of the spectrometer in a narrow, Directive-specified range.    <\/p><p>The project included the development of casting methods allowing the casting of homogeneous materials containing limited elements in an amount allowing to obtain from 300 to 600 pieces of CRM for each base. The homogeneity tests were carried out using the following techniques: spark-excitation optical emission spectrometry, fluorescence X-ray spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. <\/p><p>After processing, the produced CRMs are in the form of rollers with a diameter of 40 mm and a height of approx. 25 mm. In the case of steel standards, they are cuboid 35x35x20 mm.  <\/p><p>The casted materials have undergone a number of analyses to certify the content of the above-mentioned elements. In addition to the laboratories of the \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network, renowned foreign laboratories were also involved in analyses aimed at obtaining data to determine certified values. <\/p><p>The project ended with their introduction to the market (TRL IX). The produced CRMs were included in the commercial offer and distribution network of \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network \u2013 Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals and \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network \u2013 Upper Silesian Institute of Technology. They are also used by departments of analytical chemistry of \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network Institutes for ongoing analysis of electronic and electrical materials for compliance with the RoHS Directive.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Projects REFROHS \u2013 Production of reference materials necessary for the analysis of electronic and electrical devices on the EU market regulated by the RoHS Directive Title:REFROHS \u2013 Production of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"National Project: REFROHS","_seopress_titles_desc":"Production of reference materials necessary for the analysis of electronic and electrical devices on the EU market regulated by the RoHS Directive","_seopress_robots_index":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-53820","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"page_icon":null},"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-23 09:19:45","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"translation_priority","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/git.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/git.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/git.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/git.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/git.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53820"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/git.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53820\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53821,"href":"https:\/\/git.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53820\/revisions\/53821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/git.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
