IPTA Reference Material, Full value coals of different coalification areas

The DCC GmbH offers four full value coals from different coalification areas with reference material specifications (hard coal, 50 g, <3 mm, air-dried). The total sample should be (eg in the disc mill) analysis prepared fine.

The IPTA samples have many advantages:

- From these coals reference material can be created with "desired levels" of concentration for individual parameters.
- It is also possible to perform "unphoneable" round robin tests.
- Proficiency test "on demand" certificate after target/actual comparison of individual blend samples.
- Implementation of proficiency testing program with an individual evaluation.
