Abstract Total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry was applied for the certification of IAEA lichen-336. The elements Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr and Pb were determined simultaneously. The concentrations range from 1.8 mg/kg for Rb to 2360 mg/kg for Ca. The results were compared with those of other methods and laboratories having participated in this certification for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA): emission spectrometry, mass spectrometry, atomic absorption spectrometry, X-ray spectrometry, neutron activation analysis and voltammetry. The results determined by TXRF are in good agreement with the overall means of accepted values and differ from the means by 1 to 10%.
