Abstract Analyses of milk and milk products are routinely performed by a number of dairy laboratories to control the quality of these products with regard to e.g. nutritional components and potential exposure to toxic elements. In order to improve and control the quality of such analyses the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) has organized series of certification campaigns to produce reference material of milk certified for a variety of elements and compounds. The increasing demand is such that the stock of some of these materials is now exhausted. Consequently, the BCR decided to produce a new batch of CRM of skim milk powder certified for its contents of Ca, Cu, Cl, I, Fe, K, Mg, P, Pb, N, Na and Zn (CRM 063R). This material was carefully prepared (spray-drying) and its homogeneity and long term stability was verified. This paper presents the certification work performed.
