The SETA-CRM range is designed to support routine instrument verification and ongoing performance monitoring. Each ISO 17034 Certified Reference Material is supplied with a certified value, measurement uncertainty, coverage factor and method limits, providing laboratories with the information needed to support ISO 17025 quality systems and demonstrate measurement traceability.

The 100 mL container is supplied with 85-95% ullage, meeting the requirements of IP 170 Section 8.2 and ensuring suitability for routine verification procedures.

In addition to routine quality control, SETA-CRMs can be used for operator training and competency assessment. Using a Certified Reference Material removes uncertainty when evaluating instrument performance, helping laboratories demonstrate competence during internal and external audits while reducing instrument downtime

Routine verification using the SETA-CRM Abel Flash Point 40 helps laboratories identify instrument drift before it affects reported flash point results, supporting reliable test data and ongoing compliance with IP 170 and ISO 17025 requirements.
