Abstract	The use of reference materials (RMs) is a key activity for the improvement and maintenance of a worldwide coherent measurement system. As detailed in ISO Guide 33, RMs with different characteristics are used in measurement processes, for the purpose of precision control, bias assessment, calibration, assigning values to other materials, and maintaining conventional scales, to name a few. For the establishment of metrological traceability of measurement results to international scales or other measurement standards, proper use of certified reference materials (CRMs) is essential. From the perspective of a reference material producer, the documentation that is provided with an RM is the value-adding component of the material; for the user, the document is critical for the correct implementation and use of the RM in the measurement process. The ISO Committee on Reference Materials (ISO/REMCO) recognised the importance of the documentation that accompanies a reference material as early as 1981 when the first edition of ISO Guide 31 was published. The third edition of the Guide that was published recently considers the appropriate accompanying documentation for all types of reference materials, i.e. CRMs and non-certified RMs.
