What's GSJ Reference Samples
?
The Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) has issued 31 rock reference samples
for the analysis of major, minor and trace elements, isotopic compositions
and isotopic ages. The purpose of this standard reference material project
in Geological Survey of Japan is to improve and check the reliability of
analytical data obtained from different methods and different laboratories.
Therefore, these samples (total number is over 8000) have been distributed
to analytical laboratories in 43 countries worldwide and the analytical
data obtained with cooperative works were compiled and used to improve
the accuracy of the data
