Reference procedures can basically be allocated to three main denotations:

  • A procedure for which the quality of the result is known and sufficiently high that it can be used to assess the quality of the result from another procedure
  • A procedure that defines a measurement parameter or test value
  • A procedure that is specified by a statutory provision for a measuring or testing task.

In BAM, the term "Reference Procedure" is used in line with the first meaning above. Test procedures for which there are specific statutory provisions – for example in the area of hazardous substances or hazardous goods law – are not included. The reference procedures are used in all of BAM’s focus areas.
