Abstract
There are a wide variety of spectrophotometric devices nowadays used in health services with various qualities of manufacture methods of measurement and metrological characteristics for performing the necessary measurements. Therefore, to meet the accuracy and repeatability requirements needed in medical diagnosis and treatment, the validation of the performance of such systems by clinical chemistry laboratories is essential. However, the validation of a spectrophotometric system for clinical analyses requires several reference materials, according to the end use of the measurement results. This paper discusses some characteristics required of the clinical reference materials needed and used by Romanian Institute of Metrology for validation work. Types of clinical reference materials developed in the national area for this purpose are also presented.
