AbstractReference materials (RMs) are one of the basic materials used by the laboratories to prove the reliability of their test results. In this research, preliminary studies have been carried out to develop reference materials (RMs) according to ISO 6892-1 tensile testing standard. For this purpose, EN 10130:2006 quality 1 mm thin sheet steel was prepared as appropriate to standard. Homogeneity tests and inter-laboratory comparison tests were performed. Results of these tests and reproducibility criteria that specified in ISO 6892-1 were evaluated to understand the qualification of the produced RMs. It was considered that samples can be accepted as RMs with the application to IAF member organizations.
