IAEA-B-7 is a marine limestone, collected at Maiella (Abruzzo) and was prepared by the Istituto di Geoscienze e Georisorse, Pisa, Italy. The material was ground to a grain size smaller than 5 µm and homogenized [1]. The recommended values of the quality control material are the results of the statistical evaluation of an interlaboratory comparison [2].
