Reference materials
are delivered in packaging which conforms to international guidelines1,2.
The type of the packaging material is determined by the nature of the substance(s)

The packaging materials are considered to be disposable without any special
precautions.
Typical shipment weights vary from 0.2 to 5 kg depending on the order. The
materials will be dispatched via DHL or air freight.
The packages are NOT regarded as radioactive under the IATA Dangerous Good Regulations3 (and are shipped in “Type A” packaging materials), therefore no special precautions need to be taken during the transportation of the shipment. The materials do not constitute any radiological hazard.
