Certified reference materials (CRM) are being widely used for quality control assurance in environmental analysis. For certain CRM, the analytes and/or the range of concentrations are not be available or certified at all. The Joint Research Centre – Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (JRC-IRMM) of the European Commission has issued a CRM of Wild Berries (IRMM-426) in order to validate radionuclide measurement methods for activity concentrations of the natural radionuclide  40 K and the anthropogenic nuclides  90 Sr and  137 Cs, but not for  210 Po. The aim of the work was to determine low-level activity concentration of  210 Po in these wild berries. The activity concentration of  210 Po was assessed by α-particle spectroscopy after dissolution of the sample by wet digestion and chemical isolation of Po by extraction chromatography. According to the time elapsed since sample collection, the results here shown can be useful not only for ultra low-level analysis of  210 Po but also for  210 Pb in the reference material.
