As the use of surface analysis increases, the need for standards (reference procedures, reference data, and reference materials) becomes more urgent. This article describes recent activities and current plans of three organizations that are active in developing standards for surface analysis: Committee E‐42 on Surface Analysis of the American Society for Testing and Materials; the Surface Chemical Analysis Working Party of the Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards (VAMAS); and the Working Group on Surface Analysis of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
