This report describes the location, collection, preparation, homogeneity testing, analysis, data‐processing and assignment of certified values of a polymetallic nodule (GSPN‐1) and marine sediment (GSMS‐1). Materials used in the preparation of these reference materials were collected in 1986 and 1987 from the central Pacific Ocean, by the Chinese Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources (MGMR). A total of fifty one recommended element concentrations and five proposed concentrations are reported for GSPN‐1. For GSMS‐1, a total of fifty recommended and seven proposed values are presented.
