Analysis revealed, that in the area of chemical composition measurements high-purity substances may be regarded as the best measurement capabilities in the database of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. Until now none of the countries of the world has the complete collection of high purity substances with evaluated purity level. At the present time the development of high-purity substances with evaluated values of mass fractions of the base substance is intensively going on to ensure metrological traceability to SI units using both primary methods and other instrumental methods of analysis
