Class <<FeatureType>> ReferenceSpecimen (extends SF_Specimen )

A reference specimen is a specimen with known or accepted values of some property. The citation property describes the location of a published description of these values. Reference specimens include analytical blanks.

Analytical results from a reference specimen analysed during an AnalyticalSession are delivered in the same way as the results of other specimens analysed in that session.
