Correction to “Stable isotope reference materials and scale definitions – outcomes of the 2024 IAEA experts meeting”

March 15, 2026

This article corrects the following: Camin, F., Besic, D., Brewer, P., Allison, C., Coplen, T., Dunn, P., Gehre, M., Gröning, M., Meijer, H.-A.-J, Hélie, J.-F., Iacumin, P., Kraft, R., Krajnc, B., Kümmel, S., Lee, S., Meija, J., Mester, Z., Mohn, J., Moossen, H., Qi, H., Skrzypek, G., Sperlich, P., Viallon, J., Wassenaar, L. and Wielgosz, R. (2025). Stable Isotope Reference Materials and Scale Definitions—Outcomes of the 2024 IAEA Experts Meeting. Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom, 39: e10018, https://doi.org/10.1002/rcm.10018.

In the above article, the text of note 3 in Section 4.2 is incorrect. The correct text is shown below:

3. Whilst limited amounts of the original VSMOW and SLAP scale-defining reference materials may still be available, to enable continuous wide distribution of RMs for VSMOW-SLAP scale realization (normalization, calibration) the scale-maintaining reference materials VSMOW2 and SLAP2 are available. VSMOW2 and SLAP2 have δ(18O) values identical to VSMOW and SLAP, respectively, but with an uncertainty with respect to VSMOW and SLAP.

We apologize for this error.

The CIAAW-IUPAC endorsed all isotope delta scale definitions appearing in Camin et al. (2025) and agreed to publish the current and all future updates and corrections to these definitions on its website (www.ciaaw.org).
