Remarks CANSPEX accepts coal samples for distribution through the program only from producers of reference materials that comply with requirements of ISO Guide 35. CANSPEX is a method specific program. It allows participants to compare results from a standard method of test they use in their laboratory with a different standard method of test used in another laboratory. For example for volatile matter in coal results from ISO 562 can be compared with results from ASTM D 3175 or ASTM D 7582. Results a re presented in both tabular and graphical formats. Participants have access to a corrective action program that keeps a record of any corrective action reported.
