Suisse Technology Partners (Suisse TP)
Aluminium Reference Materials with Swiss Precision
Suisse Technology Partners (Suisse TP) is a specialist producer of reference materials for aluminium alloys and non-ferrous metals, supporting high-precision elemental analysis across industrial and research laboratories.
The Suisse TP reference materials programme traces its origins to Alusuisse and has developed extensive expertise in aluminium spectrochemical analysis since 1964.
Now part of the Goodfellow Reference Materials portfolio, Suisse TP expands Goodfellow's capabilities in non-ferrous metallurgical analysis, complementing the steel-focused expertise of BAS.
Reference Materials for Aluminium Alloy Analysis
Suisse TP produces reference materials designed specifically for the analysis of aluminium alloys across a wide range of alloy systems.
Alloy Families Covered
- 1xxx series – high purity aluminium
- 2xxx series – Al-Cu alloys
- 3xxx series – Al-Mn alloys
- 4xxx series – Al-Si alloys
- 5xxx series – Al-Mg alloys
- 6xxx series – Al-Mg-Si alloys
- 7xxx series – Al-Zn alloys
Analytical Techniques

- X-ray fluorescence (XRF)
- Wet chemical analysis
Used in aluminium production, metal processing, and analytical laboratories worldwide.
Certified Reference Materials and Setting-Up Samples
Suisse TP produces two primary categories of analytical materials.
Certified Reference Materials (CRMs)
These materials provide certified elemental concentrations with associated uncertainties derived from multiple analytical methods and statistical evaluation.
Setting-Up Samples (SUS)
Also known as monitor samples, these materials provide highly homogeneous compositions used for routine instrument standardization, drift correction, and performance monitoring.
Together, these materials support both instrument calibration and day-to-day spectrometer control in aluminium analysis laboratories.
Accredited Production and Analytical Expertise
Suisse TP operates as an accredited reference material producer under internationally recognised quality standards.
ISO 17034
Accreditation for reference material production, ensuring internationally recognised standards for certified value assignment and uncertainty estimation.
ISO/IEC 17025
Accreditation for laboratory testing and analysis, ensuring traceability to the International System of Units (SI).
High levels of material homogeneity and analytical accuracy make Suisse TP reference materials reliable tools for calibration and validation of aluminium analysis methods.
Suisse TP Today — Part of Goodfellow
As part of Goodfellow, Suisse TP's aluminium expertise complements the broader reference materials portfolio, creating a unified offering that spans ferrous and non-ferrous alloy systems.
Through this integration, laboratories gain access to a single source for reference materials across multiple metallurgical applications, supported by Goodfellow's global distribution network and materials science expertise.
