EPA Methods Update Rule - 1633A, 1621, 1628 & ASTM D8421

December 18th, 2024

On December 6, 2024 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed a new proposed Methods Update Rule (MUR), MUR 22, to update the list of approved methods for the analysis of PFAS, PCBs and other chemicals. The new MUR also proposed to codify ASTM D8421, a test method for the analysis of PFAS in Aqueous Matrices.

Reference Standards for EPA Methods Update Rule (MUR), MUR 22

AccuStandard offers a comprehensive selection of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) for the EPA Methods outlined in MUR 22.
