Abstract：As the basis of traceability of measurement, Glycated hemoglobin A1c, (HbA1c) reference material is the direct carrier of value traceability and transfer, which plays an essential role in the quality assurance of clinical test results.It is significant to establish a reference measurement system and the satandardization of clinical tests for HbA1c in China. The preparation process, determination method, reporting units and uncertainty of human HbA1c reference materials at domestic and abroad are briefly reviewed, it can provide reference for the promotion of HbA1c standardization in China. We briefly review the preparation process, determination method, reporting units and uncertainty of human HbA1c reference materials at domestic and abroad for the efficient development of the standardization of HbA1c in China. Through a brief review of the preparation process, calibration method, reporting unit and uncertainty of domestic and foreign reference materials for human HbA1c, it provides reference for the promotion of HbA1c standardization in China.
