The Committee on Standardization of Laboratory Testing Related to Diabetes Mellitus of the Japan Diabetes Society (JDS) previously recommended use of the primary calibrator (JDS Lot 1) prepared by the former Committee for Standardization of Glycohemoglobin for standardizing the measurement of haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Owing to the depletion of vials of Lot 1 in March 2001, the present committee certified a new reference material, Lot 2, now distributed by the Health Care Technology Foundation (HECTEF). The standardization programme for HbA1c measurement in Japan is currently based on Lot 2, which has values assigned from within Lot 1; the Lot 1 values were consensus values based on assays by laboratories in the Japanese national quality control programme. In this study, for the purpose of international comparison and standardization, Lot 2 was assayed by the JDS reference laboratories, the National Glycoprotein Standardization Program (NGSP) in the USA, and by reference laboratories approved by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC).
