Certified reference materials (CRMs) with high accuracy and traceability are essential tools for the validation of analytical methods and calibration of equipment. In this study, purity CRMs for four polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) esters, namely, cis-(4,7,10,13,16,19)- Docosahexaenoic acid methyl ester (DHA-ME), cis-4,7,10,13,16,19- Docosahexaenoic acid ethyl ester (DHA-EE), cis-(5,8,11,14,17)- Eicosapentaenoic acid methyl ester (EPA-ME) and cis-(5,8,11,14,17)- Eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (EPA-EE), were first developed according to the ISO Guide. The CRMs’ purity values were assigned based on the average of quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance and mass balance approaches. The certified value with expanded uncertainties (k = 2, 95% confidence interval) were determined to be (98.8 ± 0.4) %, (99.0 ± 0.3) %, (98.9 ± 0.4) % and (98.9 ± 0.4) % for DHA-ME, DHA-EE, EPA-ME and EPA-EE, respectively. The four PUFAs esters were homogeneous and stable for 12 months at −4 °C and 7 days at 50 °C.
