We briefly present here the environmental isotope intercalibration programs of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In fact, the IAEA has implemented two parallel programs during the last 20 years: for stable isotopes of light elements and for a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, tritium. This IAEA activity resulted in the preparation of a number of reference and intercomparison materials of various types, now stored in the Agency and available upon request.
