• The aim of the work was to develop new radioactive standard sources based on epoxy resins. The optimal proportions of the components and the homogeneity of the matrices were determined. The activity of multigamma sources prepared in Marinelli beakers was determined with reference to the National Standard of Radionuclides Activity in Poland. The difference of radionuclides activity values determined using calibrated gamma spectrometer and the activity of standard solutions used are in most cases significantly lower than measurement uncertainty limits. Sources production method and quality control procedure have been developed. •An optimum composition and sample preparation method of homogeneous resin matrix was developed.•Matrices densities were equal 1.1gcm−3 and 1.5gcm−3.•Matrix production method was validated.•The sources activity was determined with reference to the national standard of radionuclides activity in Poland.•The sources activity was checked using the HPGe detector GEM20P4.
