CRC ECMA-182 reference

I would like to cross check a C implementation of the CRC64 ECMA-182 algorithm.

I tried a different C code snippet I found online and I tried two online CRC calculators but each of them returned different results.

Is there some reference implementation or reference data that allows me to get a reliable reference checksum?

The EMBL-EBI web site has an online checksum calculator, that is used in the context of bioinformatics for analysing protein or genome sequences:

that supports many different methods, included the CRC64-ECMA-182. You can paste your input sequence directly in the form and it will return the checksum. The problem is that the input is a sequence must be one from a set of fixed formats:

However those formats are quite simple, for example the FASTA (link)
