Proficiency Tests for Wastewater Analysis
Eurofins Miljø provides accredited proficiency testing for wastewater analysis.
Eurofins offers four annual proficiency testing rounds, and matrix and concentration levels vary between effluent, untreated sewage and synthetic wastewater.
The proficiency tests are open to all laboratories, and typical participants are public and private environmental laboratories and operational laboratories in wastewater treatment plants and industries.
For more than 40 years, Eurofins Miljø has carried out proficiency testing for wastewater analysis with great success. The proficiency testing program is accredited under DANAK accreditation no. 534 according to ISO 17043.
Why participate in proficiency testing?
Proficiency testing (PT) is part of the continuous quality assurance of a laboratory’s analytical results. Proficiency testing is an external quality control of the laboratory's ability to analyse and report correct values. There are several reasons why laboratories participate in proficiency testing.
You can:
- Compare your results and performance with accredited laboratories.
- Ensure high analytical quality for operational and self-monitoring purposes.
- Assess the impact of interferences that may occur in the analysis of natural samples.
- Assess the analytical quality when measuring samples with high and low concentration levels.
- Retrieve a theoretical value on an unknown sample.
- Assess the impact from interferences that may arise from the analysis of highly contaminated natural samples.
