2 Interlaboratory studies Various titles: Interlaboratory proficiency test or studies Interlaboratory comparisons Round test, round robin tests Test of qualification Certification study Interlaboratory validation
3 Interlaboratory comparison P 6 P Non-destructive tests Sample circulates between laboratories Destructive tests Parallel distribution of samples
4 Interlaboratory studies Importance of interlaboratory comparisons: Successful participation in an interlaboratory comparison is one of the necessary requirements of a laboratory accreditation or authorisation!!! Interlaboratory comparison: Interlaboratory comparison often consists in inter-comparison of measurement results of a laboratory and a reference (target) value or reference laboratory which is the highest authority of particular country for the measurement concerned. The goal of such interlaboratory comparison is to verify the competence of accredited or non-accredited laboratories, including verification of the reported measurement uncertainties, whenever possible.
5 Interlaboratory studies Before you get started you should ask and answer the following questions: What am I testing? Why do I test? How do I test? How will the workflow be organized? What happens with the results? What am I testing? What is the commodity/matrix I have to test? What is the analyte / substance I have to test for?
6 Interlaboratory studies Why do I test? How do I test? What kind of result is needed? quantitative semiquantitative qualitative exact concentration information approximative concentration levels only YES/NO answer at a certain level
7 TYPES: Proficiency testing Validation of methods Materials certification Assessing: Laboratory performance Analytical methods performance Reference quantity values Number of Labs. not-specified 8 and more (min.5) not-specified Experience of Labs. Various Only experienced Only experienced Analytical method Various Strictly specified Various Influence on lab. confidence Significant Low Low Tracebility Not required Required Extremely important Target quantity X,, (z) r, R X Protocols: ISO 17043:2010 ISO ISO Guide 35: :2000
8 Reference materials o o o Certified In-house Proficiency Scheme samples Usage for: Analytical quality control Method validation Calibration Material or substance one or more of whose property values are sufficiently homogenous and well established to be used for calibration of an apparatus or assessment of a measurement methods - ISO Guide No
9 CRM certified reference materials -controls or standards used to check the quality and traceability of products - a reference standard for a unit of measurement is an artifact that embodies the quantity of interest in a way that ties its value to the reference base for calibration. - the most of analytical instrumentation is comparative, it requires a sample of known composition (reference material) for accurate calibration. - reference materials are produced under stringent manufacturing procedures and differ from laboratory reagents in their certification and the traceability of the data provided. - Quality management systems involving laboratory accreditation under national and international accreditation/certification standards such as ISO 9000 and ISO require the use of Reference Materials. - Whilst Certified Reference Materials are preferred, their availability is limited. The available Reference Materials generally differ only in the detail provided on the certificate.
10 Preparation of reference materials Material is prepared with desired characteristic Homogeneity Stability Certified through a round robin study to establish Reference (consensus) value μ uncertainty of values u or U or confidence interval (95 %) Usage of CRM s improve the reliability lab by means of verifying the accuracy and precision of the lab/method Many matrix/analytes combinations available - does not cover every combination Expensive and limited supply Not relevant where either matrix or analytes are Caution must be exercised when interpreting the results Poor availability pesticide and mycotoxins
11 Reference materials commercially available Properties: o Stable o Homogenous - to allow sub-sampling without bias o Large amounts allow use over a long period o Over 100 producers of CRM s worldwide o LGC/Promochem in the UK o BCR/IRRM at the EU level o Coordinated exercise to prepare CRM s o o o Certified In-house Proficiency Scheme samples
12 Inter-lab validation of method - AOAC
13 Purpose of proficiency tests The primary purpose of proficiency testing is to help laboratories detect and cure any unacceptably large inaccuracy in their reported results. THE INTERNATIONAL HARMONIZED PROTOCOL FOR THE PROFICIENCY TESTING OF ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LABORATORIES (IUPAC Technical Report). MICHAEL THOMPSON, STEPHEN L. R. ELLISON, AND ROGER WOOD: Pure Appl. Chem., Vol. 78, No. 1, pp , 2006.
14 Purpose of proficiency tests evaluation of the performance of laboratories for specific tests and monitoring laboratory performance, identification of problems in laboratories and initiation of action for improvement of which, establishment of the effectiveness and comparability of test methods, provision of conffidence to laboratory customers and lab management, education of participating laboratories based on the outcomes of comparisons, validation of uncertainty claims, external quality control activities required by accreditation bodies and/or authorities, other benefits?

X ref is established as mean of values, uncrtainties are not taken into consideration u X rob n (FAPAS, harmonized protocol)
32 Uncertainty of assigned value When the number of participants is smaller than about 15, even the statistical uncertainty on the consensus (as the standard deviation) will be undesirably high.
