- Waters : Search of multiresidues of organic substances 
Search for priority substances, other substances and pesticides described
in the European Water Framework Directive |
THE PROFICIENCY TESTING SCHEMES
APPLICATION OF THE ISO 43-1 'S GUIDE
The proficiency testing schemes follow the recommendations found in the ISO 43-1 guide "Proficiency testing of laboratories by intercomparison".
The proficiency testing schemes are all characterized by :
- Confidentiality
- Independance
- Power of logistics :
- Campaigns organized from September to June
- Monthly sending of samples
- Wide range of raw materials
- Rapidity of results diffusion
- Punctuality of the organization
- Professionalism of the statistical analyses
ADHERENT PARTICIPATION
The adherents take part in the carrying out and functioning of the proficiency testing schemes. They are associated to the choice of the products, criteria and frequency of rounds during the meetings of all the participants of each scheme.
If you are interested in a PT scheme, do not hesitate to contact us.
The prices of the annual series include transport costs so they depend on the final transport area, so contact us for the prices in your zone.

LAUNCHING OF AN EXPERIMENTAL P.T. SCHEME : 59-WATERS: SEARCH OF MULTIRESIDUES OF ORGANIC SUBSTANCES
P.T. Schemes aims: Search for priority substances, other substances and pesticides described in the European Water Framework Directive
European Water Framework DirectiveP.T. SCHEME CONFIRMED: 51 - MICROBIOLOGY ON FOOD STUFFS
P.T. SCHEME CONFIRMED : 57-WATER : FIELD ANALYSIS BY SAMPLERS
You must check the quality of the analysis results of analyses of your samplers within the framework of your Quality system and of your accreditation and you want to emit reports under accreditation. this P.T. Schemes will enable you to test the results of a maximum of ten samplers on the following analyses:
For the 2008/2009 session, Bipea offers two new opportunities in the analysis of chemical contaminants which might be of interest to you. The creation of several options has been made for the determination of pesticides and trace elements in foodstuffs which allows you to choose the matrices of interest for you.
The P.T. Schemes will be organized according to the following principle:
Analysis on feed watersQualitative method with détermination of presence or absence of Salmonella spp in the samples.3 samples of 500 ml by sending allowing combinations of positive and negative samples + a temperature witness.3 sendings during the 2008-2009 annual series
The P.T. Schemes will be organized according to the following principle:
Sample of 500 ml in glass bottleWines naturally contaminated in A ochratoxin and doped with other contaminants.Analysis parameters : A ochratoxin, ethyl carbamate, histamine, tyramine, diamino-1,4 butane, benzoïc acid, sorbic acid, salicylic acid, cadmium, aluminium, arsenic, selenium, butanol-2, trichloroanisole (TCA), tetrachloroanisole (TeCA), tribromoanisole (TBA).If you are interested by the participation in this experimental P.T.Schemes or wish to receive additional information, you can contact Anna ADEREK to the following email address: commercial@bipea.org
The P.T. Schemes will be organized according to the following principle:
Samples of 250 g of flour in 500 ml flaskBasic floursAnalysis parameters : Total germs, total coliforms, faecal coliforms, moulds, yeast.3 sending during 2008-2009 annual series.Technical background :
This PTS would have for aim to sensitive the laboratories to the differences existing between the methodologies: the analysis of microbiological criteria by a specific method for flours and the analysis of the same criteria by a reference method. The differences of measure, which were pointed out, are important probably because of a difference of pre-treatment of the sample (phenomenon of decantation). So it can be observed an important underestimation of the results by the general method compared to the specific method for flours:
Total flora: value from 100 to 16.000 UFC/gMoulds: value from 120 to 1.500 UFC/gThese differences of methods are at the beginning of observed deviations between the indicative values and the observed contents by the users of the specific standard for flours: these deviations lead to exceedings questioning the pertinency of the indicative values.
