Dear Valued Customers,
IARMA has recently released the final reports of the Proficiency Tests ERAD, EGROSS, and ETRIT for the cycle 2022. These tests were conducted to evaluate the analytical capabilities of laboratories in accurately determining natural and anthropogenic radionuclides, gross alpha/beta, and tritium in both water and mushrooms.
By participating in these proficiency tests, laboratories gain valuable independent evidence of their performance. The reports provide detailed insights into the strengths and weaknesses of their analytical processes, allowing them to identify and address any shortcomings that may have been detected.
The final reports not only present the results of the ERAD, EGROSS, and ETRIT proficiency tests for the cycle 2022 but also outline the methodologies and data evaluation approaches employed. This comprehensive information ensures transparency and helps laboratories understand the evaluation criteria used during the tests.
It is worth noting that the preparation and characterization of the proficiency test items were carried out in collaboration with esteemed institutions such as the Józef Stefan Institute (Slovenia) and the Environmental Research Institute (UK). This collaboration ensures the credibility and quality of the proficiency tests, providing laboratories with reliable benchmarks for their performance assessment.
IARMA offers convenient access to the final reports through the Customer Portal. Laboratories participating in the proficiency tests can easily download the reports from the portal, allowing them to review the detailed findings and recommendations. This user-friendly approach ensures that the valuable information contained within the reports is readily accessible to all participating laboratories for long time.
