The samples can be analyzed on: Aldehd content, Appearance, Density @ 20°C, Nitrogen, InOrganic Chloride, Sulfate, Total sulfur, Water (coulometric), Water (titrimetric), involatile material content, Copper, Phosphorus, Purity , Acetone, Acetaldehyde, Acetal, Benzene,Cyclohexane, Crotonaldehyde, DEG, DIOXANE,Ethylacetate, ethanol,, electrical conductivity , Iso Butanol, Iso Propanol,MEG, MEthanol (Fuel-.Bio), n-Amylalcohol, n-Butanol, n-Propanol, Sec-Amylalcohol, sec-Butanol, tert-Amylalcohol, tert-Butanol, and methyl 1 butanol.

The deadline for reporting results is set on 2 December 2011. A laboratory that sends in results after deadline will definitely not get direct feedback in case any of its results are suspect! So be in good time to get the most out of this proficiency test.
