Summary of this proficiency test:

On 29 October 2008 the proficiency test on Transformer Oil started with 23 participants from 12 different countries.

On that date, the samples were dispatched to the laboratories. Enclosed to the samples were the instructions to the participants for this proficiency test, forms for the reporting of the analysis results and the material safety data sheet (MSDS).

The samples can be analyzed on: Extractable organohalogenic compounds (EOX), Polychlorinated biphenyls as PCB and Polychlorinated biphenyls as Arochlor.

The deadline for reporting results is set on 28 November 2008. 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.
