Participation in proficiency testing (PT) schemes allows laboratories to assess the reliability of their data. A PT was organized by APLAC (Asia Pacific Laboratory Accrediation Cooperation) in 2016 for the determination of Pb and Ni in drinking water. Samples were prepared by K-water institute, Korea, as prescribed in ISO 11885:2008. The concentration range of Pb and Ni is manufactured from 0.5 to 1.0 mg/L in water. The homogeneity tests were carried out on 12 samples selected randomly and each sample was analyzed twice. As expected, the samples were proven to be homogeneous, when assessed using one-way ANOVA. A bottle containing 20 mL of the mixed sample was dispatched to every participant, with a unique code number, to ensure confidentiality of the results. A total of 177 laboratories from 46 different countries registered to the exercise. 149 and 144 results were reported for Pb and Ni, respectively. The standard deviation (σpt) estimated by the Algorithm A was adopted as the expected standard deviation. 75% of the laboratories reported satisfactory results for Pb and Ni, when using analytical techniques such as ICP-MS, ICP-OES and AAS. The remaining 35 laboratories need to investigate the reasons of their poor performance. |
