Information for 2024
You can freely choose, in which PT rounds you would like to participate and how many parameters you are going to determine.
At least 15 participants are required to ensure an evaluation of the ring tests with statistical relevance. Therefore, rounds with fewer registrations have to be cancelled.
In 2024 our cooperation partner (UBA) will organize a proficiency test round for pesticides in accordance with the Drinking Water Ordinance (PM05).
PM05-E extended scope; PM05-E can be ordered in addition to PM05; PM05-E: not accredited according to EN ISO 17043; details: annual programme 2024
In round N170 (major ions) the Environment Agency Austria will provide Ntot and pH as additional parameters.
In rounds N171 and N173 (major ions) the IFA Tulln will provide silicon and fluoride as additional parameters.
In rounds N172 and N174 (major ions) the IFA Tulln will provide KMnO4-Index as an additional parameter.
In round N173 (major ions) the IFA Tulln will provide easily liberatable cyanide as an additional parameter.
In round M172 (metals and trace elements), in addition to the usual scope, the parameters beryllium, cerium, cobalt, gadolinium, lithium, silver and vanadium will be included. Gadolinium and beryllium are not accredited according to EN ISO 17043.
In round M174 (metals and trace elements), in addition to the usual scope, the parameters antimony, barium, molybdenum, strontium and tin will be included. Strontium is not accredited according to EN ISO 17043. Exceptionally, mercury is not included in this round.
In round CB11 the IFA Tulln offers the combination of the parameter groups VHH and
BTEX&MTBE in the same interlaboratory comparison. The extent of participation is
selectable (VHH, BTEX&MTBE or both). Evaluation of the round will be carried out in a joint report.
In round SP09 (sum parameters) the UBA offers the combination of hydrocarbon oil index and phenol index.
It is also possible to select only the hydrocarbon oil index; only phenol index cannot be selected. Evaluation of the round will be carried out in a joint report.
The proficiency tests VHH and BTEX&MTBE in real water samples (UBA) will be offered in an alternation mode.
In 2024 VHH are offered and a proficiency test for BTEX & MTBE for real water samples will take place in 2025.
