Quality: Overview proficiency tests

Proficiency tests are part of Primoris’ everyday operation. These are independent tests that try to verify the analysis quality of a laboratory. Further, their results are used to evaluate the performance of the analysis methods and, if necessary, adjust them. Subsequently, Primoris also takes part in various undercover proficiency tests to meet the strictest quality demands possible.

In July, August and September Primoris entered in the following proficiency tests:

  • Italian NRL AO: pesticides on olive oil
  • BNN: pesticides on cherries
  • Proof-ACS: mineral oils on edible oil and chocolate muesli
  • Sciensano: mycotoxins on oat flour
  • FAPAS: contaminants on cocoa butter
  • FAPAS : pesticides on wheat flour
