Summary of this proficiency test:

On 30 January 2013 the proficiency test on Acetic Acid started with 26 participants from 18 different countries.

On that date, the samples were dispatched to the laboratories. Enclosed to the samples were the sample receipt form for the participants to return upon receipt and the safety data sheet (SDS).

The samples have to be analyzed on Acetaldehyde, Appearance, Colour Pt/Co, Chloride, Density, Formic Acid, Freezing point, Iron, Nonvolatile Matter, Purity (calculated from freezing point & titrimetric), Water, and Sulphate.

The deadline for reporting results is set on 1 March 2013. 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.
