Summary of this proficiency test:

On 21 January 2015 the proficiency test on MTBE started with 23 participants from 13 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 deadline for reporting results is set on 20 February 2015. 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.
