Summary of this proficiency test: On 19 August 2015 the proficiency test on Methanol started
with 84 participants from 30 different countries. On that date, the samples were dispatched
to the laboratories. Enclosed to the samples were the instructions to the participants for this
proficiency test, forms for the reporting of the analysis results and the
material safety data sheet (MSDS).
The samples can be tested on Appearance, Purity, Colour Pt/Co, Water, Distillation range @760 mmHg, Density @20°C,
Specific gravity 20/20, Permanganate time test @15°C, Carbonisable substances, Ethanol, Chloride,
Sulfur, Acidity, Total iron, Nonvolatile Matter, Trimethylamine, Miscibility (water), Acetone, Benzene, Toluene and UV absorbance.

So be in good time to get the most out of this proficiency test.
