Summary of this proficiency test:

On 4 November 2015 the proficiency test on DGA on Transformer Oil started with 48 participants from 24 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 and the material safety data sheet (MSDS).

The samples have to be analyzed on: Free and dissolved gases, Hydrogen H2, Oxygen O2, Nitrogen N2, Carbon monoxide CO, Carbon dioxide CO2, Methane CH4, Ethane C2H6, Ethene C2H4 (ethylene), Ethyn C2H2 (acetylene), Propane C3H8 and Propene C3H6.  

The deadline for reporting results is set on 4 December 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.

The test results have to be reported via our internet based "results reporting platform". A login and a password can be requested via email to iisnl@sgs.com
