On that date, the samples #1036 - #1038 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 analyzed on Acid Number, Acid Value, Carbon Residue , CFPP, Copper Strip Corrosion , Total Contamination, Density @15 ºC, Flash Point , Iodine number, KinematicViscosity @ 40 ºC, Oxidation Stability , Sulphur, Sulphated Ash, Water, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus , Potassium, Sodium, Methanol, Monoglycerides, , Diglycerides , Triglycerides , Free Glycerol, Total Glycerol, Total Ester Content, Linolenic Acid Methyl Ester and Cold Soak Filter Test.
