APMP-APLAC collaboration APMP-APLAC Joint Proficiency Testing (PT)

Working Group (WG) NMIs/DIs coordinate PTs and provide homogeneous and

stable samples with certified reference values as assigned PT reference values, in connection with registered relevant CMCs or KCRVs.

Joint PTs in 2014 APLAC PT T093: Toxic elements (Pb and Cd) in

Cabbage <KRISS/KOLAS> - 83 participants - Completed

APLAC PT T094: Pesticide residues (p,p'-DDE and alpha-endosulfan) in Cabbage <KRISS/KOLAS> - 70 participants - Completed

APLAC PT T095: Elements (Ca and Cd) in drinking water <NMIJ/GLHK> - 99 participants - Measurement finished - Parallel to CCQM-K124/P158

Joint PTs in 2015 APLAC PT T100: Toxic elements (Pb and Cd) in

wheat flour <KRISS/KOLAS> - 91 participants - Measurement finished

APLAC PT T102: Pesticide in fruit juice <GLHK> - Proposal approved

Joint PTs proposed Elements in food supplement <GLHK> Organochlorine pesticides in ginseng root <GLHK> Nutritional elements (Fe and Zn) in wheat flour
