Aims of the PT scheme
Target group of participants All laboratories using biochemical methane potential test for substrates of biogas plants
Linked to specific legislation / standards The samples of the proficiency test should be handled in compliance with VDI guideline 4630 or the VDLUFA method "Determination of biogas and methane yield in fermentation tests" for the scope “fermentation test” (VDLUFA method 4.1.1). For the determination of the residual gas potential, the new VDLUFA method "Determination of the residual gas potential from digestate in the laboratory test" (VDLUFA method 4.1.2; in validation process) must be applied.
Additional, subsidiary aims validation of testing methods
