| Remarks | 1. Edible vegetable oil PT: For labs within the East African Community (EAC) region, they will pay only 220 US$, while for labs outside the EAC region, they will pay 220 US$ + courier charges. Where labs require PT rest portions, and the PT provider can ascertain that the rest portions are still homogeneous and stable enough for PT purposes, the labs may ask for them from the PT provider on pre-payment of US$ 50 + bank charges charged in their own countries + the cost of courier delivery per PT sample matrix. 2. After confirming/registering to participate in the PT round, the PT participating laboratory / institution will be sent a proforma invoice indicating the money payable and the relevant bank details. It is a requirement that the PT participating laboratory / institution makes payment before receiving the PT samples. 3. Each PT round is normally followed by a PT round evaluation & training workshop for the participating labs/institutions that is hosted by one of the EAC PT providing institutions' country on a date that is communicated in advance. Though participation in the workshop is voluntary, it is highly recommended as this event brings together all the participants and other stakeholders, and is an opportunity for learning and networking. 4. Whereas the hosting institution may avail some refreshments such as tea and lunch during the EAC PT round evaluation & training workshop days, the participants attending the workshop have to meet their own costs for travel (air ticket and inland, accommodation, meals, and subsistence) and other incidental expenses. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
