Remarks The next Hydrocarbons and PAHs in Water PT will be run in June 2024 and has three samples (potable water). This study will also include a pilot program focusing on analysis of 17b-estradiol which will be provided free of charge and is not scored (17b-estradiol is not covered by our ISO/IEC 17043 scope of accreditation). Another Hydrocarbons and PAHs in Water PT will be run in October 2024 and has three samples (river water). Please let us know if there is a particular analyte you would be interested in seeing added to either scheme. Surplus of test samples from previous NMI studies can be used for method validation and quality control and are available for sale. A catalogue with the QA samples available for sale is available on request. A discount to the participation fee is also available for participants that sign up to analyse all samples in several NMI PT studies ahead of time. Please email proficiency@measurement.gov.au for more information regarding enrolment and purchasing samples.
