Please note that C – Organics - Full participation comprises 10 separate samples (Standard solutions: 5, 7a, 7b, 11, 14a, 14b, 15, 19, 20. Soil sample & spiking solution: 3c). To view the breakdown of the analytes per individual sample, please see the CONTEST Scheme Description. For the soil sample 3C, measurable levels of all analytes may not be present for every round. When the consensus values (RMean) of the individual PAHs in this sample fall below 1mg/kg, a z score is provided for information only and should be interpreted with care. For sample 20, participants are provided with a solution containing six semi volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) for qualitative identification. This sample is designed to test the ability of a laboratory to identify SVOCs in an organic solvent. A list of potential contaminants is provided in Appendix B of the CONTEST Scheme Description. In addition, participants will also be provided with a sample blank.
For details on the full technical specification of the scheme, please refer to the Scheme Description.
