4 1 Introduction Proficiency study 644 as directed by the CHEK working group concerned the investigation of solvents benzene (CAS no ), toluene (CAS no ) and chloroform (CAS no ) contents of two adhesive samples. To get an impression of the performance of the quantitative determination of solvents in adhesive 19 laboratories were invited to join this proficiency study. 2 Time-table Homogeneity of samples 18 July 2016 Distribution of samples 29 August 2016 Deadline for the production of results 30 September 2016 Final report 15 October Sample preparation Adhesive samples A and B uniform level 587 g adhesive (solution of rubber in a mixture of solvents) was obtained from the local market g benzene (CAS no ), 1.75 g toluene (CAS no ) and 1.75 g chloroform (CAS no ) were added to the adhesive and thoroughly minced in a plastic container by shaking for 1 hour in a powder blender. After homogenisation approximately 80 sub-samples of about 5 g were prepared in plastic sachets. The homogeneity was checked by the laboratory of the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, Groningen by randomly selected samples for the determination of the benzene (CAS no ), toluene (CAS no ) and chloroform (CAS no ) contents (see table II). The average contents were 0.274% m/m benzene, 0.267% m/m toluene and 0.314% m/m chloroform. Samples were stored at room temperature (+20 C) in the dark until shipment. To each of the participants two samples coded A and B were sent. Participants were instructed to store the samples at room temperature in a dark place and to mix each samples before analyses. page 1
5 4 Statistical results Results and Z -scores The results of the laboratories and the Z -scores are given in table I. Figures I to IX give graphical presentations of the results. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), preceded by checking for normality and outlier checking of the results (Cochran/Grubbs) is the statistical procedure for obtaining the estimates of withinlaboratory and between laboratory variability. Standard uncertainty In this proficiency study the standard uncertainty u x was higher than 0.3 times the assigned standard deviation according to Horwitz. According to ISO 13528:2005 this means that the uncertainty is not longer negligible and needs to be included in the interpretation of the results of the proficiency study. So in this proficiency studies Z - scores are calculated (instead of the usual Z-scores), which include the standard uncertainty. A standard uncertainty (u x ) was calculated according to ISO 13528:2005 as following: u x = 1.25 s n Where: s = standard deviation of results of laboratories (calculated exclusive outliers). n = number of laboratories (calculated exclusive outliers). Performance The performance of a determination is assessed as following: satisfactory = 0-2 x maximum allowable RSD R (including uncertainty) questionable = >2-3 x maximum allowable RSD R (including uncertainty) unsatisfactory = >3 x maximum allowable RSD R (including uncertainty) For the target standard deviation in most of the cases Horwitz shows a good maximum allowable RSD R but does not include different levels of complexity of analytical method. If the target standard deviation is not chosen realistically the interpretation satisfactory, questionable and unsatisfactory is not valid. In this study it is more adequate to use the reproducibility standard deviation (s R ) as target standard deviation and maximum allowable RSD R. So this proficiency study provides precision data for these specific analyses. page 2

Prof. study Number of labs Average % m/m RSD R % Acceptable RSD R % Conclusions benzene in adhesive samples A and B The performance of the determination of benzene in adhesive is questionable, this is caused by the large spread in results. The results approach a normal distribution. The results of laboratories 6 and 13 are marked as outliers by the Cochran test indicating bad repeatability and are rejected. The results of laboratory 3 are marked as stragglers by the Cochran test indicating bad repeatability but are not rejected. No Grubbs outliers are found in the datasets of sample A and B. The results of laboratories 11 and 19 are marked as stragglers by the Grubbs test indicating systematic errors but are not rejected. The absolute Z -scores of laboratories 3, 11, 13, 15 and 19 are greater than 3 and suggest poor performance in terms of accuracy. page 3

The results approach a normal distribution. No Cochran or Grubbs outliers are found in the datasets of sample A and B. The results of laboratory 13 are marked as stragglers by the Cochran test indicating bad repeatability but are not rejected. The absolute Z -scores of laboratories 1, 3, 7, 11, 13, 15 and 19 are greater than 3 and suggest poor performance in terms of accuracy. page 4

11 8 Explanation of graphical presentations Z -score As a criterion for evaluation of the performance of an individual laboratory a socalled Z -score is used. The Z -score is given by the following equation: Z' = x µ u 2 x + σ 2 Where: x = an (average) laboratory result µ = the average result of all laboratories (calculated exclusive outliers). σ = an assigned precision standard (according to Horwitz). = uncertainty of this proficiency study. u x As a fixed target value the maximum allowable standard deviation is used calculated according to Horwitz. The Z -score for an individual laboratory can be compared with those of previous proficiency studies to determine whether the laboratory performance has improved. Because Z is standardised, it is comparable for all analytes, testmaterials and analytical methods. In general, an absolute value of Z greater than three suggests poor performance in terms of accuracy. When overall performance in a specific interlaboratory test is graded as good, values of Z <1 would be very common and values of Z >3 would be very rare. It is possible to classify these scores: Satisfactory = Z 2 Questionable = 2 < Z < 3 Unsatisfactory = Z 3 Saw-tooth plot The results of the samples are presented in a so-called saw-tooth plot. In this figure individual results of two (nearly) identical individual results are plotted. The average of the sample, the 2s- and 3s-intervals of the target values (Horwitz plus uncertainty) and the 2s- and 3s-intervals after removal of outliers are also included (group s). Youden-plot Based on Youden statistics the calculated variance is split in a variance caused by systematic and random errors of the individual laboratories. It is necessary that the samples are similar. Generally the points form an elliptical pattern with the major axis of the ellipse running diagonally at an angle of 45 to the X-axis. The lengths of the perpendiculars drawn from the points to the 45 line are directly related to the random errors. Systematic errors will be presented along the 45 line. The perpendiculars intersect the 45 line at various distances from the point through which the 45 line was drawn. These distances are directly related to the systematic errors. page 8

The ratio of the sampling standard deviation and the target value σ for all solvents is lower than the recommended value of 0.3. Samples are regarded as sufficient homogeneous for the purpose of the proficiency study. S between = between samples standard deviation S within = within samples standard deviation σ = target value calculated from the Horwitz equation or assigned precision standard. page 10
