7 QUALITY OF THE MATERIALS The quality of the materials was verified for all the analysed parameters. The materials stability was checked thanks to the study of the participants results distribution in function of the declared treatment starting dates. Additionally, a control was led on the second batch (bottles C and D) by the subcontractor laboratory, in order to complete the stability evaluation. The homogeneity of the batches was evaluated through the study of the participants results. Like for the stability study, a complementary monitoring was carried out by the subcontractor laboratory for the second batch. These verifications have shown that the batches were stable and homogeneous enough for the implementation of proficiency testing: indeed, more than 95% of the mean square of the laboratories results dispersion (mean results per batch) corresponds to the variance of the laboratory component of the bias (according to ISO 575) ; while only less than 5% of the dispersion of one laboratory s results to an other (in terms of mean square) is potentially attributable to a lack of stability or homogeneity of the batch. DATA PROCESSING AND ANALYTICAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION The statistical evaluation of the data was performed according to the A and S algorithms described in the European standard ISO 135 (5) «Statistical methods for use in proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparisons». This data processing was carried out on all the participants results, besides the results such as «lower than the quantification limit». The analytical performances of the participants were evaluated according to the criteria specified within the PT-WFD, namely: - the assigned reference value to the item (m) is the mean of the results, calculated according to algorithm A from standard ISO 135; - the standard deviation for proficiency assessment is set in comparison to the assigned reference value: SDPA =.5 m. z-scores are calculated according to: In which: ( x m) z = SDPA x= mean result of the laboratory m = assigned reference value to the item (algorithm A) SDPA =.5 m The evaluation of the results depends on the following criteria: z. Satisfactory result. < z < 3. Questionable result z 3. Unsatisfactory result Proficiency testing scheme report PTWFD - SCCPs Written the th May 11 page 7/15

APPROACH OF THE TRUENESS The following table compares the spiked value with the mean value observed by the participants, accounting for the confidence interval of both quantities. Note: the uncertainty on the spiked value was calculated according to the standard ENV 135 : 1999 (Guide To The Expression Of Uncertainty In Measurement) with a coverage factor k =. The expanded uncertainty on the value observed by the participants is equal to: S Z U = ± t 1. 5 in which: 95%,( p 1) p - p is the number of laboratories who returned a result - t is the fractile of the Student s t-distribution, with α=5% and p-1 freedom degrees 95%,( p 1 ) - Sz is the standard deviation resulting from the algorithm A.

In order to verify if there were any laboratories that have found the spiked in the 3 batches, we calculated the sum of squared z-scores determined in relation to the spiked (SSz). Proficiency testing scheme report PTWFD - SCCPs Written the th May 11 page /15
11 For each laboratory: SSz = (z sc1 )²+ (z sc )²+ (z sc3 )² In which: ( x sc) Z sc1 = 1 SDPA and: ( x sc) z sc = SDPA ( x sc) z sc3 = 3 SDPA x 1 : laboratory s mean result for batch 1 x : laboratory s mean result for batch x 3 : laboratory s mean result for batch 3 sc: spiked (identical for the 3 batches) SDPA =.5 m The SSz are following a chi-square distribution with 3 freedom degrees and can be interpreted in the following way: - if SSz 7.1 : satisfactory; - if 7.1< SSz 11.3 : questionable; - if SSz > 11.3 : unsatisfactory. The higher SSz is, the further the laboratory s results are from the spiked. The laboratory with the smallest deviation in comparison to the spiked s for the 3 batches is then the laboratory (see following table). Laboratory code SSz Laboratory code SSz Proficiency testing scheme report PTWFD - SCCPs Written the th May 11 page 11/15
12 DEVIATIONS BETWEEN ANALYTICAL MODALITIES The data processing was not disrupted by potential deviations due to the analytical modalities (there were no multiple populations of results). For each batch, we studied the laboratories results distribution depending on the used analytical modalities (see enclosed plots). This study did not show deviations between analytical modalities. Let us remind that we must be very cautious towards the interpretation of the discrepancies we might observe on these plots. Indeed: - on the one hand, these disparities would be sporadic observations, that could not be reasonably generalised without confirmation; - on the other hand, interlaboratory proficiency testing are not expressly designed for analytical modalities effect measurement. As a result, the comparison statistical tests are not always powerful enough, and there is a high risk of confusion between the studied factor and another unidentified hidden factor (and then a risk to lend the effect erroneously). However, on this testing s data, we can observe that: - on the batch (spiked with a 55.5% chlorine content chloroalkanes mix), the results of the laboratories using a calibration with 3 different chlorine contents are distinguished from the other laboratories results by a visibly lesser dispersion; - the results obtained without purification appear more scattered than the ones acquired after purification. COMMENTS AND CONCLUSION The dispersion of the participants results is quite high, with reproducibilities stated in variation coefficients, going from 9.5% to %. As a result, there was a very high number of unsatisfactory z- scores, considering the mode of calculation of the standard deviation for the proficiency evaluation, which is equal to 5% of the assigned value to the item. It appears that this dispersion is less important for the sample batch spiked with a 55.5% chlorine content in C -C 13 chloroalkanes mix. We can also note that this chlorine content was the most used during calibrations (see the chlorine contents distribution plot). To note as well that the uncertainty on the consensus value is high due to the important dispersion of the results. Finally, Mr Matthew Whetton, from LGC, pointed out that the deviation from the spiked varied with the samples chlorine content. The general tendency being that the spiked is best found when the chlorine content increases. However, it seems that the recovery rates evolution varies depending on the participants. Some laboratories show a recovery rate independent from the chlorine content, or even find a closer result from the spiked when the chlorine content is lower. In order to clarify these observations we classified the laboratories depending on the deviations from the spiked s they obtained on the 3 batches. We then have been able to identify 5 categories of laboratories. Proficiency testing scheme report PTWFD - SCCPs Written the th May 11 page 1/15
13 The first class includes two laboratories that observe particularly high values on the third batch. The second class comprises the laboratories with much lower values than the spiked s, no matter the chlorine content. The third and fourth classes associate the laboratories that have a tendency to get closer from the spiked as the chlorine content increases. The laboratories from the class n 3 detect on average higher values; and the one from the class n find very close values from the spiked for the third batch (3% chlorine content). Finally, the fifth class brings together the laboratories that have an almost constant deviation from the spiked (deviation between % and -5%) on all of the three batches. Some of these laboratories show their apparent recovery decreasing on the third batch.

14 We then verified if this laboratories classification could be explained by the analytical modalities used by the participants (analytical line and number of standards). It seems that this is not the case. Indeed, each class brings together laboratories that employed different analytical modalities, as seen in the following table.

Dr Geiß pointed out that during the tests made for the standard development they also observed higher results when the chlorine contents were higher. However, the increase of the C -C 13 chloroalkanes contents depending on the samples chlorine content stayed negligible considering the measurement error. Proficiency testing scheme report PTWFD - SCCPs Written the th May 11 page 1/15
15 She also mentioned the very low recovery rate (about 5%) they obtained with the calibration standard Ehrenstorfer «SCCP C to C 13, 51.5% Chlorine content», standard that we also used to spike our samples and for which the mean recovery rate observed during the testing is 57%. For the next proficiency testing, we will then consider to spike our samples with different standards. Finally, we are also envisaging to target lower levels.
