25 What is a good result? % Recovery close to 100% with a small variation between the four sample results (= your method is under control) Vi (variation between the replicates) element analyzer (measurement without extra sample preparation) < 3% Macro elements (P, K, Ca, Mg, K) < 5% Micro elements and heavy metals < 10% Trace elements < 20%
26 Reasons for Re-Qualification after the 18 th Needle/Leaf Ringtest Technical problem / no servicing of the instrument (5 labs) Calibration error (one lab) Methodical problem / method changed (one lab) Missed data submission deadline or got no samples (one lab) No dry matter correction (one lab)
27 Re-Qualification after the 19th Needle/Leaf Ringtest Is mandatory for all ICP-Forests laboratories if they plan to: Submit monitoring results from the sampling period 2016/17 to the PCC database ( growing saison 2016) Deadline 1 st September 2017
28 Re-Qualification Use in all communications your lab code number Use in any case the xls-form for your requalification: Submit all printouts. calibration. dilution factors. (= I should be able to recalculate your results!) What was the reason (or your opinion) for missing the qualification? Think on measures to avoid errors in future!
