INTERLABORATORY STUDIES

The organisation and initiation of interlaboratory studies is part of the regular activities of the NORMAN network. Three inter-laboratory exercises (NORMAN Case Studies) were undertaken during the course of the NORMAN project. Based on the identification of needs for specific emerging substances, the NORMAN permanent network will encourage Proficiency Testing (PT) providers and / or partners of the network to organise and conduct such exercises.
