520 3 |a Participation in interlaboratory comparisons is a requirement of the accreditation bodies for granting laboratory accreditation by EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 as external quality control. Proficiency testing (PT) is used to demonstrate the individual performance of a laboratory for a specific test or measurement. Monitoring PT performance over time shows the continuing performance and allows the identification of potential problems related to random and systematic errors. In this study, it is shown that the procedures applied to measure mass fractions of moisture, ash and volatile matter in solid fuels fulfill the conditions stated in the European standards EN 14774-3, EN 14775 and EN 15148:2009 regarding target uncertainty, repeatability and reproducibility. Repeatability was assessed from sample duplicate analysis and combined standard uncertainty. Limits of detection and quantification were also estimated although no target values are stated. The obtained values fulfill the requirements for specifications and classes of solid biofuels. Laboratory performance over the time from 2011 to 2013 regarding such measurements was evaluated with 18 materials provided by WEPAL within the BIMEP program. Apart from monitoring the individual z-scores, their sequence was checked with summarizing parameters including the ‘rescaled sum z-scores', RSZ, the ‘sum squared z-scores', SSZ, and J-scores. For none of the analytes, the parameters indicated a trend over time and therefore it was not necessary to trigger any investigation or correcting procedure.
