Abstract

Performance by participants in a large proficiency test in the food analysis sector is quantified as a function of concentration of the analyte and compared with the performance criteria used by the scheme provider to define fitness for purpose. The performance was found to fall short of the specification by only a small amount, evenly over the whole concentration range.
