FAPAS®FoodTestingProgram*
Laboratories testing food quality and safety are encouraged to
routinely perform proficiency tests. Proficiency testing is an
external check of quality. It provides an independent and unbi-
ased assessment of the performance of all aspects of the labora-
tory,bothhumanandhardware.Eachparticipating laboratory is
encouraged to use its normal analytical method, thereby simu-
lating the testingof a routine laboratory sampleascloselyaspos-
sible. While the outcome of the analysis may depend on the
choiceofmethod, it alsocouldbeaffectedby theperformanceof
the laboratory equipment or the competence of the analyst.
Usingproficiency testing, those laboratoriesperformingwell can
ensure high standards are maintained and those performing
unsatisfactorily can implement corrective action rapidly. In an
environment inwhichanalytical laboratories compete intensive-
ly for work, proficiency testing provides the means by which
external customers can compare competence in carrying out
specific tests.Togetherwith laboratory accreditation and theuse
of validatedmethods,proficiency tests arean important require-
mentof theEUAdditionalMeasuresDirective93/99/EECapply-
ing to laboratories entrustedwith the official control of food.

is a “consensus”or “referee”method used among plasticmanu-
facturers and the pharmaceutical companies that purchase plas-
tic containers. Plastic container manufacturers use this test to
ensure the quality of their product to their pharmaceutical
customers. Pharmaceutical companies also specify this test and
provide their own lists of target compounds and concentration
limits inpurchase agreements.
This test calls for isopropanol extraction,HPLC separation, and
UV detection. Restek offers a variety of reversed phase HPLC
columns suitable for these separations. Restek also designed an
analytical referencematerial to validate this method. This mix-
ture contains the commonantioxidants and slips listed inASTM
D6042-96, alongwithBHT.
