Proficiency test for aflatoxin in pig feed

Proficiency testing is conducted to provide laboratories with a powerful tool to evaluate and demonstrate the reliability of the data that are produced. Next to validation and accreditation, proficiency testing is an important requirement of the EU Additional Measures Directive 93/99/EEC [1] and is required by ISO 17025:2005 [2]. The aim of this proficiency test was to give laboratories the possibility to evaluate or demonstrate their competence for the analysis of aflatoxins in pig feed.
