| Abstract |
The AQUA (Analytical Quality Assurance) isocyanate scheme is linked to a specific analytical method, MDHS 25 (Organic isocyanates in air: laboratory method using 1-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine solution and high performance liquid chromatograph, see CIS 84-1618). Results from the first 4 years of the scheme's operation are reviewed and individual laboratory performance indices assessed against the mean interlaboratory performance indices. Most of the laboratories in the scheme show a marked improvement with time, which in some instances has followed help and advice form the HSE. There has also been an overall reduction of interlaboratory variability over this period. |
