AGLAE provides laboratories with an interlaboratory test regarding the use of Integrative Passive Samplers for the monitoring of metals in fresh waters.
In the frame if this proficiency test, laboratories will be assessed for the measurement of 4 metals (Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) with DGT samplers (CHELEX chelating resin).
Check the DGT flyer for more information.
To participate in this test, register by 30 July 2025.
Body
You may register at any time during the year as long as registration deadlines are not over.
For a first participation, please complete the form on the Contact page to get a quote.

Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF) are derived from the recovery of non-hazardous waste that can be converted into energy by incineration.
According to regulations relating to installations for the production of heat and/or electricity from SRF, operators must ensure the conformity of the fuels.
As part of this interlaboratory comparison, participants are assessed on the calorific value and moisture content of Solid Recovered Fuels.
Register promptly as test materials are in limited quantities.
Find more information on the page PTs in solid matrices.

AGLAE conducts an interlaboratory comparison on cosmetic product: "challenge test".
During this accredited challenge test, laboratories perform preservation efficacy tests.
Two other tests are provided for the enumeration of aerobic mesophilic bacteria and yeasts/moulds and the detection of specified micro-organisms.
These tests provide laboratories with an assessment of their performance and guidelines for improvements if necessary.

You are an industrial company in the building or construction sector, or a laboratory providing services to industrial companies for the characterisation of their materials or waste treatment. Your materials or waste are tested.
AGLAE provides you with interlaboratory comparisons in various solid materials (sediments, sludges, polluted soils and sites, industrial waste, bituminous waste, solid fuel products).
Materials testing in your laboratory
Contenu
This may involve analyses of :
- natural materials such as soils, sands, clays, minerals or
- building materials, including cement, concrete, bitumen, coatings, etc.
The most commonly tested materials are: cements, clinkers, ashes, additives, aggregates, soils, sediments and building stones.
You carry out material characterisation tests, i.e. you assess the physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical and magnetic properties of materials. Knowing their characteristics enables you to ensure their conformity and control the risks of possible failures (cracks, breakage, corrosion, etc.).
As far as physico-chemical tests are concerned, chloride and sulphate measurements are carried out on concrete and cement, as well as sulphur and organic pollutant analyses on aggregates. Granulometry is carried out on concrete.
Your expectations in terms of Quality Control
Contenu
The EU environmental policy is largely determined by its implementation at national, regional and local levels. In France, each company is responsible for the waste it produces and/or holds until it is eliminated. Waste elimination involves the collection, transport, storage, sorting and treatment required to recover reusable elements and materials or energy, as well as disposal or discharge into the natural environment. Waste must be characterised.
Depending on the category, the operators responsible for processing the waste are required to hold an authorisation.
Which proficiency tests could be of interest to you?
Contenu
This category of interlaboratory comparisons may be of interest to you:
Chemical pollutants in waste, sediments, soils, granulometry (see Chemistry in solid matrices)
By taking part in these interlaboratory comparisons, you will receive an estimate of your analytical performance, enabling you to improve the quality of your analyses of materials and waste.
Body
AGLAE provides you with proficiency tests on ‘PAHs in bituminous waste'.
Your laboratory is assessed for the quantitative determination of 16 PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) and C10-C21 and C10-C40 total hydrocarbon indexes in bituminous waste.
Find all information on the page PTs in solid matrices.
Body
In the frame of this proficiency test, each laboratory enumerates, according to ISO 14189, vegetative cells and spores of Clostridium perfringens by membrane filtration in samples of water aimed at human consumption.
