Body

The reuse of treated wastewater (REUSE) is still underdeveloped but appears to be a solution for improving quantitative water management. Nevertheless, there is a health risk associated with REUSE even when wastewater is very well treated, mainly due to residual microbiological pollution.
Besides, as part of your accreditation, participation in interlaboratory tests for Salmonella detection may be requested per matrix (fresh waters, waste waters, saline waters).
In this context, AGLAE invites you to participate in an interlaboratory test where the ability to detect Salmonella in waste water (programme 37A) and another one in saline waters (programme 37B) will be assessed.

Following its success in 2025, AGLAE provides again 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 9 metals with DGT samplers (CHELEX chelating resin).

Check the DGT flyer for more information (DGTs sent on May, 4th 2026).

To participate in this test, register promptly. Limited number of participants

- In fresh waters and waste waters (programmes 59 "Perfluorinated compounds in fresh waters" and 59A "Perfluorinated compounds in waste waters") : 9 PFAS and 2 US PFAS are added to the PFAS already provided in order to meet the requirements of the Water-Framework Directive. For each PFAS (except TFA and TFMS), participants will be able to report results for the linear isomers but also for the sum of linear and branched isomers.

- In sediments and soil: new programmes 48 "Perfluorinated compounds in solid matrices" with the quantification of 21 PFAS

Quality Control Materials

aglae Mon, 02/02/2026 - 16:08

Contenu

These are materials coming from proficiency testing regarding chemistry in solid matrices (sludges, sediments, sites and soils) for your daily quality control.

They are provided with a certificate (includes a summary of the assigned values and their uncertainties obtained during the test).

These materials can be used in the frame of the monitoring and improvement of laboratories' analytical performance, especially for:

internal quality control
follow up of corrective actions (in particular in case of unsatisfactory results during a test)
the validation of methods
the support for staff training

Any member of the Association can buy these materials at any time during the year, whether the lab participated or not in the proficiency tests where the material comes from. Test materials are available once the test report is issued.

Check the Eurachem information leaflet about the use of surplus proficiency test items.

Additional proficiency test samples

Contenu

Laboratories participating in our intercomparisons can receive more test samples for a limited cost, in order to evaluate a technician, test a new method…

Principle:

In addition to the sample distribution, laboratories receive one or several additional interlaboratory test samples
They analyse their test samples and report the results of the proficiency test
For the additional test samples, results are interpreted by the laboratories

The list of available additional test samples and associated fees can be found in the section 'Downloads / Catalogues' from the member area of each laboratory registered for the proficiency tests.

Should you be interested in such test samples, contact us.
