Round Robin Test for Biodiesel and Rapeseed Oil Fuel 2017

Start of the annual round robin test of Association Quality Management Biodiesel e. V. (AGQM) and Mineral Oil and Fuels Standardization Committee (FAM).

Quality assurance in a producing company always includes the analyses of intermediates and the final product. To obtain reliable measuring results the measuring methods should be reviewed regularly. The participation in round robin tests is thereby an important instrument for laboratories to control and improve their own measuring competence and to identify handling, device or systematic errors.

Since 2008 AGQM and FAM once annually conduct their international round robin test on the analytical methods for biodiesel and rapeseed oil fuel. In the last years, laboratories from Germany, Europe, South America and Asia took part. All interested company, contract and research laboratories dealing with the analysis of biodiesel (acc. to EN 14214) and rapeseed oil fuel (acc. to EN 51605) are invited to participate in 2017 as well.

Interested laboratories can register until 07 April 2017 at http://rrt.agqm‑biodiesel.com.

More information about the round robin test are available on AGQM’s homepage or can be requested by e-mail (vasb@ntdz-ovbqvrfry.qr).
