    1. Summary

    The test material for Round T-18 consisted of fish soup in which Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu,and Fe were available for analysis. The participants were instructed to report theresults on fresh weight basis.

    The assigned values (xa) were derived from Robust statistics, with the exceptionof Fe for which Kernel density was used. The target value ( p) for the standarddeviation was based on the Horwitz equation

    Pb xa = 0,057 mg/kg p = 0,013 mg/kg Cd xa = 0,010 mg/kg p = 0,002 mg/kg Cr xa = 0,099 mg/kg p = 0,022 mg/kg Cu xa = 8,06 mg/kg p = 0,94 mg/kg Fe xa = 12,0 mg/kg p = 1,32 mg/kg

    2. Introduction

    Proficiency testing (PT) is an integrated part of the analytical quality assuranceprocess, and is the only means by which a laboratory can have its competenceindependently tested. It is a requirement of ISO 17025 [1] that laboratoriestake part in PT if a suitable scheme is available. The z-score procedure forevaluation of results gives the participants a tool which helps to understand the

    results.The Swedish National Food Administration (NFA) has been a PT-provider for trace elements in food since 1997. It is now arranging round T-18using fish soup as test material of the Proficiency Testing - Trace Elements inFood.

    The programme is in accordance with the International Harmonised Protocol[2] and and is accredited according to ISO Guide 43-1 [3] and ISO 17025 [1]since 2004. Further information on policy, organisation and statistics can befound in the protocol for the NFA Food Chemistry programmes [4].

    Those responsible for the programme are:Lars Jorhem, coordinatorJoakim Engman, responsible for the statistical evaluationChristina strand, secretary

    The 24 laboratories participating in round T-18 are listed in appendix 3.

    3. Test material

    The test material consisted of fish soup preserved in 30 ml plastic vials, afresh material containing a normal amount of water.

    3.1 Test for homogeneity

    The homogeneity testing was carried out at the NFA. After stratifying, tensample containers were randomly selected, one from each stratum andanalysed in duplicate. The samples were microwave-digested under pressureand the metals determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Lead andcadmium was checked for homogeneity according to the procedure describedin [2]. Chromium, copper and iron were checked using the same method, butwhich is not accredited for these elements. The data was checked for extremedifferences within bottle by Cochran outlier test. If an outlier was detected it was marked with aC in Tables 1 - 2 and not used in further calculations. Theanalytical and sampling variances were estimated by one-way ANOVA. Thefollowing parameters were calculated:

    Mean and number of used results (n)san = Analytical standard deviationssam2 = Sampling variancesall2 = Allowable sampling variance, based on the target standard

    deviationCritical = Critical value based on allowable and analytical varianceSuff. Homog. = Sufficient homogeneity is achieved if ssam2 < CriticalTarget p = Target standard deviation predicted according to the Horwitz

    equationRatio san2 / p2 = Analytical precision compared to target should be

    4 Instructions to participants

    The participants were recommended to use their standard method, and wereasked to report one result per metal and to give the results with threesignificant figures on fresh weight basis. Furthermore, the participants wereinstructed to report the actual found value, even when being below the Limitof. Detection (LOD).

    The participants were also asked to provide information about the analyticalmethods used. Method parameters are reported in appendix 1. Methods thatare accompanied by a reference are are listed in appendix 2.

    5. Statistical evaluation

    The assigned value (xa) is the best available estimate of the measurand. This maybe established in two ways: using the mode of kernel density, or using the robustmean after removal of non-valid values according to [2]. The procedure describedbelow will generally be used. In some cases other statistical methods may be usedif considered necessary.

    Step 1: Kernel densityKernel density plots can be used to estimate the mode of a distribution. It isespecially useful for strongly tailing distributions or in cases of multi modality.The Kernel density is a computer-intensive method, which involves smoothing thedata while retaining the overall structure. The kernel plot and the graph of theoverall dispersion of the results are presented to facilitate the visual inspection of the distribution of the results, and do not necessarily contain all results. A mainadvantage is that the plot gives a graphical view of the results that can be easilyunderstood.

    The kernel density plot is examined and classified according to the different casesbelow:

    Case A . If the kernel density plot shows a near normal distribution the robustmean is used, see step 2.

    Case B . If the distribution is tailing the mode of the kernel density is used asassigned value.

    Case C . If the distribution shows several modes great consideration should begiven to how to set the assigned value. In some cases there may be arguments infavour of choosing one of the modes. In other cases it may be inappropriate to setan assigned value at all. In these cases consultation with the technical advisorygroup can be needed.

    Step 2: Use of robust statistics ( Case A in step 1)The robust statistic approach changes the emphasis from outlier detection andrejection, to outlier accommodation. It is a convenient modern method of handlingresults when they are expected to follow a near-normal distribution and it issuspected that they include a small proportion of outliers. Clearly outlying resultsmay be excluded before calculation. An exclusion of results outside of 50 % of the median has been used.

    In this round the distribution for Pb, Cd, Cr and Cu were considered to be Case A,and the robust mean, which was calculated after outlier elimination, was used asthe assigned value (xa). Iron was considered to be Case B. The target value for thestandard deviation ( p) was calculated using the Horwitz equation.

    Results reported as being below LOD (

    5.1 Z-scores

    The individual laboratory performance is expressed in the form of a z-score.Since the z-score is standardised, it can be compared independently of the test-material, the method of analysis, and the concentration of the analyte. The Z-score is given by the following equation:

    z = (x-xa) / where:x = reported value of analyte concentration in the test materialxa = assigned value (true value) = target value for the standard deviation

    The results are usually ranked according to the following model:

    |z|2 the result is satisfactory2< |z|
