Proficiency testing scheme

The Environment Agency Austria offers proficiency tests in several matrices every year. In 2024 proficiency tests for waste eluates (eluate metals, eluate ions), ambient air (activated charcoal tubes) and NEW: PFAS in soil samples will be performed (for further details see documents for download below).

In 2025 proficiency testing for solid waste (total contents) will be offered.
