In the period September 25-28, 2023, the Head of Accredited PROVIDER at “INTERPROJECT” Ltd had the opportunity to attend a PT Workshop organized by Eurachem in cooperation with CITAC and EQALM.

10th Workshop on Proficiency Testing in Analytical Chemistry, Microbiology and Laboratory Medicine, over 200 delegates from over 45 countries are attending. It was great to have the PT community meeting in Windsor, UK- along with informative training courses, lectures, short communications, poster sessions and working group discussions.

Its mission was to provide a forum within the world chemical measurement community for pursuing excellence in the development and implementation of proficiency testing.  

An interesting workshop considering that the proficiency testing is one of the essential requirements of the ISO 17025 and ISO 15189.

Training programs and programs for interlaboratory comparisons for 2023

 

Dear Heads of Laboratories, Inspection Bodies, Organizations,

Due to receiving multiple requests about the upcoming trainings and education courses of general and specialized nature this year, The licensed vocational training center/ LVTC (License No. 2015121223 of NAVO/ 01.07.2015),  inform you that,

“TRAINING AND EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR LABORATORIES, INSPECTION BODIES AND ORGANIZATIONS FOR 2023 is uploaded to our website.

The program contains information about the conduct of 50 trainings/educations in Sofia and Varna in 2023.

You have the opportunity to plan your training programs during the current year.

In 2021 – 2022, 15 new guides of ILAC, EA, EURACHEM and other international organizations were approved, which will be discussed and explained in detail in the lectures on the individual courses of the program.

We pay special attention to the new tоpics:

• Implementation of the requirements of the new ILAC-G24: 2022 “Instructions for determining the calibration intervals of the measuring instruments” concerning the clarification of the scope and the determination of recalibration intervals of measuring equipment.

The specified requirements are considered in detail in courses with numbers 04/2023, 10/2023, 16/2023, 17/2023, 24/2023, 31/2023, 33/2023, 35/2023. The changes are discussed also in courses with numbers 01/2023, 09/2023, 19/2023, 28/2023.

The new requirements lead to changes in the procedures for managing technical means.

  • Implementation of new requirements acording to EN ISO 16140-3:2021 “Microbiology of the food chain – Method validation – Part 3: Protocol for the verification of reference methods and validated alternative methods in a single laboratory (ISO 16140-3:2021)”.

The standard will be discussed from Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rositsa Enikova in two courses 07/2023 and 14/2023 in Sofia. This document specifies the protocol for the verification of reference methods and validated alternative methods for implementation in the user laboratory.
This document is applicable to the verification of methods used for the analysis (detection and/or quantification), confirmation and typing of microorganisms in:

– products intended for human consumption;

– products intended for animal feeding;

– environmental samples in the area of food and feed production, handling;

– samples from the primary production stage.

This document is, in particular, applicable to bacteria and fungi. Some clauses can be applicable to other (micro)organisms or their metabolites, to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
The technical protocols for the verification of validated qualitative methods and validated quantitative methods are described in Clauses 5 and 6. The technical protocol for the verification of validated alternative confirmation and typing methods is described in Clause 7. The protocols for the verification of non-validated reference methods are described in Annex F.

Different courses comment on the new standards guides and projects, including some EA-4/02M: 2022 discussion positions: EA-4/18G:2021, EA-4/09G:2022, ILAC-P14:09/2020, ILAC-G17:01/2021, ILAC G27: 07/2019 and other NTDs concerning quantitative and quality methods.
