New Proficiency Testing Programme 2027 – now available

We are pleased to present our new Proficiency Testing Programme 2027.

At the same time, we are delighted to announce the successful transition of our accreditation to ISO/IEC 17043:2023 in March 2026.
In the course of this transition, the scope of our accreditation was expanded to include allergen proficiency testing for feed materials and environmental samples such as Allergen Swabs and Rinsing Water.

Our 2027 programme also includes new parameters in the fields of GMOs and Mycotoxins, a new PT round for the determination of Water Activity (aW) in Feed,
and a new PT scheme addressing Intentional Adulteration and Allergen Contamination of pure hazelnut and pistachio paste, including potential contamination and adulteration with almonds, cashew nuts and/or peanuts.

With these additions, we are further expanding our PT portfolio in the areas of Allergens, Authenticity, GMOs  and Feed Testing.
Discover our Proficiency Testing Programme 2027 and register for your preferred PT schemes.

You can download our annual PDF Programme for 2027 here and send us your registration by email or register directly via our webshop.
