30、key and the United Kingdom. DIN EN 16101:2012-12 EN 16101:2012 (E) 4 Introduction SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Safety issues are paramount when surveying surface waters. Surveyors should conform to EU and national Health and Safety legislation and any additional guidelines appropriate for working in or near w
31、ater. The importance of data quality in ecological results is explicit in highlighted in several EU Directives. For example the EC Water Framework Directive (WFD 2000/60/EC), Annex V, Clause 1.3.4. “Estimates of the confidence and precision attained by the monitoring system used shall be stated in t
32、he river basin monitoring plan.“ This means that ecological data from aquatic environments should be of a known and verifiable quality. This European dimension drives regulatory agencies, research bodies, universities and contractors working across Europe to become increasingly involved in ensuring
33、that the data produced from laboratory and field analyses is comparable and fit for purpose. Ecological assessment techniques involve both a field and a laboratory component; each of these needs to be scientifically robust. Implementation of interlaboratory comparison studies falls into two broad ca
34、tegories; interlaboratory tests designed to demonstrate comparability of data produced by laboratories which are working independently or in separate geographical regions 1 and routine procedures implemented by the laboratories as part of their operational methods. Existing systems of interlaborator
35、y comparison are generally not well developed for ecological assessments. By their nature the techniques used should be specific to the organism group and may not be readily transferable to other applications. This standard provides general guidance on the design of such systems. DIN EN 16101:2012-1
36、2 EN 16101:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard provides guidance on interlaboratory comparison with a special focus on biological methods. Guidance on the methods and procedures given in this standard should ensure that field survey results and laboratory analyses are comparable within specifi
37、ed limits. This guidance enables participants in interlaboratory comparison to demonstrate their level of performance. In addition it provides a mechanism for quality improvement. This standard describes a general course of the procedure. Detailed elements can be found in EN 14996, EN ISO/IEC 17000,
38、 EN ISO/IEC 17025, and EN ISO/IEC 17043. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 assigned value value attributed to a particular property of a proficiency test item Note 1 to entry: ISO 13528:2005, 3.3, refers to this term as Value at
39、tributed to a particular quantity and accepted, sometimes by convention, as having an uncertainty appropriate for a given purpose. SOURCE: EN ISO/IEC 17043:2010, 3.1, modified Note 1 to entry has been added 2.2 interlaboratory comparison organisation, performance and evaluation of measurements or te
40、sts on the same or similar items by two or more laboratories in accordance with predetermined conditions Note 1 to entry: ISO 13528:2005, 3.1, refers to this term as organisation, performance and evaluation of tests on the same or similar test items by two or more laboratories in accordance with pre
41、determined conditions. Note 2 to entry: The data under test may be qualitative, quantitative, continuous or discrete, and derived from laboratory analysis or field survey. SOURCE: EN ISO/IEC 17043:2010, 3.4, modified Note 1 and 2 to entry have been added 2.3 participant laboratory, organisation or i
42、ndividual that receives proficiency test items and submits results for review by the proficiency testing provider Note 1 to entry: In case of testing field survey methods, e.g. assessing hydro-morphological characteristics of water bodies, test items can by river stretches or lake shore length selec
43、ted for survey by the participant. SOURCE: EN ISO/IEC 17043:2010, 3.6, modified Note 1 to entry has been added 2.4 proficiency testing evaluation of participant performance against pre-established criteria by means of interlaboratory comparisons Note 1 to entry: For the purposes of this Internationa
44、l Standard, the term “proficiency testing” is taken in its widest sense and includes, but is not limited to: a) quantitative scheme where the objective is to quantify one or more measurands of the proficiency test item; b) qualitative scheme where the objective is to identify or describe one or more
45、 characteristics of the proficiency test item; DIN EN 16101:2012-12 EN 16101:2012 (E) 6 c) sequential scheme where one or more proficiency test items are distributed sequentially for testing or measurement and returned to the proficiency testing provider at intervals; d) simultaneous scheme where pr
46、oficiency test items are distributed for concurrent testing or measurement within a defined time period; e) single occasion exercise where proficiency test items are provided on a single occasion; f) continuous scheme where proficiency test items are provided at regular intervals; g) sampling where
47、samples are taken for subsequent analysis; and h) data transformation and interpretation where sets of data or other information are furnished and the information is processed to provide an interpretation (or other outcome). Note 2 to entry: Some providers of proficiency testing in the medical area
48、use the term “External Quality Assessment (EQA)” for their proficiency testing schemes, or for their broader programs, or both (see Annex A). The requirements of this International Standard cover only those EQA activities that meet the definition of proficiency testing. Note 3 to entry: ISO 13528:2005, 3.2, refers to this term as determination of laboratory testing performance by means of interlaboratory comparisons. SOURCE: EN ISO/IEC 17043:2010, 3.7
