Interlaboratory Comparison on Dioxins in Food 2003

The fourth round of the interlaboratory comparison on the determination of PCDDs, PCDFs and dioxin-like PCBs in three food items was conducted in 2003. The objectives were to assess the in-between laboratory reproducibility, to offer a quality assurance instrument for the participating laboratories, and to assess the readiness of expert laboratories world-wide to determine low levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in food.
