Participation in this interlaboratory comparison is free.

Test materials and analytes

The test material to be analysed is a grape mixture. Each participant will receive 2 samples, one spiked with the covered pesticides and one blank sample. The measurands are the pesticides Azoxystrobin, Carbendazim, Chlorpyrifos, Cyprodinil, Difenoconazole, Fenhexamid, Fludioxonil, Imidacloprid, Indoxacarb, Iprodione, Kresoxim-Methyl, Methoxyfenozide, Myclobutanil, Penconazole, Pyraclostrobin, Pyrimethanil, Quinoxyfen, Tebuconazole, Triadimenol and λ-Cyhalothrin in grapes.
