AGQM Round Robin Test Glycerol
Glycerol can be obtained with a purity of > 98%, for example as a by-product in biodiesel production. Glycerol is used worldwide as a pharmaceutical glycerol or in the food industry. But when is a glycerol good enough for this application and how can this be reliably determined?
Among other regulations, the European Pharmacopoeia are used for the analysis and quality control of glycerol. These and other selected standard methods are the basis for the round robin test glycerol.
As part of this round robin test, 34 parameters are queried, including parameters that are important for compliance with the specification as a food additive (E422) in accordance with Annex II of Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012.
Participating laboratories can compare their measurement competence with many other national and international laboratories as part of this round robin test. This instrument of quality assurance has proven to be an indispensable tool in everyday life for checking and improving one's own measurement performance and for identifying and eliminating possible errors in the method, on the device or in the implementation. After carrying out the round robin test, each laboratory receives an anonymized results report and a certificate of participation as proof of its own measurement competence.
Registration for the round robin test is possible until 15.11.2024 at http://rrt.agqm-biodiesel.com.
