Excellent result in undercover ring test

Primoris takes part in numerous national and international ring tests, as it is part of our strict policy regarding quality assurance. Undercover ring tests are an important part of these tests. In this case, we don’t know that the received sample is in fact part of a ring test. Recently, Primoris took part in an undercover ring test, organised by Relana and SKAL on organic flaxseed. Primoris is a member of Relana® is certified by SKAL :

• SKAL is the Dutch certification body for the organic sector
• Relana® stands for reliable analysis and is the quality circle of laboratories in the field of pesticide and contaminant analysis
  

Of all participating labs Primoris was the only participant that was able to detect and successfully quantify the spiked pesticides. 3 Dutch labs and 1 Belgian lab, Primoris, participated in the test.

You find the detailed results in the table on the right and details about the findings in the table below.

This excellent result confirms the high level of reliability we pursue in our activities and reinforces our image as reliable specialist for residue analyses of pesticides and contaminants.
