Links to other Documents

Contents: This list of publications concerning PT/EQA has been compiled by the EURACHEM Proficiency Testing Working Group (EPTWG). For the first time a listing of such publications is available from a single source. This document is not exhaustive and will require regular updating. References from 1996 have been included and are listed alphabetically, by the first author, for each year. The listing will be updated on an annual basis.

Please send any additional references, in the same format as those listed, to: Piotr Robouch
