Reporting

Participants are required to report the composition and an estimate of the uncertainty and some physical properties of the gas where appropriate using on-line reporting software.

Evaluation

Evaluation will be using ILAC G13 approved methods including En ratio and Z scores.

Confidentiality

As mandated by ILAC G13 and ISO 17043, all data including participants and performance will be kept strictly confidential.  Only the submitting laboratory will receive feedback on their performance.  Performance data will be reported to the whole group anonymously.
