Labencor successfully participates in INTERCOMPARISON VW PV1200 for testing laboratories. 

Labencor has successfully concluded its participation in the intercomparison organized in Germany by DRRR (Deutsches Referenzbüro für Ringversuche und Referenzmaterialien GmbH) for the Alternative Climate Resistance Test according to the Volkswagen PV1200:2019 Standard in which 28 laboratories from different countries participated.

The applied statistic throws for Labencor a value of Z-Score of 0.38, obtaining the rating of:

excellent performance”

Which indicates the correct performance of Labencor as a corrosion testing laboratory for the test according to this standard VW PV1200:2019 and, encourages us to continue in the same line.

The purpose of intercomparisons is to assess the performance of laboratories on how they conduct their tests. Many laboratories work in isolation with the risk that laboratory data may have errors, bias or significant differences compared to similar laboratories.

Aptitude tests provide an opportunity to make such comparisons and to have an independent assessment of laboratory data compared with reference values (or other performance criteria) or with the performance of similar laboratories.

The results of such participation provide laboratories with confirmation that the laboratory’s performance is satisfactory or an alert that an investigation of potential problems within the laboratory is required.
