Situation• European harmonization demands comparability• No traceability structure in this sector• Well-organized PT systems→ Links between PT systems and national metrological stan-

dards would improve traceability system

Matrix content from standard addition procedure

• Robust consensus means vs. the spiked amounts (example: Cu)• Matrix content is given by the absolute value of the x-axis

intercept• Uncertainty of the matrix content can be calculated from ge-

neralised least square regression [see ref.]

Possibilities to estimate the true value

1st PT round• Organized by the Institute of Public Health (LÖGD) in North-

rhine-Westfalia in cooperation with IWW Water Centre• Analysis of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb in drinking water• Result for one Cu sample as an example:

Conclusions and outlook• Reference measurements using primary methods are limited

to only a few relevant parameters and are very time-consu-ming and expensive

• Reference values can be calculated that are at least trace-able to some extend, as long as the matrix content is low compared to the spike

• This method will be used regularly in the PT rounds of AQS Baden-Württemberg to gather more experience

• More problems are expected for organic analytes

2nd PT round• Organized by “AQS Baden-Württemberg“, PT provider at the

Universität Stuttgart• Analysis of Sb, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and CrVI in drinking water• Result for one Cu sample as an example:

Traceability• Reference measurements are traceable• Consensus mean is not traceable• Formulation values are traceable, provided that the purity of

the raw chemical is traceable• Additional uncertainty from matrix determination does not

„destroy“ this traceability

• Consensus mean lower than reference measure-ment

• Matrix determination by PT provider not reliable enough (very low values)

• Sum of matrix values from standard addition procedure and formula-tion in good aggreement with reference measure-ments

• Uncertainties partially not available at this stage of the project

• Again consensus mean lower than reference measurement

• Matrix determination by PT provider was not performed (very low values)

• Sum of matrix values from standard addition procedu-re and formulation in good aggreement with reference measurements

• Uncertainties overlap for re-ference measurement and standard addition/formulati-on values
