The Italian National Reference Laboratory (NRL) for pesticide residues annually organizes Proficiency Test (PT) for the determination of pesticide residues in olive oil. European laboratories (NRLs, official laboratories and private laboratories) especially Italian official laboratories involved in the National and European monitoring programs participate in these PTs. This participation is mandatory as set out by the ISO/IEC 17025 and verified by accreditation bodies. The main aim of these PTs is to compare the performances of European laboratories, involved in the analysis of pesticide residues in olive oil, to promote mutual acceptance of pesticide residue data regarding the analytical controls on olive oil. In this paper, two PTs of pesticide residues in olive oil named COIPT-17 and COIPT-18 are described and a comparison of their respective results is analysed.
