7 1 Introduction Pro est SYKE carried out the pro!ciency test (PT) for analysis of a chlorophyll, colour, conductivity, nutrients (ammonium nitrogen, nitrate+nitrite nitrogen, total nitrogen, phosphate phosphorus, total phosphorus), ph and turbidity in surface and coastal waters in February 13. A total of 44 laboratories participated in the PT. In the PT the results of Finnish laboratories providing environmental data for Finnish environmental authorities were evaluated. Additionally, other water and environmental laboratories were welcomed in the pro!ciency test. "e test was carried out in accordance with the international guidelines, ISO/IEC [1], ISO 1328 [2] and IUPAC Technical Report [3]. "e SYKE laboratory has been accredited by the Finnish Accreditation Service as a pro!ciency testing provider (PT01, ISO/IEC 17043, SYKE is the accredited pro!ciency test provider on the!eld of the present test. 2 Organizing the pro ciency test 2.1 Responsibilities Organizing laboratory: Pro est SYKE, Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE), Laboratory Centre, Hakuninmaantie 6, 004 Helsinki, Finland, Phone: +38 6#123, Fax: "e responsibilities in organizing the pro!ciency test were as follows: Kaija Korhonen-Ylönen, coordinator Mirja Leivuori, substitute of coordinator Keijo Tervonen, technical assistant Sari Lanteri, technical assistant Ritva Väisänen, technical assistant Markku Ilmakunnas, technical assistant and lay-out of the report "e analytical expert for all measurements was Teemu Näykki (SYKE). 2.2 Participants In total, 44 laboratories from Finland, Denmark, Estonia, Georgia, Kyrgyztan, Norway and Sweden participated in the PT (Appendix 1). One laboratory reported two results measured with two di$erent methods. 26 of the Finnish participating laboratories provide data for use of the Finnish environmental authorities. About 69 % of the participating laboratories used accredited analytical methods for at least a part of the measurements. "e organizing laboratory (SYKE) has the code 12 in the result tables. 2.3 Samples and delivery "e arti!cial samples A1H, A1J, A1N and A1P were prepared by diluting from the NIST traceable certi!ed reference materials produced by Merck KGaA or by AccuStandard, Inc. NIST traceable certi!cated reference materials were not available for a chlorophyll, turbidity and colour determination. "e arti!cial sample A1K for a chlorophyll determination was prepared using green pigment (Sigma-Aldrich) by dissolving the weighted pigment in ethanol. "e arti!cial sample A1S for turbidity determination was prepared by diluting Hach Formatzin Turbidity Standard produced by Hach Company. "e arti!cial sample A1V for colour measurement was prepared according to the standard EN ISO 7887 using potassium hexachloroplatinate produced by Sigma-Aldrich and cobalt chloride hexahydrate produced by Merck KGaA. "e preparation of

8 6 the samples is presented in more detail in Appendix 2. e coastal water samples B2H, B2N, B2P and B2S were collected o! shore Helsinki the Gulf of Finland. e natural water samples N3H, N3N, N3P and N3S were from the River Ilolanjoki, the southern Finland. e purity of the laboratory and the used sample vessels was checked. According to the test the all used vessels ful"lled the purity requirements. e samples were delivered 12 February 13. To Kyrgyzstan the samples were sent a week earlier using special transport services. Chlorophyll a, conductivity, colour, turbidity, ph, N NH4, N NO2+NO3 and P PO4 were requested to be measured 14 February 13. N tot and P tot were requested to be analysed by 22 February 13. All results were requested to be reported by 2 February 13 and all participants reported their results on time. 2.4 Homogeneity an stability studies e homogeneity of the coastal and river water samples was studied by measuring N NH4, N tot, P tot and turbidity. According to the homogeneity test results the samples were considered to be homogenous. More detailed information of homogeneity studies is shown in Appendix 3. e homogeneity tests showed that the preparation of coastal and river water samples for a chlorophyll measurement was unsuccessful and so these samples were not delivered to the participants. e stability of the samples was carried out by measuring a chlorophyll, N NH4, ph and P Po4 from the samples, which were stored at the room temperature during one day. e measured values were checked against the results of the samples stored in cool. According to the test the concentration of N NH4 in the sample A1N could decrease, if the the samples warmed during the distribution. is was taken into account in performance evaluation (Chapter 4). 2. Feedback from the pro ciency test e feedbacks from the pro"ciency test are shown in Appendix. e comments from the participants mainly dealt with their reporting errors with the samples. e comments from the provider are mainly focused to the lacking conversancy to the given information with the samples. 2.6 Processing of the data Pretesting of the data Before the statistical treatment, the data was tested according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test and the possible extreme values were rejected as the outliers according to the Hampel test (H in the results sheets). Also before the robust calculation some extreme outliers were rejected in case that the results deviated from the robust mean more than 0 % or in case that the result was reported erroneously (e.g. wrong unit). More detailed information of the testing and statistical treatment of the PT data is available on the internet in the guide for participating laboratories in SYKE pro"ciency testing schemes ( Assigned value e assigned values and their uncertainties are presented in Appendix 6. e NIST traceable calculated concentrations were used as the assigned values for measurements of N NO2+NO3, N tot, P PO4 and P tot in the arti"cial samples. e calculated concentration was used as the assigned value also

9 7 for the measurement of colour value although the value was not NIST traceable. For the calculated assigned values the expanded measurement uncertainty (k=2) was estimated using standard uncertainties associated with individual operations involved in the preparation of the sample. e main individual source of the uncertainty was the uncertainty of the concentration in the stock solution. For the other samples and measurements the robust means or means of the results reported by the participants were used as the assigned value. e uncertainty of the assigned value was calculated using the robust standard deviation (or the standard deviation) of the reported results using the formula presented in Appendix 6. e uncertainty of the calculated assigned values was less than 1 %. When using the robust mean of the participant results as the assigned value, the uncertainties of the assigned values varied between 0.9 % and 19 % (Appendix 6). $#er reporting of the preliminary results the assigned values was recalculated a#er rejecting erroneously reported results. Following changes to the assigned values have been done: Sample Measurement Change Impact on performance evaluation B2S Colour mg/l, Pt Questionable result Satisfactory result (Lab 8). N3N N NO2+NO mg/l No impact on performance evaluation. N3P P PO4.0.2 µg/l No impact on performance evaluation. e reliability of the assigned value was tested according to the criterion: u/s p %& 0.3, where u = the standard uncertainty of the assigned value (the expanded uncertainty of the assigned value divided by 2) s p = the standard deviation for pro"ciency assessment (total standard deviation divided by 2). In the testing of the reliability of the assigned value the criterion was not met in every case, which is indicated by the high uncertainty of the assigned values in the following cases: Sample B2S N3N N3P Measurement Colour-1 N NH4 P PO4 In the above cases the standard deviations of the reported results were high for the reliable performance evaluation (Table 1). Due to low number of results the evaluation of performance is only approximate for the Colour-2 results from the samples B2S and N3S.

10 Standard deviation for pro ciency assessment and z score "e performance evaluation was carried out by using z scores (Appendix 7). "e total standard deviation for pro!ciency assessment used for calculation of the z scores was estimated on basis of the type of the sample, the concentration of the element, the results of homogeneity testing, the uncertainties of the assigned values and the long-term variation in former pro!ciency tests. A er the preliminary performance evaluation the total standard deviations were changed as follows: Sample Measurement Change of 2 s p Impact on performance evaluation A1N N NH4 % % Labs, 18, 24, 2, 44: Questionable result Satisfactory result. Lab 31: Unsatisfactory results Questionable result. N3N N NH4 % % Labs, 7, 17, 23, 24 2, 28, 29: Questionable result Satisfactory result. Labs 2, 16, 21, 34, 3, 37, 44: Unsatisfactory results Questionable result. "e performance evaluation of the participants using calculated z scores is presented in Appendix 8.!e reliability of the target value for total deviation and the reliability of the corresponding z score were estimated by comparing the deviation for pro!ciency assessment (s p ) with the robust standard deviation of the reported results (s rob ). "e criterion s rob /s p < 1.2 was met in most cases. "is criterion was not met in the case Colour-1 results from the sample B2S, which weakened the evaluation of performance. 3 Results and conclusions 3.1 Results "e results and the performance of each laboratory are presented in Appendix 8 and the summary of the results in Table 1. "e reported results with their expanded uncertainties (k = 2) are presented in Appendix 9. "e summary of z-scores is shown in Appendix. "e robust standard deviations in the Colour results varied from 0 to 41.4 % and in the other results from 1 % to 13.2 % (Table 1)."e robust standard deviation of results was lower than 3 % for the conductivity and ph results from all samples and for the results of a chlorophyll from the synthetic sample A1K. "e robust standard deviation of the results was lower than % for 77 % of the results and lower than % for 90 % of the results (Table 1). Robust standard deviations higher than % apply to the Colour-2 measurement with a low number of participants and Colour-1 measurement from the sample B2S. Except for Colour determination they were approximately in the same range as in the previous pro!ciency test PK SYKE 1/11 [4], where the deviations varied from 1.0 % to 23.3 %.

"e used analytical methods of the participants are shown in more detail in Appendix Statiscal comparison of the analytical methods has been done only on data, in which the number of the results for each method was ( 3. Colour Colour determination was grouped to two groups: visual method using a comparator (Colour-1) and spectrophotometric method (Colour-2). Depending on the sample 19 or 22 laboratories used visual method and 6 or 7 laboratories spectrophotometric method. Statistical comparison was carried out between visual and spectrophotometric methods and no signi!cant di$erence was observed between the methods. Conductivity Most participants measured conductivity using the standard method EN Only one laboratory used an unspeci!ed other method. Statistical comparison between the methods was not possible carried out due to low number of the results.

12 Phosphate phosphorus About % of the participants determined phosphate phosphorus using the standard method EN 681. Nearly as common method (28 %) was withdrawn Finnish standard method 36. e standard method EN ISO 6878 (manual spectrophotometric method) was used by 14 % of the participants. e ammonium molybdate spectrophotometric method modi!ed for Aquachem technique was used by 4 laboratories. Two laboratories used some other method. In statistical method comparison no signi!cant di"erence was observed between the methods. Total phosphorus About % of the participants determined total phosphorus using the standard method EN ISO 681 as common was the withdrawn standard method SFS 26. e manual standard method EN ISO 6878 was used by % of the participants. Ammonium molybdate method modi!ed for Aquachem technique was used by 4 participants and ICP-MS technique by 2 participants. Two laboratories used some other method. In statistical comparison between the methods the following statistically signi!cant di"erences were observed: Mean ± standard deviation, µg/l Sample / Analyte Method n = number of the results Method 1 (EN ISO 6878) 64.0 ± 14.8, n = 4 N3P / P tot Method 2 (SFS 26) 77.4 ± 4.9, n = 9 Conclusion: The significant difference was observed between the methods 1 and 2. There was one deviating small value (42.1 µg/l) measured with the method 1, which explained the difference. Ammonium nitrogen Most participants (4 %) determined ammonium nitrogen using the standard method SFS 32 (manual indophenol blue spectrophotometric method) and 29 % of the participants used the corresponding automatic standard method EN ISO Depending on the sample 3 or 4 participants used the spectrophotometric salicylate method modi!ed for Aquachem technique and 1 participants used some other method. In statistical comparison between the methods the following statistically signi!cant di"erences were observed: Sample / Analyte Method Method 1 (SFS 32) A1N / N NH4 Method 3 (Aquachem) Method 1 (SFS 32) N3N / N NH4 Mean ± standard deviation, µg/l n = number of the results 60.7 ± 2.9, n = ± 46, n = ±.1, n = 92.9 ± 4. n = 4 Method 3 (Aquachem) Conclusion: Sample A1N: The differences between both the means and the standard deviations were significant. Two of three results measured with the Method 3 were greatly higher than the assigned value. Sample N3N: The difference between the means was significant, but low number of the results with the method 3 weakened the reliability of the method comparison.

13 11 Nitrate + nitrite nitrogen Nitrate+ nitrite nitrogen was determined using several methods. Half of the participants used the standard method EN ISO e standard method EN ISO 4 and the sulfanilamide spectrophotometric method a#er hydrazine reduction modi!ed for Aquachem technique were used by 4 laboratories. e standard method was used by 3 participants and depending of the sample some other method was used by 3 or 8 participants. In statistical comparison between the methods the following statistically signi!cant di"erences were observed: Mean ± standard deviation, µg/l Sample / Analyte Method n = number of the results Method 2 (EN ISO 1339) 76.2 ± 2.6, n = 19 A1N / N NO2+NO3 Method 4 (Aquachem) 79.4 ± 1.8, n = 4 Conclusion: Although the difference between the means was statistically significant it was smaller than the standard uncertainty of the analytical methods. The means of both methods deviated less than 3 % from the NIST traceable assigned value (77.4 µg/l). Low number of the results with the method 4 weakened the reliability of the method comparison. Total nitrogen Most participants (68 %) determined total nitrogen according to the standard method EN ISO About 26 % of the participants used modi!ed Kjeldahl method (e.g. SFS 0) and depending of the sample 1 or 2 laboratories used other methods. In statistical method comparison no signi!cant di"erence was observed between the methods. ph About 60 % of the participants measured ph using universal electrode and 33 % of the participants used an electrode for low ionic waters. a speci!c electrode was used by 1 or two participant. In statistical method comparison no signi!cant di"erence was observed between the electrodes. Turbidity Most participants measured turbidity with an apparatus based on di"used radiation measurement. Two participants used an apparatus based attenuated radiation. Statistical comparison between the methods was not possible carried out due to low number of the results. 3.3 Uncertainties of the results At maximum about 84 % of participants reported the expanded uncertainties (k=2) with their results for some measurements (Table 2, Appendix 12). e range of the reported uncertainties varied between the measurements and the sample types. e measure uncertainty is a part of all measured results and it is a measure for the accuracy of the result. It is misleading to report that the uncertainty is 0 % as two laboratories had reported in the case of turbinity results. Several approaches were used for estimating of measurement uncertainty (Appendix 12). The most used approach based on data of the internal quality data (Meth 3 and Meth 4). Generally, the approach for estimating measurement uncertainty has not made a de nite impact on the uncertainty estimates. Thus, harmonization in the estimating of uncertainties should be continued.

About 69 % of the participants used accredited methods and 87 % of their results were satisfactory. About 72 % of the results measured using non-accredited methods were satisfactory. Pro#est SYKE arranged a similar pro!ciency test in 11 and then 91 % of the results were satisfactory [4]. Similar test arranged also in 12 and then 81 % of the results were satisfactory []. e calculated z scores are presented with the results of each participant in Appendix 8 and the summary of z scores is presented in Appendix. e summary of the performance evaluation is shown in Table 3.

According the stability test the concentration of ammonium nitrogen in the sample A1N could decrease, if the temperature increased up to C during the transport. Several laboratories (16) reported the received temperature of the samples from to 21 C and 14 of these laboratories analysed ammonium nitrogen. Most of these laboratories reported satisfactory ammonium nitrogen results for the sample A1N. Two laboratories reported ammonium nitrogen results below the quanti!cation limit and one laboratory too high result from the sample A1N. e provider concluded that in this case the stability of the sample A1N was not reason for the unsatisfactory ammonium nitrogen results. SUMMARY Pro#est SYKE carried out the pro!ciency test for analysis of a chlorophyll, colour, conductivity, nutriens, ph and turbidity February 13. A total of 44 laboratories participated in the PT. e sample types were: arti!cial water, coastal water and river water. e calculated concentrations, the robust mean or mean of the results reported by the participants were used as the assigned values for measurements. e uncertainties of the calculated assigned values were 1 % or less. e uncertainties of the consensus assigned values (the robust mean) varied from 0.9 % to 19 %. e evaluation of the performance of the participants was carried out using z scores. In some cases the evaluation of the performance was not possible e.g. due to the low number of participants. In total, 8 % of the results in this pro!ciency test were satisfactory when deviations of % from the assigned values were accepted. About 69 % of the participants used accredited methods and 87 % of their results were satisfactory.

16 6 YHTEENVETO REFERENCES 14 Pro est SYKE järjesti pätevyyskokeen ympäristönäytteitä analysoiville laboratorioille helmikuussa 13. Pätevyyskokeessa määritettiin synteettisistä näytteistä, rannikkovedestä ja jokivedestä a-klorofylli, fosfaattifosfori, kokonaisfosfori, ammoniumtyppi, nitraatti+nitriitti-typpi, kokonaistyppi, ph, sameus, sähkönjohtavuus ja väri. Pätevyyskokeeseen osallistui yhteensä 44 laboratoriota. Laboratorioiden pätevyyden arviointi tehtiin z-arvon avulla ja sen laskemisessa käytetyn kokonaishajonnan tavoitearvot olivat välillä 2,4 3 %. Mittaussuureen vertailuarvona käytettiin pääsääntöisesti laskennallista pitoisuutta tai osallistujien ilmoittamien tulosten robustia keskiarvoa. Pinta- ja rannikkovesinäytteiden värin vertailuarvona käytettiin keskiarvoa. Kun tavoitearvona käytettiin laskennallsita pitoisuutta, sen epävarmuus oli pienempi kuin 1 % ja robustia keskiarvoa käytettäessä tavoitearvon epävarmuus vaihteli 0,9 % ja 19 % välillä. Pienestä tulosmäärästä johtuen spektrifotometrisesti määritetyn värin vertailuarvon epävarmuutta ei voinut määrittää. Eri analyysimenetelmillä saaduissa tuloksissa todettiin jonkin verran merkitseviä eroja. Menetelmävertailun luotettavuutta heikensi, jos toisella vertailtavalla menetelmällä oli vähän tuloksia. Koko tulosaineistossa hyväksyttäviä tuloksia oli 8 %, kun vertailuarvosta sallittiin 2,4 3 %:n poikkeama. Noin 69 % osallistujista käytti akkreditoituja määritysmenetelmiä ja näistä tuloksista oli hyväksyttäviä 87 %. 1. ISO/IEC 17043,. Conformity assessment General requirements for pro!ciency testing. 2.

It was not obvious that the concentration of P PO4 could increase in the sample A1P. The NIST traceable assigned value for the concentration of P PO4 was 16.3 µg/l. 2) The difference depended on the analytical deviation. The difference of the results measured 12 February and 23 February ( C) was -0.16, which was smaller than 0.3 s p. Chlorophyll a Sample Result, abs/cm Date 12 Feb 14 Feb ( ºC) 14 Feb (4 ºC) A1K D 0.0 0,3 s p D <0,3 s p Yes Conclusion: According the test the concentration of N NH4 in the sample A1N could decrease, if the temperature of the samples increased during the distribution. This was taken into account in performance evaluation (Chapter 4). All other analytes could be regarded stable enough for the proficiency test.

22 APPENDIX FEEDBACK FROM THE PROFICIENCT TEST Feedback from the participants Laboratory Comments on samples Action / SYKE 11 The participant informed that several sample bottles had the same sample number. 18 The sample letter was not included in the sample packace. The participant analysed the samples according to the guidelines given for the previous corresponding proficiency test. Laboratory Comments on results Action / SYKE 7, 16, 22, 34 The participant received also in reanalysis significantly too high ammonium nitrogen results from the sample A1N. 9 The participant had informed with reporting of the results that N and P species had been reported as anions because the guidelines were not clear enough. 18 The participant filtered the samples for phosphate phosphorus determination (pore size 0.4 µm). 37 The participant had reported the colour and conductivity results on the erroneous rows. The correct results were: Conductivity A1J 7.3 ms/m, B2H 76 ms/m, N3H.4 ms/m. Colour-1 A1V 3 mg/l Pt, B2S mg/l Pt, N3S 70 mg/l Pt. Feedback to the participants Laboratory Comments from the provider The sample numbers are given according to the filling order. The samples to the participant are collected randomly. It is possible that the sample bottles for different measurements have the same bottle number. Proftest SYKE regrets for the lack of the letter. The PT letters and other documents are available on Proftest web site ( On request the documents will be sent by . Proftest SYKE asked the samples to send back to SYKE for check analysis. At SYKE the ammonium concentration was measured by manual indophenol blue method (Method 1) and by FIA (Method 2). The results were: Method 1: 62,1 µg/l, SD = 3 % Method 2: 63,1 µg/l, SD = % According to these results the ammonium concentration was not changed significantly. Glycine (Amino acetic acid) was used as organic nitrogen compound in the preparation of the sample A1N (Appendix 2) and it was possible that it interfered the determination of ammonium nitrogen in some cases. The results were corrected by the provider. The results were not included in the calculation of the assigned value. The results were treated as outliers. The results should have been satisfactory, if they had been reported correctly. 4 Probably the turbidity results of the samples B2S and N3S have been reported on the erroneous rows. The results were not included for the calculation of the assigned value. 4 The results of N NH4 were reported as accredited, but without measurement uncertainties. 11, 32 It is misleading to report uncertainties 0 %, if any uncertainty has not been estimated. The results were reported as accredited, but without measurement uncertainties.

In total 44 laboratories participated in this proficiency test. The sample types were: artificial water sample, coastal water and natural water. Calculated concentrations or the robust mean of the results reported by the participant were used as the assigned values for measurements. The evaluation of the performance of the participants was carried out using z score. In some cases the evaluation of the performance was not possible e.g. due to the low number of the participants. In total, 8 % of the total data in this proficiency test were satisfactory when the deviations of % from the assigned values were accepted.

Testattavina suureina olivat a-klorofylli, ravinteet, ph sameus, sähkönjohtavuus ja väri. Näytteenä olivat synteettinen vesinäyte, rannikkovesi ja jokivesi. Pätevyyskokeeseen osallistui yhteensä 44 laboratoriota. Mittaussuureen vertailuarvona käytettiin laskennallista arvoa tai osallistujien tulosten robustia keskiarvoa. Pätevyyden arvioimisessa käytettiin z-arvoa. Kokonaisuudessaan hyväksyttäviä tuloksia oli 8 %, kun tulosten sallittiin poiketa 2,6 3 % vertailuarvosta.
