Pesticide Proficiency Testing
Accurate pesticide analysis is critical for food safety, environmental protection and regulatory compliance. With complex residues, low detection limits and increasing scrutiny from regulators and customers, laboratories must be able to demonstrate the reliability of their results. Participation in pesticide Proficiency Testing (PT) provides independent evidence of technical competence. It allows laboratories to benchmark performance, identify issues early and support compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 and regulatory expectations. Regular participation also supports method validation, staff competence and continuous improvement, helping laboratories maintain confidence in day-to-day testing. LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing is a UKAS accredited PT provider (ISO/IEC 17043); our schemes are designed to reflect real analytical challenges, providing results that are meaningful and fit for purpose. Although the use of pesticides in food products continues to cause concern on environmental and safety grounds, insecticides and herbicides will play key roles in guaranteeing global food security for years to come.
