Required by good laboratory practice, SAWLA member labs statistically compare analysis results for wines sampled from the same tanks on a regular basis as proficiency test and performance tracker

On Bika Interlab, key statistical parameters, distribution and performance graphs are available immediately after results are captured. Performance histories are updated and available in graphical format at the lab's Interlab home page

Inter-laboratory organisations and standards manufacturers from all industry sectors are invited to submit requirements for future releases of Bika Interlab. Please contact project manager Lemoene Smit, lemoene@bikalabs.com

_{Proficiency Testing
The aim of Proficiency Testing - also known as Inter-Laboratory Comparison Programmes, ILCP, or Proficiency Schemes - is to provide laboratories with objective assessments of the accuracy and reliability of their test results. Proficiency Testing also provides the opportunity for laboratories to benchmark their performance within a pooled industry group, nationally or internationally. www.labchek.info}
