Chemical and Microbiological Tests
Interlaboratory Comparisons 2025
Laboratory comparisons are part of quality control in laboratory activities and important for a number of company certifications. In 2025, SGF again offers its members the opportunity to participate in a free chemical/physical ringtest and a discounted microbiological ringtest.
Both tests are adapted to the needs of the juice industry. This year, the chemical/physical ringtest is carried out on an apple juice from apple juice concentrate. For the correct execution, we again use the service of our cooperation partner DRRR. (Deutsches Referenzbüro für Ringversuche & Referenzmaterialien).
The chemical/physical test is running and the registration deadline for the microbiological test is 18 July 2025.
