REPORT INTEGRITY
Since 2006 all FAPAS reports have been distributed as AdobeCertified Document Services(CDS) AdobePDF documents [1].
The use of AdobeCDS allows the PDF files to certify that the author of the report is FAPASand that the document has not been altered in anyway. A blue ribbon and information barindicates this validation when the document is opened using AdobeReader v7 or later.
Hard copies of FAPAS reports can never incorporate this level of integrity and consequentlywhen a FAPAS report is printed a watermark, stating that printed copies are not controlled,appears on every page.
End users of FAPAS reports should ensure that either the opened PDF file displays a validFAPAS digital signature or that the content of any hard copy exactly matches the content ofa PDF file that displays a valid FAPAS digital signature.
QUALITY SYSTEMS

SUMMARY
1. The test material for FAPASproficiency test 25103 was dispatched in November 2012.
Each participant received a milk powder test material to be analysed for moisture, ash,
total fat, nitrogen, titratable acidity and lactose.
2. An assigned value (xa) was determined for each analyte and in conjunction with the
standard deviation for proficiency (p) was used to calculate a z-score for each result.
3. Results for this proficiency test are summarised as follows:

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Proficiency Testing
Proficiency testing aims to provide an independent assessment of the competence ofparticipating laboratories. Together with the use of validated methods, proficiency testing isan essential element of laboratory quality assurance.
Further details of the FAPAS proficiency testing scheme are available in ourprotocols [3, 4].
2. TEST MATERIAL
2.1. Preparation
Preparation of the samples for this proficiency test was sub-contracted to a laboratorymeeting the quality requirements of the schemes accreditation [2].
The milk was prepared from a blend of full-fat milk powder and skimmed milk powder.
All analytes were present at natural levels.
Samples were stored at ambient temperature until dispatch.
2.2. Homogeneity
To test for homogeneity, randomly selected test materials were analysed in duplicate.Testing was sub-contracted to a laboratory meeting the quality requirements of the schemes
accreditation [2].These data showed sufficient homogeneity and were not included in the subsequentcalculation of the assigned values.
2.3. Dispatch
The start date was 16 November 2012. Test materials were sent to 107 participants.
3. RESULTS
The instructions for reporting results were as follows:
Determine the level of moisture, ash, total fat, nitrogen, titratable acidity and lactosepresent in the test material, in g/100g, as received.
If you analyse for total fat, it is essential that you tell us whether you have used an acidor alkaline hydrolysis method.
For titratable acidity, express results as lactic acid and report as g/100g of dry sample.
Lactose is to be reported as anhydrous lactose.
Results were submitted by 93 participants (87%) before the closing date for this test,28 December 2012.
Each participant was given a laboratory number, assigned in order of receipt of results. Thereported analyte concentrations are given inTable 1.
Participants comments are given inTable 2.

The analytical methods used by each participant are summarised inAPPENDIX I.
4. STATISTICAL EVALUATION OF RESULTS
The results submitted by participants were statistically analysed in order to provide anassigned value for each analyte. The assigned values were then used in combination withthe standard deviation for proficiency, p, to calculate a z-score for each result. Theprocedure follows that recommended in the IUPAC International Harmonised Protocol for theProficiency Testing of Analytical Chemistry Laboratories [5].
Further details on the procedure followed can be found in the relevant protocols [3, 4].
4.1. Calculation of the Assigned Value, xa
The assigned value, xa, for each analyte was derived from the consensus of the resultssubmitted by participants.
The following results were excluded from the calculation of the assigned value:
i) results reported as approximately 10, 100 or 1000 greater or smaller than themajority of submitted results (as these were considered to be reporting errors),
ii) results for moisture that appeared to be for total solids,
iii) results for total fat that did not state use of either acid or alkaline hydrolysis,
iv) results for nitrogen that appeared to be for protein,
v) results for titratable acidity that were considered to be reporting errors.
For all analytes, this procedure was straightforward and the robust mean was chosen as theassigned value.
The assigned values for all analytes are shown inTable 3.
4.2. Standard Deviation for Proficiency, p
The standard deviation for proficiency, p,was set at a value that reflects best practice forthe analyses in question.
For moisture, ash and nitrogen, pwas derived from collaborative trial data [6, 7, 8].
For total fat, titratable acidity and lactose, pwas calculated using fitness-for-purpose criteriabased on expert advice.
The values for pused to calculate z-scores from the reported results of this test are given in
Table 3.
4.3. Individual z-Scores
Participants z-scores were calculated as:
p
axx
z
)( =
where x = the participants reported result,xa = the assigned value
and p = the standard deviation for proficiency.
Participants z-scores for all analytes are given in Table 1 and shown as histograms inFigures 16. It is possible for the z-scores published in this report to differ slightly from the
5/24/2018 Leche Polvo (25103 ) Nov 12
7/36
FAPASReport 25103
Page 7 of 36
z-score that can be calculated using the formula given above. These differences arise fromthe necessary rounding of the actual assigned values and standard deviations for proficiencyprior to their publication inTable 3.
The number and percentage of z-scores in the range -2 z 2 for all analytes are given inTable 4.
5. INTERPRETATION OF SCORES
In normal circumstances, over time, about 95% of z-scores will lie in the range -2 z 2.Occasional scores in the range 2
