「亞太經濟合作(Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation,APEC)」標準及符合性次級委員會(Sub-Committee on Standards and Conformance,SCSC)為強化會員體間實驗室之化學量測能力及提升檢驗追溯性,於2011-2012年舉辦「水產品中必需及有毒元素(Essential and Toxic Elements in Seafood)」之實驗室能力試驗,計畫由香港政府化驗所(Government Laboratory,Hong Kong,GLHK)負責檢體配製及測試報告撰寫,由APEC規劃預備會議與總結會議。總計有10個經濟體18家實驗室參加,本實驗室代表中華台北參加該試驗計畫。本實驗室檢驗結果z-score分別為鐵-0.41、鋅0.16、砷-0.12及鎘0.15,在4個元素的分析表現均屬滿意;4種元素元素分析結果均表現滿意僅4家,本實驗室為其中之一,顯見我國重金屬之分析實力已達國際水準。
With a view of laboratory capacity building in the area of conformity assessment in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) region, a proficiency test (PT) study on "Essential and Toxic Elements in Seafood" was organized by the AP metrology programme (APMP) as a joint initiative of its Technical Committee for Amount of Substance (TCQM) and the Developing Economies' Committee (DEC) in 2011-2012. The project consisted of APEC PT samples and reports prepared by the Government Laboratory, Hong Kong (GLHK), and Preparatory and Concluding Workshops held by The APEC. A total of 18 laboratories from 10 economies registered for the programme. All 18 laboratories returned the results to the GLHK within the programme schedule. Our laboratory (No.8) was one of the four receiving satisfactory results with Z-score of -0.41, 0.16, -0.12 and 0.15 for the four analytes, iron, zinc, arsenic and cadmium, respectively.
