📋 Tender Overview
The chemistry laboratory of the geological, mining and metallurgical institute (ingemmet) obtained three world-class certifications, two related to water and one to gold. The laboratory of excellence certificate from waters era, obtained by ingemmet, is a distinction awarded to laboratories that demonstrate superior performance in proficiency testing studies, positioning it as a laboratory of excellence for achieving 100% acceptable data.
In october, ingemmets chemistry laboratory participated in the round 339 of eras water supply for drinking water pt scheme, which includes a compendium of proficiency tests that is designed to evaluate the laboratorys performance against 659 other participants from around the world, on the same set of environmental parameters.
The laboratory of excellence certificate, obtained by the chemistry laboratory, is a demonstration of its superior quality in the evaluation of the analytes, substance or chemical component that is studied or analyzed in a sample. in this case, the evaluation of the detailed analytes is part of the proficiency testing performance report, which is made up of bromide, calcium, magnesium, sodium, aluminum, barium, among others.
This certificate recognizes the quality and precision of the analytical results of the ingemmet laboratory, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of quality and regulatory compliance.
Waters era is a leading company in the supply of certified reference materials (crm) and quality control products for laboratories. founded in 1977, waters era has become a reference supplier for thousands of laboratories around the world. its products are designed to improve the precision of environmental and process water testing, ensuring that laboratories comply with regulations and maintain high analytical standards.
On the other hand, the chemistry laboratory also participated in the amis 0923 proficiency testing round robin, where it has positioned itself within the ranking of laboratories with the best performance, out of 24 competing laboratories, as specified in the report presented by african mineral standards. the analytes in which it participated were as, au, ba, be, bi, cd, co, cr, cu, la, li, mo, ni, pb, sr, v, w and zn.
In addition, in november, the ingemmet chemistry laboratory participated in the proficiency test program in gold ore analyzes 111th round -itak november 2024, together with 21 other laboratories from around the world. the parameter analyzed was the au analyte, achieving a satisfactory performance in each of the two items tested in the 111th round.
Itak - august kekule institute of technology ltda - in joao monlevade/mg - brazil, founded in 2008, conducts competency tests that have global acceptance, with companies from more than 60 countries currently participating.
The general report technical report itak- rtg 005a-2024 pep indicates that the quality tools used by the ingemmet chemistry laboratory for the evaluated analyses are correct and aligned to achieve the condition of excellence and to be competent to perform this type of analysis.
