We have a small screening lab where we do aW, butterfat, moisture, and pH as well as bacteria screening/presumptive testing. Does anybody have advice on how I should go about meeting the new Version 8 requirement of annual proficiency testing?
I do most of the testing myself and there is currently nothing for me to validate with except that I follow a written standard (Standard Methods for the Examination of Dairy Products, 17th ed.). Would it suffice to see if my outside lab would be willing to conduct an evaluation?
