Abstract

 The approach to analytical quality control adopted for the UK National Marine Analytical Quality Control Scheme is described. The Scheme began in 1991 and is in its fifth year of operation. The aim of the programme of work is to ensure adequate control over the accuracy of analysis, such that the aims of the UK National Marine Monitoring Plan are satisfied. The results of interlaboratory tests for the determination of nutrients in water samples and metals, organic compounds in waters, sediments and biological samples are summarised.
