5.1 Form and content of comparison test
5.1.1 Personnel comparison
Personnel comparison test refers to a test in which different test personnel test the same sample under the same environmental conditions, using the same test method, the same test equipment and facilities. When a test can be performed by multiple people, the laboratory can use personnel comparison test to conduct internal quality control. By arranging two or more representative people at different levels to carry out comparison tests, the ability level of the test personnel can be assessed, and whether the test personnel operate correctly and skillfully can be judged, so as to evaluate the impact of personnel on the accuracy, stability and reliability of laboratory test results. As an internal quality control method, personnel comparison test is preferably applied to the following situations: projects that rely more on subjective judgment of testers, such as sensory and tasting items in food; a) employees in training and new employees; c) key control points or key control links in the testing process; d) samples with high operating difficulty or test items with test results near the critical value, newly installed equipment, newly tested test items; method comparison; method comparison test refers to the use of different test methods by the same testers under the same environmental conditions. Tests in which the same sample is tested by different methods
When a test item can be operated by multiple methods, the laboratory can use the method comparison test to conduct internal quality control to determine whether the standard or method followed by the test is correctly understood and strictly implemented to evaluate the impact of the test method on the accuracy, stability and reliability of the laboratory test results
As an internal quality control means, the method comparison test is preferably applicable to the following situations a) New standards or new methods that have just been implemented;
b) New technologies, new methods and new methods developed; existing projects with multiple inspection standards or methods. c
5.1.3 Instrument comparison
Instrument comparison test refers to the test in which the same sample is tested by the same test personnel using different instruments and equipment under the same environmental conditions, using the same test method. When a test is operated by multiple equipment, the laboratory can use the equipment comparison test to conduct internal quality control to determine whether the equipment that affects the measurement accuracy and effectiveness meets the measurement traceability requirements, and to evaluate the impact of the instrument and equipment on the accuracy, stability and reliability of the laboratory test results. As an internal quality control method, equipment comparison test is preferably applied to the following situations: a) newly installed equipment;
repaired equipment;
equipment whose test results appear near the critical value. c
5.1.4 Retesting of retained samples
Retesting of retained samples refers to the test in which the same test personnel retest the samples that have been tested during the storage period of the retained samples under the same environmental conditions as much as possible, using the same test methods, the same test equipment and facilities. RB/T208—2016
The laboratory re-measures the retained samples and compares and analyzes the differences between the last test results and the current test results to find out the impact of accidental factors on the accuracy, stability and reliability of the laboratory test results. As an internal quality control method, retesting of retained samples can be used in the following situations: a) verify the accuracy of the test results;
verify the repeatability of the test results;
c) monitor the characteristics of retained samples.
Other forms
There are many other forms of comparison for laboratory internal comparison tests. There are many factors that affect the test results in chemical laboratories. Different factors correspond to different comparison forms. Usually, a single-factor comparison test is used, that is, a comparison test only examines one main test factor, such as: comparison of environmental conditions (temperature and humidity, etc.) of different laboratories, comparison of reagents, instruments or consumables of different batches or brands, etc. 5.2 Design of comparison test plan

2Sample preparation/preparation
Samples for comparative test can be divided into negative samples and positive samples. For positive samples, they can be obtained through the following ways: a) Self-made samples
With the understanding of the sample preparation method, the laboratory can use its own instruments and equipment to prepare simple samples, or cooperate in preparation. Regardless of the preparation method adopted, the prepared samples should be sampled and tested to evaluate their uniformity and stability to confirm that they can be used for comparative tests.
b) Positive retention samples
For positive samples encountered during routine testing, you can choose whether to retain the sample3

and use it for comparative tests according to the nature of the sample and the target test item.
When using such samples for comparative tests, it should be confirmed that such samples have been in a properly preserved state that meets the requirements since the last test, and the composition and content of the analyte therein should be confirmed to have not changed through effective means such as expert evaluation or sample evaluation. ) Standard samples or quality control samples
Certified reference materials, comparison samples remaining from inter-laboratory comparisons or proficiency testing activities, and laboratory quality control samples usually have good homogeneity and have specified reference values ​​and measurement uncertainties. Therefore, such samples can be used as comparative test samples as long as they are confirmed to have been in a properly preserved state that meets the requirements. d) Spiked samples
Add appropriate concentrations of standard materials to a series of weighed samples at the same time. The addition process should be independent of the test process. The person who adds should be an experienced technician. The concentration of addition should be suitable for the day of the comparative test. The volume of addition should be accurate and small. The added sample should be placed for a certain period of time under appropriate conditions. 5.3.3 Disposal of samples
