Ringversuch – Differenzierung von innenraumrelevanten Schimmelpilzen

To prove and evaluate the fungal load, present indoors identification of fungi up to species level is prerequisited. Therefore, the set-up of an external quality assurance system and the qualification of the lab workers will be required. In 2001, the working party "Quality Assurance - Fungi in Indoor Environments" - initiated by the Health Service, Baden-Wurttemberg (LGA BW), established an inter-laboratory test entitled "Identification of Indoor Fungi". Until now, 2 inter-laboratory tests are carried out based on pure cultures. In every inter-laboratory test 50 laboratories participated. Results will be represented and discussed. Carrying out the inter-laboratory test internationally is planned.
