ILC List 2023 |
|||||||||||||
|
The 2023 ILC (interlaboratory comparisons) program includes chemical analyses of metals and ferroalloys, physical tests (metallography, decarburization and heat treatments, intergranular corrosion tests, determination of the roughness of a surface), tests on liquid paints (viscosity, non volatile percentage and volumetric mass, infra-red spectrometry), test on organic or inorganic coatings (thickness, gloss, colorimetry, resistance of the film), aging tests (salt spray test, Kesternich test, water immersion, xenon lamp, UV), mechanical tests (Charpy impact test, Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers hardness tests, several types of tensile tests at ambient temperature or high temperature, bending test and rebend test, tube flattening test, fatigue test), tests of mechanics fracture, tests on welded joints, tests on bolts, tests on steels for concrete, on welded mesh, prestressing steels for concrete, tests on plastic material, tests on admixtures for concrete, tests on sealants (properties and ageing). |
|||||||||||||
|
In order to reduce the number of samples to be processed at the same time by participants, the year is divided into 3 groups: |

Note: After the deadline, registrations are only accepted within the limit of availability of samples |

|
In addition to the assessment of the bias and repeatability, the participation to ILC organised by CompaLab provides an individual estimate the uncertainties of your test results. |
|||||||||||||
|
At last, for participants who need their results very quickly, some samples which properties are known through the results of former ILC are also available. |

Costs of transportation
|
Costs of transportation |
|||||||||||||
|
Transportation costs are computed taking into account the approximate weight of the samples and the country where the samples must be delivered. |
|||||||||||||
|
Note: if two shipments are required (corresponding to groups 1 and 2), prices are calculated separately for each shipment and the amount due is the total of the two. |
|||||||||||||
|
Note: If additional sendings are required (e. g. paper documents), these sendings must be handled by the participant. |
