dc.description.abstractFrom 1997 until 2016, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has coordinated 40 proficiency tests for the analysis and identification of intact chemical warfare agents, precursor chemicals, degradation and reaction products. This chapter reviews the chemicals used to spike the proficiency test samples, identifying those that have been used multiple times and the distribution of chemicals based upon the schedules in the chemical warfare convention (CWC). The aim of this chapter is not to provide an easy route to pass the proficiency tests but rather to illustrate the range of chemicals that should be considered during method development and/or validation for laboratories participating in, or considering participating in the OPCW Proficiency Test regime.en_UK
