Notes
We had a soil laboratory
network in the past, when
there were more
govermental laboratories
in our system. We need to
contact non-governmental
laboratories.
We hope that the non-
govermental labs also
want to join a great
national system without
oblibatory.
Now 1 chemical and
phisical soil lab (us) and 1
biological soil lab are in
our governmental sytem.
We didn’t have the
contact lists to the soil
laboratories.
We use our list from
allowing system (but this
is not complete). We use
list from national PT and
National Accreditation
Authority’s website.
We will collect the e-mail
addresses in October.

4. The plan of the 1st national soil laboratory meeting:
1. Inviting the laboratories to the 1st meeting by e-mail from the made
contact list.
2. We want to take presentation about:
- GLOSOLAN meetings
- EUROSOLAN meetings
- Benefits to join EUROSOLAN
- Benefits to join national soil network (organization of
proficiency tests for rare parameters, discuss our
common problems)
3. After the meeting the participations make decision to join the national soil
network.
4. With the national soil laboratory network, we want to organize an annual
meeting where we can discuss our experiences and report on what's new at
GLOSOLAN and EUROSOLAN.

attention
