25. Conclusion
25
Under the Asian Soil Partnership Network:
National Level
1. Four Laboratories from 4 agencies: setting the Lab Std. follow ISO17025: 2017
2. Two Laboratories from 2 agencies: Requested ISO-Certificate from the
Accreditation Body (AB)
3. Six Laboratories from 4 agencies: Joined in PT-Program for pH EC OC testing
4. Prepare Two types of Internal Reference Material: IRM for fertility and IRM
for heavy metal contamination
5. CSFMC Handbook or ศดปช-Handbook: Officers in the community soil and
fertilizer management centers can transfer the pattern knowledge system of
site-specific nutrient management to farmer and soil doctor volunteer

26. Conclusion and Recommendation
26
Under the Asian Soil Partnership Network:
Regional Level
1. PT-Program:
Received more knowledges about how to use the statistic to evaluate the PT-
results, especially when the results had different ranges (16 countries of ASP)
2. SOP:
(1) Have the experience for integrated work with the international members
(2) Have the believable reference analytical method with can refer to in both
of national and international level.
3. International Laboratory Network which can share the knowledge and
information.
