Sažetak
In the world trade of milk and dairy products credible and acceptable analytical results are only those which come from accredited laboratories (EN ISO/IEC 17025). In order to obtain accuracy and precision of analytical results each laboratory must implement suitable programmes according to ISO/IEC 17025. These programmes must include the use of reference materials, standards for the calibration of instruments and also the plan for participation in Proficiency testing schemes (PT’s) as the best tool for checking the accuracy of analytical results. Since 2005 until now the Reference Laboratory for Milk and Dairy Products, Department of Dairy Science, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb (RL) has accredited 42 analytical methods of milk and dairy products. RL plays the very important role in the Croatian milk quality system which was implemented in 2002 and provides services such as: preparation of calibration samples of cow´s, goat´s and sheep´s milk for the calibration of analytical instruments ; preparation of calibration samples of pasteurized and sterilized milk for the calibration of analytical instruments ; preparation of reference material for inter- laboratory comparative testing and performance of verification of the accuracy of the analytical results of milk and milk products in the dairy laboratories ; chemical, physical and microbiological analysis of milk and dairy products.
