No results found.GLOSOLAN is a Global Soil Laboratory Network which aims to harmonize soil analysis methods and data so that soil information is comparable and interpretable across laboratories, countries and regions. Evidence-based decisions are critical to the achievement of Sustainable Soil Management (SSM), food security and nutrition, and Agenda 2030. While the quantity and quality of soil data are fundamental, soil information must also be harmonized and globally consistent to have impact. This report presents and discusses the results of the first GLOSOLAN online survey at the global and regional level. This is the first soil laboratory survey ever made at such a large and international scale. The analysis of the first worldwide survey of laboratories undertaking soil analyses demonstrates the motivation of these laboratories to join an international network; confirms the need for the implementation of global harmonization and standardization of analytical procedures; shows the need for improving the knowledge and competence of laboratory staff; and finally suggests that addressing the existing quality assurance/quality control issues between laboratories should start at the regional level. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetGlobal Soil Laboratory Network – Basic guidelines for preparing a sample for internal quality control 2020
Also available in:
Quality control (QC) is a set of activities or techniques aiming to ensure that all quality requirements are being met. The continuous monitoring of laboratory operations and results is essential to decide whether the results are reliable enough to be released. Laboratories undertaking set of procedure to monitor their operations and results work on their internal quality control. These guidelines were prepared by the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) to support and encourage soil laboratories to perform internal quality controls. Thus, to increase their accuracy in soil analysis.
