1 «Tit» «Name» «Fam_Nam» «Organization» «Address» «Address_» «PO_Box» «City». «Country» Proficiency Test 5- Laboratory Code: «Lab_code» Sevilla, February, 6 Dear participants, Enclosed you will find the report of the Proficiency Test 5- on Drugs of Abuse in Hair, organized by the Society of Hair Testing. Each of the participating laboratories received an identifying code. Your particular code is «Lab_code». Sets of three samples were sent to forty four participating laboratories. Forty one of them sent the report forms back. Sample contents were as follows: Sample A contained opiates (6-MAM, morphine, codeine, acetylcodeine and heroin), cocainics (cocaine, BE, norcocaine and traces of cocaethylene) and cannabis (THC, CBD, CBN and THC-COOH). It also contained methadone, dihydrocodeine, diazepam, nordiazepam, tramadol, EME and AEME. Sample B contained contained traces of cocainics (cocaine, BE). Median concentration of cocaine is below the cut-off proposed by SoHT. Sample C opiates (6-MAM, morphine, codeine, acetylcodeine and heroin), cocainics (cocaine, BE, cocaethylene and norcocaine) traces of amphetamine compounds (amphetamine methamphetamine and MDMA) and cannabis (THC, CBD, CBN and THC-COOH). It also contained dihydrocodeine, diazepam, nordiazepam, tramadol, EME, AEME and traces of methadone.

2 has been calculated based on robust estimators (median instead of mean and interquartile instead of standard deviation). has been calculated as follows: = (x - χ) / IQR Where: x: Concentration reported by the participant χ: Median concentration obtained from the participating laboratories IQR: Interquartile range: It is calculated as: Q-Q (the upper quartile minus the lower quartile) Q: Third quartile (percentile 75) Q: First quartile (percentile 5) Decision criteria The following criteria have been adopted: Satisfactory results: ± Questionable results: < Unsatisfactory results: Yours faithfully, Carmen Jurado
