As required by good laboratory practice, SAWLA member labs statistically compare analysis results for wines sampled from the same tanks on a regular basis as proficiency test and performance tracker

On the SAWLA's web based Interlab LIMS (laboratory information management system), key statistical parameters, distribution and performance graphs are available immediately after results are submitted. Performance histories are updated and available in graphical format at the member lab's home page

Approximately 50 member laboratories take part - 2 samples each per month tested for any number of standard wine related analytes, resulting in approximately 1000 analyses per month for statistical comparison

SAWLA is a division of SASEV - the South African Society for Enology and Viticulture
