Welcome to NMBAQC
The NMBAQC scheme provides a source of external Quality
Assurance (QA) for laboratories engaged in the production of marine
biological data.
The scheme is made up of six distinct components, each run by
separate scheme administrators and contract managers. Each of the
components can be viewed via the top navigation menu under Scheme
Components.
As part of BEQUALM, the NMBAQC scheme is
open to participants from across the European Union. In the United
Kingdom all Competent Monitoring Authority laboratories and
their contractors undertaking statutory marine monitoring
programmes are required to participate. However, participation from
others engaged in the production of marine biological data is
welcomed.
