NMBAQC

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 5 distinct components, each run by separate contractors. (Each of the components can be viewed via the top navigation menu under Scheme Components)

As part of BEQUALM, the scheme is open to participants from across the European Union. In the United Kingdom all government laboratories and their contractors are required to participate. However, participation from others engaged in the production of marine biological data is welcomed.
