CIL BOUCHONS
The purpose of the BOUCHONS Interlaboratory Comparison (CIL) is to measure physical and mechanical parameters on cork stoppers.
- Compare your results with other specialized laboratories
- Ensure the reliability of your measurements and detect any deviations
- Improve your protocols and test control
- Leverage your laboratory's technical expertise
- Strengthen your credibility and your quality approach
- Contribute to the overall reliability of cork industry references
The CIL BOUCHONS is a technical process organized by the Gironde Chamber of Agriculture, specially designed for laboratories specializing in cork testing. It enables you to assess the reliability and consistency of the measurements carried out by your laboratory.
Objective: compare, make reliable, progress
Participants measure various physical and mechanical parameters:
Length, diameter, ovalization
Bulk density
Moisture content
Extraction force (bottle and tube)
Dimensional recovery after compression
CIL BOUCHONS is a comprehensive service, designed to support your laboratory at every stage:
Samples supplied and standardized
Collection and statistical analysis via an expert of your results
Individual, confidential and detailed report
A concrete lever for making your measurements more reliable, reinforcing your quality approach and highlighting your laboratory's expertise.
