Why participate in our ECIL

Our ECIL TITRIVIN

A scientific approach to guarantee the reliability of our reference materials


To guarantee the accuracy and reliability of each new batch, we organize an annual Inter-Laboratory Collaborative Study (ECIL).

The aim of this study is to characterize our products and assign their reference values, based on analytical results obtained by a wide panel of laboratories.

Each year, 2 to 3 new references are subjected to an analysis campaign carried out by around 50 oenological laboratories accredited to NF EN ISO/CEI 17025.

The results collected are subject to rigorous statistical processing to establish the certified values of our TITRIVIN reference materials.

This approach guarantees:

  • optimum analytical accuracy,

  • complete data traceability,

  • recognized product reliability.

Contrary to an inter-laboratory comparison, the TITRIVIN ECIL does not aim to assess the performance of participating laboratories, but rather to guarantee the quality and robustness of our reference materials.

Who can participate?

  • The ECIL is open to all laboratories accredited to NF EN ISO/CEI 17025, in the field of oenological analysis.

Collaborative studies characterize the following analytical parameters :

Why take part?
The inter-laboratory comparison dedicated to cork testing
The CIL BOUCHONS is a technical approach 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, ovality
  • Apparent density
  • Moisture content
  • Extraction force (bottle and tube)
  • Dimensional recovery after compression
Participation in CIL BOUCHONS is a paid service, which includes:
  • Sample supply
  • Data collection and statistical analysis
  • Submission of a confidential individual report
A practical tool to reinforce your quality approach and enhance your laboratory's technical expertise.
