ICA Bremen Cotton Round Test 1- in Cooperation with Bremer Baumwollboerse carried out by Bremen Fibre Institute (FIBRE) Explanations: test material The sample material is generally unprocessed cotton lint without additional homogenisation from varying origins with a wide spectrum of properties. The Bremen Fibre Institute (FIBRE) usually avoids origins with high result variations. In this Round Test the cotton is: Cameroun (RM ) The variation of the utilized cotton was measured at the Bremen Fibre Institute (FIBRE) with an Uster HVI 1 with 1 tests on samples from 1 different layers with the following results: HVI HVICCS SD between bale layers (based on 1 tests per layer) SD between single tests (based on 1 times 1 tests) Mic,1,3 Strength, g/tex,197,78 Length, UHM, inch,5,15 Length, UHM, mm,17,391 The test material is not suitable as a reference for calibration. result evaluation The results of the participating laboratories for one test method and one parameter are grouped in one table implying that the used instruments yield comparable results despite different instrument types or different national standard test methods. The results are partitioned in different tables as soon as significant differences appear. Based on the compilation of the results, an identification of outliers is carried out, which is according to Grubbs Test for Outliers described in ISO 575 with one slight modification: the algorithm is applied repeatedly to ensure that all outliers are excluded. All outliers are marked by putting the result in brackets. The statistical parameters for all tables and characteristics are calculated after the exclusion of outliers. For the usage of the statistical data, the different numbers of repetitions in each lab have to be considered.

assessment of the laboratory performance From the results, the bias of each laboratory can be calculated. Stability and repeatability cannot be assessed. The ICA Bremen Cotton Round Test does not include any benchmarking or rating of the laboratories and their results. Rather the results can be used by each laboratory to evaluate its own performance. For estimating a bias to results of other laboratories, please calculate the difference between your result and either the average or the median of all laboratories (after exclusion of outliers). For evaluating the bias, the z-score calculation may be applied: z your value average( or median) StdDev If the z-score is between -1 and 1 your lab belongs to the better 8% of all labs and no measures are necessary. In the z-score range of - to are 95 % of all values. The closer your z-score is to (-) the more urgently it is to take measures to improve performance. If your z-score is above (below -) a basic revision of all conditions will be necessary. For assessing permanent deviations, please monitor all deviations in subsequent ICA Bremen Round Tests or in comparison to other round trial programmes like the CSITC Round Trials or the USDA HVI Checktest. laboratory numbers The laboratory numbers for each laboratory are confident. The numbers are usually kept constant for subsequent Round Tests. In case that any laboratory has doubts in the anonymity of its number, a new laboratory number should be requested. In case of more than one instruments of the same type, an adjunct number or character is given (e.g. 13-1 and 13-). In order to distinguish between your instruments, please provide specific adjunct characters for each of your instruments with your data sheet. registration and participation To register a new laboratory to the ICA Bremen Round Test, please send the laboratory s contact details to Mrs Hannelore Gerardi contact details provided below In the case that a laboratory does not send any results back for a whole year s period, we have to exclude it from the participants.

choice of test methods included in the round test The ICA Bremen Round Test strives to include every commonly used test method. Test methods will remain included as long as sufficient participant numbers are given, although the Bremen Fibre Institute (FIBRE) maintains the right to exclude methods. Proposals for the inclusion of new methods/instruments/parameters are appreciated. For this, an adequate number of long term participants should be given. Test methods for stickiness are excluded due to difficulties in sample provision. improvement of the ica bremen cotton round test Any proposals for improving the Round Test are highly appreciated. For this, please contact Mr Axel Drieling contact details provided below. important notes Please take care to fill in all the necessary information on the test forms (e.g. the test methods, the instrument types and the number of repetitions for each test). Please provide one or two reliable e-mail addresses to Mrs Gerardi - contact details are provided in the last section.
