The Proficiency Testing for Detection of Transgenic Tobacco (GMO) Sub-Group aims to monitor laboratory testing performance and independent assessment of data quality by means of interlaboratory comparisons of analytical results obtained by PCR methods for the detection of GM tobacco.

The definition of the objectives was expanded in January 2024 to better cover the scope of the work of the group.
