BeveragePT schemesSUPS - Sugar schemeThe Sugar <strong>Proficiency</strong> Testing Scheme (SUPS)is suitable for all laboratories concerned withthe quality of sugar, particularly manufacturersof sugar and sugar products and the soft drinksindustry.All matrices are sourced from commercialmanufacturers as cane or beet sugar andmolasses. Participants receive test materialsquarterly for monthly analysis and reportingof results.SUPS is the only scheme designed to providesugar analysts with information relevant to themethods of analysis used to define the qualityof sugar. It is based on the use of specifiedmethods available in the ICUMSA (InternationalCommission for Uniform Methods of SugarAnalysis) Methods Book that have undergoneinternational validation.Test materialSugar is traded all around the world and it istherefore essential that those laboratoriesanalysing sugar for trade purposes know exactlyhow they perform when carrying out theseanalyses. SUPS provides data which helpswith identification of any performance issueswith respect to the methods used and providesevidence of competence for individuallaboratories.The full range and availability of test materialsin SUPS is determined on an annual basis andfurther details can be found in the SUPSapplication form and scheme description.Cane or Beet SugarAnalytesChemical:Arsenic, Ash, Colour, Copper,Iron, Lead, Reducing Sugars,Reflectance Grade, Sulfur Dioxide,Turbidity.Sediment:Sediment (insoluble),MolassesLyophilised MaterialChemical:Dry Substance, pH, Sucrose,Reducing Sugars.Microbiological:Total aerobic mesophilic count,Osmophilic Yeast and Mould,Yeast and Mould.Note: Test materials and analytes may be added or removed, pleasesee current application form.38 Tel: +44 (0)161 762 2500 Fax: +44 (0)161 762 2501
