Abstract

In this work the Proficiency Testing Scheme (PTScheme) has been used for evaluation of the laboratories of motorcycle emissions to measure the emission levels of this kind of vehicles, supplying subsidies to the laboratories to identify and solve analytical problems and contributing for the measurement harmonization in the country. The PTScheme of automotive emissions is a type of study, provided only in Brazil and it was the first time that this procedure was carried out for motorcycles. Such proficiency test showed satisfactory results and show the importance for the industry, society and environment.
