Results obtained for proficiency tests during 2000-2017 period are used to verify and validate measurements method of tritium specific activity in aqueous samples. The long-term uncertainty method (LTUM) was applied to Tritium Laboratory results in order to identify the constant and proportional bias effects, stability of the laboratory routine procedure, and total error of the measurements.
