The document discusses several Regional Soil Laboratory Networks (RESOLANs) that have been established under the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) including: - SEALNET in South Asia which was established in 2017 and has developed regional soil testing standards and participated in proficiency testing. - LATSOLAN in Latin America and the Caribbean established in 2018 which has also developed regional standards and participated in proficiency testing. - AFRILAB established in Africa in 2019 which is working to harmonize standards and participate in global proficiency testing. - Discussions to establish networks for the Pacific, Europe/Eurasia, and Near East/North Africa are also mentioned. The
![• 2nd LATSOLAN meeting in March 2019 (Mexico City,
Mexico):
- Endorsement of regional SOPs
- Review of PT results
- Define the position of LATSOLAN in GLOSOLAN
• 3rd LATSOLAN meeting in Brazil [date and venue TBC]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/templategsp7paresolan-190607144959/85/Regional-Soil-Laboratory-Networks-RESOLAN-8-320.jpg)
![• All Pacific and PNG laboratories and the ASPAC executive
committee have agreed to establish the Regional Soil
Laboratory Network for the Pacific under ASPAC
• All laboratories are registered as members of ASPAC for 2019
• Funding has been sourced for the Pacific labs to participate in
the last round of the ASPAC ILPP (for labs not already
participating)
• A few selected laboratories will participate in the global PT
2019
• First official meeting in September 2019 [TBC]
