EMQN strives to keep EQA fees as low as possible and we appreciate that the costs of EQA can be difficult for some laboratories. Laboratories from countries defined and listed in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) World Economic Outlook as emerging and developing economies can apply for a reduction of the EQA fees. These laboratories can take advantage of a significant reduction in EQA fees for a period of 4 years, provided the laboratories agree to continue to participate in EQA at full cost thereafter. You can find out more and apply here.


All applications are subject to approval. Being based in a country defined and listed in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) World Economic Outlook as emerging and developing economies does not automatically guarantee acceptance. 


Reductions in scheme costs are added to accounts at the point of purchase. We cannot apply discounts after the schemes have been purchased.
