Alcoholic Drinks (DAPS)

"From whisky to wine, our alcoholic drinks proficiency testing scheme helps ensure consistency, safety, and quality"

LGC AXIO's DAPS Alcoholic Drinks proficiency testing scheme covers a wide range of alcohol-containing products - including whisky, dark and light spirits, cream and non-cream liqueurs, wines, ciders, fruit-based alcoholic beverages, and ready-to-drink cocktails.

Whilst alcohol content testing remains key for many laboratories, DAPS features many other types of analysis that affect the flavour and safety of alcoholic drinks – including sugars, gravity, original gravity, colour, higher alcohols, ethyl carbamate, NDMA, cast extractives and fatty acid esters. It is also an alcoholic drinks proficiency testing scheme that encompasses heavily regulated products like whisky and the specialised testing required for drinks such as cider and wine. Successful participation in DAPS can help safeguard your laboratory’s analytical performance and deliver consistently safe and high-quality drinks, as well as protect brand value and customer loyalty.
