  abstract = {{I}ntroduction: {W}hile crucial to ensuring the production of accurate and high-quality data-and to avoid erroneous conclusions-data quality control ({QC}) in environmental monitoring datasets is still poorly documented. {M}ethods: {W}ith a focus on annual inter-laboratory comparison ({ILC}) exercises performed in the context of the {F}rench coastal monitoring {SOMLIT} network, we share here a pragmatic approach to {QC}, which allows the calculation of systematic and random errors, measurement uncertainty, and individual performance. {A}fter an overview of the different {QC} actions applied to fulfill requirements for quality and competence, we report equipment, accommodation, design of the {ILC} exercises, and statistical methodology specially adapted to small environmental networks (<20 laboratories) and multivariate datasets. {F}inally, the expanded uncertainty of measurement for 20 environmental variables routinely measured by {SOMLIT} from discrete sampling-including {E}ssential {O}cean {V}ariables-is provided. {R}esults, {D}iscussion, {C}onclusion: {T}he examination of the temporal variations (2001-2021) in the repeatability, reproducibility, and trueness of the {SOMLIT} network over time confirms the essential role of {ILC} exercises as a tool for the continuous improvement of data quality in environmental monitoring datasets.},
