We started a comparison between different NLTE codes that calculate the statistical equilibrium in solar-type and late type stars (G - A type stars). Discrepancies between different authors analyzing the statistical equilibrium of the same element in the same atmosphere are often surprisingly large. Hence, this study was meant to nail down the origin of these differences. The preliminary results indicate that even if the atmosphere and the atomic input data is fixed, discrepancies of up to 40% in the outer atmospheric layers are still present; the main reason is the different treatment of the background opacity. Following up, we shortly discuss the completeness and accuracy of atomic data used in analyses of the kinetic equilibrium of atoms in the atmospheres of middle and late type stars.
