The analysis of published experimental data for seven different binary liquid mixtures allows us to test the concept of universality for critical phenomena at interfaces and to compare the values of three independent universal surface amplitudes with theoretical predictions. In spite of uncomfortable large experimental error bars in the case of one surface amplitude we find agreement for five different systems and disagreement for two. For the other two surface amplitudes we obtain a marginal agreement between theory and experiment which is impeded by the lack of experimental error bars. We also test the scaling functions for critical adsorption. In view of the complexity of the data analysis the agreement between theory and experiment is satisfactory and encouraging. Experimental improvements are suggested in order to obtain more stringent tests.
