  2. What is Proficiency Testing? • The ISO definition of laboratory proficiency testing is: • “ Determination of laboratory testing performance by means of inter laboratory comparisons” • PT is a test of accuracy by comparing the laboratory results with the ‘true’ value www.Globalptservices.com

  3. Why Proficiency Testing? • Essential element of laboratory quality assurance • Comply with regulations and standards • Aid laboratory accreditation • Import/Export regulations • Meet customer requirements • Demonstrate competence www.Globalptservices.com

  4. Proficiency Testing and ISO 17025 The philosophy behind the quality assurance section of ISO/IEC 17025 is to firstly ensure that a single analyst within a laboratory is able to consistently reproduce the same result on the same sample. Secondly, the result produced by this analyst should reflect the result that would have come from any other analyst in the laboratory. Thirdly, any results from the laboratory as a whole should reflect the results that are agreed upon by many other laboratories. This is why the internal and external QC and QA clauses exist within ISO/IEC 17025. The precise way of going about proving consistency and reliability of analysis is not prescribed in ISO/IEC 17025. However, accreditation bodies have built some prescriptive clauses into their requirements to try to facilitate meeting the requirements of ISO/IEC17025 in an effective manner. www.Globalptservices.com
