Why should I like to participate in a Proficiency Test?
Participation in an iis Proficiency Test allows a laboratory to compare its own performance to those of other, similar laboratories. The presence of systematic errors and/or random errors will be revealed, which allows the laboratory to take - if it feels necessary - corrective actions to improve its performance. Furthermore, the results are compared to the requirements of internationally accepted standardized test methods (ISO, EN, ASTM or other industrial standards). Each laboratory gets a performance score (z-score) for each reported test result. Hopefully, this score - given by an independent and ISO/IEC17043 accredited institute (R007) - will prove the laboratory's good performance. Proof which can be used to convince your staff, your clients and your National Accreditation Body.
