Proficiency testing and quality assurance
Proficiency Testing (PT) is an important element of laboratory quality assurance. For Official Control analyses or for analyses where accreditation of laboratory methods to recognised international standards such as ISO/IEC 17025 is required, regular participation in relevant PT is an expectation of auditors and accreditation bodies.
This section contains information on the annual PT programme for laboratories undertaking analyses, and reports from previous PT schemes. It also contains guidance on performance assessment, troubleshooting and recommended follow-up activities.
