Is Your Lab Ready to Pass Proficiency Testing?

Proficiency testing (PT) is a cornerstone of ISO 17025, designed to assess the accuracy and reliability of your lab’s results compared to other laboratories.

PT is not just a requirement—it’s a powerful tool for building trust and enhancing quality performance.

💡 How to Comply with Proficiency Testing Requirements?

1️⃣ Select Accredited PT Programs: Ensure that the PT programs you participate in are internationally recognized to guarantee reliable results.

2️⃣ Determine the Appropriate Frequency: Depending on the type of tests your lab conducts, you must decide how often PT should be performed to ensure continuous performance improvement.

3️⃣ Analyze Results and Address Deviations: If PT results show any deviations, analyze the root causes and implement corrective actions promptly.

4️⃣ Document and Retain Evidence: Record all steps of the PT process, from planning to corrective actions, so your lab is prepared for audits or reviews.

🚀 Remember! Complying with PT enhances your lab’s reputation and demonstrates your commitment to the highest quality standards. Make it a priority and leverage this tool to develop your performance and achieve global accreditation.
