Participation in a recognised proficiency testing (PT) scheme is strongly recommended by accreditation bodies for laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. The important role of proficiency testing in quality assurance has been increasingly recognised in recent years, and there has been a subsequent growth in the number and range of schemes available to laboratories. Participation in PT schemes gives laboratories an objective, independent measure of the quality of their output, and is a highly effective diagnostic tool for a laboratoryяПНs quality system. It is therefore important for analytical laboratories to obtain the optimum benefit from participation in proficiency testing.
