PROFICIENCY TESTING

In order to assess its technical competence, the laboratory guarantees participation in national and/or international Proficiency testing.

Proficiency testing (PT) is a test used to evaluate the performance of a participant against pre-established criteria using inter-laboratory comparisons, i.e. the performance and evaluation of measurements or tests on the same or similar materials by two or more laboratories in accordance with pre-established conditions.

Participation in Proficiency Testing is not only a prerequisite for obtaining Accredia accreditation, it is also a tool used by Chemiservice to provide additional confidence to its customers, as it serves to continuously monitor its analytical processes.
