- Abstract:
- In recent years proficiency testing has been used by laboratories to a greater extent to provide objective evidence of measurement capability. This paper details the different types of proficiency testing used by Proficiency Testing Australia (PTA) and explores the basic principles behind artefact selection and program design that are necessary in order to achieve an effective outcome. It also covers the analysis of results and the remedial and corrective actions necessary where problems are highlighted by a proficiency test.
