- Abstract:
- The consistent production of reliable analytical results can be a demanding task for laboratories that must select a strategy to guarantee the quality of the released data. Among the possible strategies the partecipation in Proficiency Testings (PTs) on regular basis is one of the best ways to monitor the laboratory's performance both against its own requirements and the norm of other laboratories. In case of a consolidated network of participants, PTs can be used to harmonize their lavel of performance as well.
