HOW TO MONITOR PERFORMANCE IN PROFICIENCY TESTING

Philip Briggs

Abstract

Proficiency testing provides objective evidence of laboratories testing competence. Laboratories quality control procedures can monitor the validity of tests and calibrations undertaken by measuring continuing performance in multiple rounds of a proficiency testing program. Such monitoring will allow laboratories to identify problems, check for testing bias and other trends and review the effectiveness of corrective actions where problems were highlighted by a proficiency test.
