TRPT12 - Using proficiency testing in the analytical
laboratory
10 September 2008, 1 day
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 for analytical laboratories 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 therefore a highly effective diagnostic tool for a laboratory's
quality system.
It is therefore important for analytical laboratories to obtain
the optimum benefit from participation in proficiency testing.
What are the benefits?
This course will help you:
- Understand how proficiency testing works and the different
types of scheme which are available;
- Select the most appropriate scheme(s) in which to
participate;
- Participate in the most effective manner in PT schemes;
- Interpret and use effectively the results and evaluation from
PT schemes;
- Understand the statistical approaches used in proficiency
testing.
Who should attend?
- Potential and existing laboratory managers
- Quality managers
- Analytical chemists and microbiologists
- Customers and auditors of laboratories.
This course is designed for laboratory staff who have
responsibility for deciding in which PT schemes to participate, and
for the use and interpretation of PT results. It is also suitable
for customers and auditors who use PT scheme performance as a tool
in monitoring external laboratories' quality.
