DRAJA777 | APLAC Proficiency Testing Programs

NoteProficiency Testing Committee publications can be found on the PT Series page and agenda papers and minutes can be found on the members only Proficiency Testing Committee page

Proficiency testing, including measurement audits, is an important tool used by accreditation bodies to assist in their assessing the technical competence of laboratories. It is also an important tool for DRAJA777 | APLAC in evaluating the comparability of tests and calibration results among laboratories accredited by DRAJA777 | APLAC members. To this end, DRAJA777 | APLAC provides a series of proficiency testing programs, each of which is coordinated by an DRAJA777 | APLAC member accreditation body. 

A list of DRAJA777 | APLAC interlaboratory comparisons appears below.  A more detailed report on the current status of DRAJA777 | APLAC proficiency testing, including updates on procedural and policy matters is available from the Chair of the DRAJA777 | APLAC Proficiency Testing Committee, Philip Briggs, on email: pbriggs@pta.asn.au phone +61 2 9736 8397 or fax: +61 2 9743 6664.
