How to Conduct Proficiency Testing as per NABL/ISO/IEC 17025:20178

 

Proficiency Testing (PT) or External Quality Assessment (EQA) is a program in which multiple specimens are periodically sent to a group of laboratories for analysis. The purpose of such a program is to evaluate the laboratory performance with regard to the testing quality of patient samples.

​Verifying that our technology works correctly can identify potential testing issues. Proficiency testing is a part of a quality assurance program that reassures the accurate performance of our products. It's an effective tool because it not only tests our analyzers, but the testing process itself.

Proficiency Testing (PT) is the evaluation of participant performance against pre-established criteria by means of inter laboratory comparisons. For the purposes of ISO/IEC 17043:2010, the term “proficiency testing” is taken in its widest sense and includes.          

The accreditation services to Proficiency Testing Providers (PTP) is currently given in the following disciplines

Proficiency Testing

Proficiency Testing (PT) is the evaluation of participant performance against pre-established criteria by means of inter laboratory comparisons. For the purposes of ISO/IEC 17043:2010, the term “proficiency testing” is taken in its widest sense and includes, but is not limited to:

·         a. Quantitative scheme — where the objective is to quantify one or more measurands of the PT item;

·         b. Qualitative scheme — where the objective is to identify or describe one or more characteristics of the PT items;

·         c. Sequential scheme — where one or more PT items are distributed sequentially for testing or measurement and returned to the PT provider at intervals;

·         d. Simultaneous scheme — where PT items are distributed for concurrent testing or measurement within a defined time period;

·         e. Single occasion exercise — where PT items are provided on a single occasion;

·         f. Continuous scheme — where PT items are provided at regular intervals;

·         g. Sampling — where samples are taken for subsequent analysis;

·         h. Data transformation and interpretation — where sets of data or other information are furnished and the information is processed to provide an interpretation (or other outcome).

FIRE SAFETY

Image
  Fire safety is the set of practices intended to reduce the destruction caused by Fire. It includes those that are intended to prevent ignition of an uncontrolled fire, and those that are used to limit the development and effects of a fire after it starts. All of our work forces are trained to handle all fire fighting equipments and thus in case of emergency they need not depend on fire brigade to extinguish the fire to avoid destruction.   The fire is a common and serious emergency situation that security has to deal with. As a security guard, your main duty is to protect people and property but the fire can destroy both in a minute. You should manage and look over the fire hazard on your site. Mostly, the security guards are the first person to detect in the early stage of fire. In the case of fire, you have to know how to react quickly and confidently. So, you should know the available types of fire equipment and their location on your site. Not only this but also...

How to calculate combined uncertainty for NABL/ISO/IEC 17025:2017

Image
To calculate the uncertainty of your measurements, you'll need to find the best estimate of your measurement  and consider the results when you add or subtract the measurement of uncertainty. After measuring the individual uncertainty due to type A and type B, the combined uncertainty (U c ) is calculated as follows; U c  = √ (U 1 2  + U 1 2  + U 1 2 +……) Where; U 1,  U 2,  U 3  etc are uncertainties calculated with same units        Another method of combining uncertainty with different units of measure is fractional uncertainty. 1.      Identify the equation 2.      Calculate the fractional uncertainty for each contributor 3.      Calculate the combined uncertainty 4.      Convert the result to the desired unit of measure. The quantities that affects the measurand may not have a direct one to one relationship with it. Ind...
