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.

·         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).
