Welcome to Eurachem
Selecting the right proficiency testing scheme for my laboratory
Content
EURACHEM through its Proficiency Testing Working Group has produced an information leaflet to help laboratories select the most appropriate proficiency testing schemes. Several PT schemes are often available for the same area of testing, so this leaflet focuses on key questions that can help laboratories choose those PT schemes that are best suited for their needs.
This second edition updates the leaflet to reference current guidance on PT.
