Contents

The 2000 edition of "Selection, use and interpretation of proficiency testing (PT) schemes by laboratories" was prepared by the Eurachem Nederland task group "Proficiency testing schemes" (part of the working group on "Interlaboratory Studies"), and the Laboratory of the Government Chemist (LGC), United Kingdom, in part supported under contract with the UK Department of Trade and Industry as part of the National Measurement System Valid Analytical Measurement (VAM) Programme.

The document represented the current state-of-the-art with respect to the selection and use of proficiency testing schemes, and the interpretation of results and evaluations given in proficiency testing schemes. Although aimed  primarily at staff in analytical laboratories, it is also useful for customers of laboratories, assessors working for accreditation bodies and other external users of PT scheme results.
