Proficiency tests

Introduction

Proficiency testing determines the performance of individual laboratories for specific tests or measurements and is used to monitor laboratories’ continuing performance. Proficiency testing is also called interlaboratory comparison. Proficiency testing compares the measuring results obtained by the participating laboratories.
