Final Results from an Accredited Resistance Proficiency Test (original) (raw)

2005

Abstract

Proficiency Testing is an excellent way to assure the quality of tests and calibration results produced by a calibration laboratory. A properly constructed proficiency test is an independent and objective assessment of the participant's measurements and reporting of results. This presentation discusses the development of a resistance proficiency test (PT) that has been accredited by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). The PT is intended to validate measurement uncertainties of participating laboratories in the range of 8 parts in 10 6 to 100 parts in 10 6 . The PT design, development, execution, quality assurance, analysis and report of results will be discussed. Anonymous data will be presented for the laboratory results of the proficiency test, and there will be a discussion of common mistakes that laboratories have made that cause unacceptable test results.
