Aims of proficiency Sample Clauses

Aims of proficiency testing schemes Essentially a proficiency testing (PT) scheme checks the competence of participating laboratories by a statistical evaluation of the data they obtain on analysing centrally distributed materials. Each laboratory is then provided with a numerical indicator of its competence - a performance index or score - together with information on the performance of the group as a whole, enabling its proficiency relative to the group to be compared and evaluated. Participation in a proficiency testing scheme also reinforces an interest in quality assurance and provides the basis for any corrective action in those laboratories whose data does not meet the required level of acceptability. Although the overall aim of proficiency testing is to encourage good performance, within the scope of this general aim a successful scheme must provide certain types of information for both the participants and the organisers. Firstly, it must enable a laboratory to compare its performance at a particular time against an external standard of performance. How accurate is the data? It must also enable a laboratory to compare its performance at a particular time with its performance in the past. Is it getting better or worse? It must enable a laboratory to compare its performance with that of other laboratories at a particular time. Within its peer group, how well does it perform? It must enable the organisers to identify the participants whose performance is unsatisfactory. This is particularly important for regulatory authorities. Finally, it must enable the organisers to see whether there is a general improvement in performance with time. Is the scheme efficacious? Is it doing its job of improving the quality of chemical measurements.
