Proficiency testing 2015

Dear employees of the testing laboratories,

We would like to inform you about the upcoming proficiency testing programmes, which are designed as interlaboratory comparison tests, and we hereby invite you to participate. These PT programmes are intended for testing laboratories that conduct tests on solid fossil fuels, including lignite and black coal. The programme is open to all laboratories within the energy, mining, and metallurgical industries, as well as research and service facilities.

The PT programmes at SZZ ORGREZ, a.s. are developed in accordance with the application of the ČSN EN ISO/IEC 17043 (01 5264) standard, Conformity Assessment – General Requirements for Proficiency Testing. The PT/COAL/A,S,Q/2015 programme is being conducted as part of the accreditation process overseen by the Czech Accreditation Institute, o.p.s. The objective is to meet international standards for proficiency testing as defined by ISO/IEC 17043, while promoting a competitive and healthy environment for interlaboratory comparisons in the field of solid fuels.
