Proficiency testing 2017

Dear employees of the testing laboratories,

We would like to inform you about the upcoming accredited proficiency testing programme ZZ/UHL I/A,S,Q,C,H,N,V/2017, designed as interlaboratory comparison, and we hereby invite you to participate.

This PT programme is 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 Proficiency Testing Group is a proficiency testing provider No. 7014, accredited by the Czech Accreditation Institute (ČIA) in accordance with ČSN EN ISO/IEC 17043:2010. Testing laboratories now have a unique opportunity to participate in an accredited proficiency testing programme from a domestic provider. This is in line with the Czech Accreditation Institute’s (ČIA) recommendation to prioritise proficiency testing programmes that adhere to the ČSN EN ISO/IEC 17043 standard and are organised by accredited providers whose compliance has been verified through accreditation.

In the second half of this year, we will also offer a proficiency testing programme for biofuels (ZZ/BIO/A,S,Q,C,H,N/2017).
