Abstract

Proficiency Testing (PT) and Interlaboratory Comparisons (ILC) play a critical role in demonstrating the technical competence of calibration laboratories and ensuring the reliability of measurement results. Accreditation requirements, such as ISO/IEC 17025 and related policies, emphasize participation in PT/ILC programs as a key component of laboratory quality management and continual improvement. By the end of the session, attendees will gain the knowledge and tools needed to strengthen their laboratory’s PT/ILC approach, improve measurement reliability, and sustain long-term accreditation compliance.
