Abstract
Proficiency testing (PT) aims to provide an independent assessment of the
competence of participating laboratories. Together with the use of validation
methods proficiency testing is an essential element of laboratory quality
assurance. Proficiency testing is defined in ISO/IEC 17043:2010 as the use of
inter-laboratory comparisons to determine the performance of individual
laboratories for specific tests of measurements and to monitor laboratories
continuing performance. As described in ISO/IEC 17025, a laboratory
participation in proficiency testing activities is requirement of the standard.
Participation in proficiency testing activities also provides a valuable feedback in
internal monitoring of a laboratory’s quality system. Through these activities
laboratory can verify its competence to perform specific test.
Within the “IPA 2011 – Regional Quality Infrastructure in Western Balkans and
Turkey” project, Proficiency Testing Scheme for Drinking Water was organized by
INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC HEALTH Chemistry Group Laboratory under the
auspices of University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Electrical Engineering - Laboratory
of Metrology and Quality.
Under this study Proficiency Test PT 2 was operated in accordance with ISO/IEC
17043. Participants in PT 2 were asked to measure the amount content of
elements: Al, As, Cd, Cr total, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn and Hg, and anions:
fluoride, chloride, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and sulphate in drinking water.
