Proficiency Testing (PT) scheme participation allows laboratories to:

  • objectively monitor and improve the quality of their measurement results in terms of accuracy and comparability,
  • independently demonstrate the continued competency of their analytical staff, and
  • demonstrate the effective maintenance of quality assurance systems.​
NMISA is committed to supporting laboratories through the provision of PT schemes that afford participating laboratories the opportunity to regularly demonstrate their analytical measurement competence.
