Proficiency Testing (PT) Log

A log to track participation in PT schemes and ILCs, including results and follow-up actions.

Overview

Clause 7.7.2 requires participation in proficiency testing or interlaboratory comparisons. You need a 4-year plan and a record of results.

Features

  • 4-Year Plan: Map out which tests/methods will be covered by PT over the accreditation cycle.
  • Result Tracking: Record the Provider, Round ID, Date, and Result.
  • Z-Score Analysis: Track the z-score (performance score).
    • |z| ≤ 2.0: Satisfactory
    • 2.0 < |z| < 3.0: Questionable (Warning)
    • |z| ≥ 3.0: Unsatisfactory (Action Required)
  • Action Link: Link to a Corrective Action Request (CAR) if the result is unsatisfactory.

Why Use This?

Accreditation bodies (ABs) always ask for your PT plan and results. This log keeps it organized and demonstrates compliance.
