Proficiency testing - Microbiology
Laboratories can objectively prove their analytical skills by participation in proficiency testing (PT) programs.
PT programs
The Swedish Food Agency has arranged proficiency testing programs for microbiology since 1981. The programs are approved by SWEDAC, the accreditation facility in Sweden, according to SS-EN ISO-IEC 17025 and SS-EN ISO-IEC 17043.
How a PT round works
- Samples are sent out to laboratories that have registered for participation.
- After analysis, participants report their results before a deadline.
- The results are statistically analyzed and put together into a report which is published on the website.
