Remarks Rapid PT studies can be conducted at any time during the year. They will not be run on a pre-defined schedule. They are run based on the specific request of an individual laboratory and based on their needs. For instance, participants may need one when they have an audit. This laboratory will be the only participant in the study. Participants will have the option to design their own study by selecting the matrix, group of analytes of interest, and appropriate concentration levels. The study is “closed” once participant data has been received. Pre-set assigned values, as per ISO/IEC 17043 requirements, will be used to assess participants’ performance. The performance summary report will be sent to participants within 5 working days of the results submission date, or as discussed. Participation in these studies will allow laboratories to fulfil the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and/or the studies can be used for method validation, to train new staff or as a tool for corrective action. The PT provider is able to run multiple Rapid PT studies simultaneously. Please email proficiency@measurement.gov.au for more information.
