Remarks PT SOUTH QUALITY SAS (Buenos Aires, Argentina) operates this interlaboratory comparison scheme in accordance with ISO/IEC 17043. Statistical evaluation of results follows ISO 13528. The scheme is intended for laboratories that evaluate electric cable conductors and resistivity (concentric-lay-stranded copper conductors, resistivity of conductor materials and ohmic resistance of conductors), including laboratories working under ISO/IEC 17025. Since its launch in 2005, the scheme has been organised annually without interruption. Over this period, more than 60 laboratories from 29 countries have participated, making each ILC exercise part of a long-standing series of comparable international results.
