Remarks QD Labs provides ISO/IEC 17043-accredited proficiency tests with a focus on materials testing, as well as schemes in specialised fields such as forensics and SPF testing. Proficiency testing allows laboratories to verify their results against those of other laboratories. It helps them identify systematic deviations at an early stage and provides objective evidence of competence for accreditation bodies and customers, in line with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. Our partners contribute their expertise: KIMW in the preparation of sample material, and QuoData in scheme organisation, statistical evaluation and IT solutions for proficiency testing. More information about our current schemes and registration is available on our website: https://pt.qd-labs.com/en We are glad to assist with any questions that might arise.
