The Proficiency Testing Program (PEP) Indelibility of Markings consists of determining the indelibility of markings on equipment that have markings made by painting or similar processes. Accredited laboratories or laboratories in the process of accreditation that carry out marking indelibility tests regardless of the applied standard may participate in the program.

The test must be done according to the participant's method.

Statistical model for evaluating the result: In this program, the Direct Comparison of the participant's result will be used, faint or not, with the consensus of the group's accredited laboratories (mode of at least 75%).

Qualabor's activities as a proficiency testing provider are carried out impartially, structured, and managed to ensure this characteristic. Qualabor also guarantees that any commercial, financial or other pressures will not compromise the impartiality of the provider. This is guaranteed by the term of knowledge and agreement signed by Qualabor employees who have activities that affect the quality of the proficiency program.

Qualabor guarantees that the identity of the participants of each program is confidential and only known by those involved in its operation, becoming public only if the participant denies its confidentiality. Qualabor also guarantees that all information provided by participants will be treated as confidential. In cases where a regulatory authority requires a result, those results will be provided directly by Qualabor, and all affected participants will be notified in writing of this decision.

EPTIS

EPTIS helps you find a suitable proficiency testing (PT) scheme for your laboratory (a PT scheme is a coherent series of single rounds). For a large number of schemes we have produced data sheets and collected them in the EPTIS database. What is not included in the database is topical information on next PT rounds. When is the next round, and what is the matrix material this time? This information is too dynamic as to be included in the database. But you can find such details for a selection of schemes in our PT calendar.

At present, a listing on the database is only open to PT providers from countries that are covered by our so-called coordinators. They check the plausibility of the data sheet submissions and decide on their publication. They speak the language and are ideally familiar with local PT providers and cultural peculiarities. This helps to safeguard a reasonable level of database quality. There is no cost for PT providers who follow this basic mechanism.
