Objectives
This proficiency assessment program's main objectives are to confirm the competent performance of the laboratory and indicate possibilities for improvements for the Insulation and Creepage Distance test applied to equipment/items that are subjected to this type of test.
Description
The Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) for Isolation and Creepage Distance involves the measurement of isolation and yield dimensions of a sample specifically designed for this test. Accredited or accreditation-seeking laboratories are eligible to participate.
During the test, measurements of isolation and yield dimensions should be taken for laboratories that measure small dimensions, with maximum values of 50 [mm]. Participants should follow their usual procedures, using ISO IEC 60664 and IEC 60950-1 as references.
Statistical model for result evaluation: In this program, the Z' score statistical method will be used, comparing the participant's result with the robust mean of the accredited laboratory results in the group.
The activities of Qualabor as a proficiency testing provider are carried out with impartiality, structure, and management to ensure such characteristic. Qualabor guarantees that the identity of participants in each program is confidential and only known by those involved in its operation, becoming public only if the participant denies their confidentiality. Qualabor also ensures that all information provided by participants will be treated as confidential.
Qualabor also guarantees that any commercial, financial, or other tensions will not compromise the impartiality of the provider. This is ensured by the "acknowledgment and agreement term" signed by Qualabor's employees who affect the quality of the proficiency program.

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.

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.
