Objectives

This proficiency assessment program's main objectives are to confirm the competent performance of the laboratory and indicate possibilities for improvements for the IP Index Protection 4X and IP Index Protection X5 testing of the IEC 60529 standard.

Description

The Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) for IP Protection Protection consists of evaluating the characteristics of a sample in comparison to its protection index. Any accredited or in the process of accreditation laboratory is eligible to participate.

The test should be carried out on the submitted sample to assess whether it complies with IP X5 and IP 4X protection or not. The participating laboratory will have the option to perform the test on only one of the IP indices, or both tests if preferred. The laboratory's routine practice should be used as the testing procedure.

Statistical model for result evaluation: In this program, the participant's result will be directly compared to the consensus of accredited laboratories in the group (mode of at least 75%).

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.

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.
