The Proficiency Testing Program (PEP) in PH Measurement by the Electrometric Method consists of determining the pH of a liquid solution (water, ammonia, milk, etc.), with any accredited laboratory or laboratory undergoing accreditation being eligible to participate.
The participant must proceed as in his/her practical routine, the laboratory will receive the sample and the test will be carried out in triplicate, the results, mean and uncertainty of the triplicates must be informed to Qualabor.
The test will take place simultaneously with the other participants on a date defined by Qualabor.
Qualabor guarantees that the identity of the participants of each program is confidential and only known to 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.
For this quantitative test, Qualabor will use the Normalized Error method with the reference value. The designated value is derived from recognized Certified Reference Material.
This program, in addition to having the objective of meeting the requirements of guaranteeing the validity of the results by evaluating the proficiency of the laboratory, is a tool for validating the measurement uncertainty of the laboratory for this test, as the Normalized Error method evaluates this condition.
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 tensions will not compromise the impartiality of the provider. This is guaranteed by the "acknowledgment and agreement term" signed by Qualabor employees that 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.
