Description

The Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) for Power and Current in Household Appliances consists of measuring the power and current in household appliances designed for domestic use, with a supply voltage of 127 [V] and 60 [Hz].

Two groups of appliances with similar characteristics have been selected. Each group will be represented by a specific appliance for testing purposes. Participants may choose one or more groups to perform the test, according to their scope:

Objective

The main objective of the proficiency testing program is to assess the laboratories' capability in performing this test, ensuring the reliability and consistency of the results. Participation allows for the identification of possible deviations, validation of methodologies, improvement of processes, and demonstration of compliance with technical and regulatory requirements. Eligible to participate are accredited laboratories, those in the accreditation process, or those seeking to evaluate their performance in this test.

Evaluation Method

In this program, the following model will be used: Z'-Score.

Reason: Primarily used in proficiency testing for assays and sampling when there is no accredited and widely recognized assigned value. In this case, the assigned value is determined by the consensus of the participating accredited laboratories. It is preferred over the Z-Score whenever possible and is mandatory when the uncertainty of the assigned value exceeds 1/3 of the round’s robust standard deviation.

Premise: Based on ISO 13528 guidelines.

Commitment Term

Qualabor’s activities as a proficiency testing provider are carried out with impartiality, and are structured and managed to ensure this characteristic. Qualabor guarantees that the identity of the participants in each program is kept confidential and is only known to those directly involved in its operation. It will only be made public if the participant waives confidentiality. Qualabor also ensures that all information provided by participants will be treated as confidential.

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.
