Objectives

This proficiency assessment program's main objectives are to confirm the competent performance of the laboratory and indicate possibilities for improvements for the Torque in Screws of Eletrical Connection test applied to equipment/items that are subjected to this type of test.

Description

The Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) for Torque in Screws of Electrical Connection consists of determining the failure of bolts after applying a certain torque. Any accredited or accreditation-seeking laboratory that performs independent tests regardless of the applied standard is eligible to participate.

The test must be performed on the received sample by applying a predetermined torque to evaluate whether there will be a failure in the item, conducting a qualitative analysis to determine whether a rupture has occurred. The participant must act according to their practical routine. Any alteration that prevents the subsequent use of bolted connections, such as broken bolts, deterioration of bolt head slots (making it impossible to use the appropriate key), threads, washers, or stirrups, is considered a failure.

Participants must have torque wrenches that apply a torque between 0.2 and 1.4 [Nm].

Statistical model for result evaluation: In this program, Direct Comparison of the participant's results with the consensus of accredited laboratories in the group (minimum mode of 75%) will be used.

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.
