Objectives
This proficiency assessment program's main objectives are to confirm the competent performance of the laboratory and indicate possibilities for improvements for the Torsion in Toys, Party Supplies and School Supplies test of the ABNT NBR NM 300-1, ABNT NBR 15236 or ABNT NBR 13883 standards.
Description
The Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) Torsion in Toys, Party Supplies and School Supplies Specific Testing Item involves the determination of sample failure according to predefined specifications. Any accredited laboratory or laboratory in the process of accreditation is eligible to participate.
Participants must test the sample sent to them by determining if there was a rupture after the application of a predefined torque, performing a qualitative assessment. Participants should follow their internal procedures, following the standards ABNT NBR NM 300-1, ABNT NBR 15236, or ABNT NBR 13883.
For qualitative testing, Qualabor follows the following order for choice priority.
01) Direct comparison with the mode of the group - In the testing area there are no clearly defined levels of quality between different laboratories for the same test, so it is difficult to determine a laboratory with a higher quality of the test for the participants of the program. Thus, the use of a group consensus reference value is more applicable, in this case, determined by the mode because the results are qualitative to this mode a robust significance is considered when the mode is greater than 75%. As the results are qualitative, it is not possible to use evaluation tools such as the z-score or normalized error, so a direct comparison between the assigned result and the result of the participant is used. To be able to reach a group consensus with minimal robustness, these criteria will only be used for programs with 4 or more participant
02) Direct comparison with a reference value - When it is not possible to form groups for the program with more than 3 participants, or the 75% mode has not been achieved for groups of more than 3 participants, the assigned value used will be a reference value previously validated with the participants and whenever this value exists it must be obtained by an accredited laboratory.
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.
