The Ultrasound Thickness Measurement Proficiency Testing (PEP) Program consists of the inspection of an ultrasonic metal cube by inspection bodies. The cube is not regular, with each face having a different thickness. Any accredited or accredited participant is eligible for participation.
Participants should measure the thickness of each metal face using the ultrasound technique, expecting an approximate value between 2.00 and 16.00 [mm]. The participant must act according to his / her practical routine and the Instruction Manual previously sent by Qualabor.
In this program the Z-Score or Z'-Score will be used as a statistical model to evaluate the result. The reference value will be obtained through an Accredited Laboratory.
Qualabor's activities as a proficiency test provider are performed impartially, structured and managed to ensure this feature. Qualabor guarantees that the identity of the participants of each program is confidential and only known to those involved in its operation. Qualabor also warrants 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.
