ISO/IEC 17043 Conformity assessment — General requirements for proficiency testing
ISO/IEC 17043 is an international standard that outlines requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of proficiency testing (PT) providers. Proficiency testing involves organized schemes where laboratories or testing organizations analyze provided samples (e.g., materials or artifacts) to evaluate their performance, detect biases, and ensure measurement accuracy.
Covers all types of PT schemes, including quantitative and qualitative testing, across various sectors (e.g., medical, environmental, food, and forensic testing).
Implementing this standard enhances trust and efficiency in conformity assessment processes. It helps PT providers demonstrate high-quality operations, benefiting both providers and participants (e.g., labs).
