Workshop for the evaluation of proficiency tests and method validation studies with PROLab

The workshop will focus on the relevant international standards: ISO 13528:2015 Statistical methods for use in proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparison, ISO 5725-2:1994 Accuracy (trueness and precision) of measurement methods and results as well as ISO/IEC 17043:2010 Conformity assessment - General requirements for proficiency testing.

The requirements of the standards regarding the planning and evaluation of proficiency tests and interlaboratory comparisons for method validation are introduced to the participants with PROLab based on practical examples. The participants benefit from the know-how of the QuoData experts who are involved in international standardization. Furthermore, the workshop’s key topics include homogeneity and stability testing, the Hampel estimator as well as the method-specific evaluation of PT data.

The workshop is suitable for organizers of interlaboratory and proficiency tests who want to deepen their knowledge about the statistical evaluation and interpretation of interlaboratory test data.
