In the world of testing and calibration, the accuracy and reliability of results are non-negotiable. One key way to ensure quality and build trust is through ISO 17043 accreditation—a globally recognized standard that outlines the general requirements for Proficiency Testing Providers (PTPs).

ISO 17043 accreditation establishes the fundamental criterion for laboratories participating in proficiency testing. This accreditation signifies that your laboratory working in proficiency testing is valid and reliable. The certification means that your results are trustworthy and have international standing. Here is a simplified guide with information to help you through the accreditation process.

The general requirements for the creation, management, and expertise of proficiency testing scheme providers are outlined in ISO/IEC 17043. These specifications can serve as the basis for more detailed technical specifications for particular domains and are meant to be general for all types of proficiency testing schemes. It is commonly acknowledged that proficiency testing (PT) is a crucial instrument for proving the expertise of conformity assessment bodies. PT can demonstrate expertise and act as a warning sign for hidden or developing issues.
