Proficiency tests

Our services as provider of proficiency tests

Due to its long-term experience in the field of metrology, ZMK & ANALYTIK GmbH was also able to realize an accreditation for proficiency tests (comparison measurements, ILCs) according to ISO / IEC 17043.

We offer proficiency tests (comparison measurements) for a variety of measuring quantities for which we are also accredited as a calibration laboratory (ISO / IEC 17025). This ensures our technical competence.

ZMK & ANALYTIK GmbH takes on the tasks of the pilot laboratory, these are:

  • Planning and organization
  • Selection and provision of the profiency test object
  • Preparation and agreement of the working description with the participants
  • Implementation and control measurements
  • Evaluation and reporting using statistical methods.

Why proficiency tests are needed?

Proficiency tests (comparison measurements) on the area of metrology are:

  • a measure of validation of calibration procedures
  • a need to maintain the own competence
  • an important criterion for auditors in assessing this competence

Multilateral proficiency tests are mainly agreed in the technical committees of the DKD.

Our complete range of services for proficiency tests can be found in the annex to our current accreditation certificate (D-EP-15186-01-00).
