Performing Inter-Laboratory Comparisons: why and how? - CFM

Inter-Laboratory Comparisons (ILC) involve conducting tests or calibrations on the same sample by different laboratories under pre-established conditions. There are different types of ILCs with varying objectives. Proficiency tests, for example, aim to assess the performance of participating laboratories. Other ILCs evaluate the performance of a measurement method implemented by all participants. This conference cycle will test your knowledge of ILCs and provide an overview of the operation and utilization of proficiency tests.
