Description

The Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) for IP Protection Protection consists of evaluating the characteristics of a sample in comparison to its protection index.

The test must be performed on the provided sample to assess whether it complies or does not comply with the protection ratings IP X5 and IP 4X according to the requirements of IEC 60529. The participating laboratory will have the option to perform the test for only one of the IP ratings or, if preferred, for both. The laboratory’s routine practice shall be used as the procedure for conducting the tests.

Objective

The main objective of the proficiency testing program is to assess the laboratories' capability in performing this test, ensuring the reliability and consistency of the results. Participation allows for the identification of possible deviations, validation of methodologies, improvement of processes, and demonstration of compliance with technical and regulatory requirements. Eligible to participate are accredited laboratories, those in the accreditation process, or those seeking to evaluate their performance in this test.

Evaluation Method

In this program, the following model will be used: Direct Comparison of Results with the Assigned Value.

Reason: Always used in proficiency testing for qualitative assays or sampling, where results are directly compared to the assigned value.

Premise: Based on ISO 13528 guidelines.

Commitment Term

Qualabor’s activities as a proficiency testing provider are carried out with impartiality, and are structured and managed to ensure this characteristic. Qualabor guarantees that the identity of the participants in each program is kept confidential and is only known to those directly involved in its operation. It will only be made public if the participant waives confidentiality. Qualabor also ensures that all information provided by participants will be treated as confidential.

Furthermore, Qualabor guarantees that no commercial, financial, or other pressures will compromise the provider's impartiality. This is ensured through the “Acknowledgment and Agreement Term” signed by Qualabor personnel who are involved in activities that affect the quality of the proficiency testing program.

EPTIS

EPTIS helps you find a suitable proficiency testing (PT) scheme for your laboratory (a PT scheme is a coherent series of single rounds). For a large number of schemes we have produced data sheets and collected them in the EPTIS database. What is not included in the database is topical information on next PT rounds. When is the next round, and what is the matrix material this time? This information is too dynamic as to be included in the database. But you can find such details for a selection of schemes in our PT calendar.

At present, a listing on the database is only open to PT providers from countries that are covered by our so-called coordinators. They check the plausibility of the data sheet submissions and decide on their publication. They speak the language and are ideally familiar with local PT providers and cultural peculiarities. This helps to safeguard a reasonable level of database quality. There is no cost for PT providers who follow this basic mechanism.
