ISO/IEC 17043 Proficiency Test Provider (PTP) Accreditation

What is ISO/IEC 17043 Proficiency Test Provider (PTP) Accreditation?

ANAB Proficiency Testing Provider (PTP) accreditation program is designed for organizations seeking to develop recognized proficiency testing schemes supporting all industries that require quality data and measurement results.

ANAB accredited PTPs demonstrate their competence in the production and evaluation of proficiency testing schemes by complying with international criteria specified in ISO/IEC 17043. This includes specific requirements for PTP scheme operations and for demonstrating competence in the planning, impartiality and confidentiality, assignment of property values, determining the appropriateness of the PT item, and statistical evaluation of PT results.

The ANAB PTP accreditation program can help assure the quality of proficiency testing data and results by accrediting PTPs to the international standard ISO/IEC 17043 and ANAB accreditation requirements based on national and international requirements.

Our goal through accreditation is to improve the quality of proficiency testing results that support all industries relying on proficiency testing activities to assure quality of their data. ANAB accreditation managers and PTP experts have practical experience in the field and are often viewed as peers to PTP personnel.
