Abstract(s)
Proficiency testing is defined as the use of interlaboratory comparisons to determine the performance of individual laboratories for specific tests or measurements and to monitor laboratories‘ continuing performance.
The number of PTs is increasing in the last years because the result of this exercise is useful not just for costumers, but also for other interested parties, such as regulators, laboratory accreditation bodies and other organizations who specify requirements for laboratories. Hence, it is very important to organize PT with criteria, focus and quality.
The objective of this work was design of a quality system in Mat Control Laboratory of the University of Barcelona, according to the ISO/IEC DIS 17043 as a Proficient Test Provider.
The quality system proposal for Mat Control was elaborated from September 2009 to January 2010 based on the attendance and participation in PT activities carried out in the Department of Analytical Chemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Barcelona.
Fifteen documents were proposed to compose the structure of the quality system. Seven elaborated ―Standardized Operation Procedures‖ cover technical requirements of ISO/IEC DIS 17043. Instructions for a management equipment procedure shall be done considering mainly ISO/IEC 17025, and this will be a very important step to demonstrate Mat Control‘s competence to run analytical tests. Two ―General Quality Procedures‖ define elaboration, coding and management of documents. Other management requirements are contemplated in the quality manual and will be totally covered with the elaboration of instructions for four management procedures already structured.
