ASTM Proficiency Testing Programs Designed to provide participating laboratories

with a statistical quality control tool enablinglaboratories to assess their performance inconducting an ASTM test or series of tests.

It is a testing program where identicalsamples are sent to participating labswhere they are analyzed using standardtest methods and results reported forstatistical treatment

Page 3: Proficiency Test Programs and

ASTM Proficiency Testing Programs ASTM provides management and administrative

support to the program including programregistration, contract negotiations, data collectionand generation of statistical summary reports

ASTM coordinates the preparation anddistribution of test samples

ASTM provides test data reporting instructionsand electronic data report forms for recordingdata

Participation registration fees are assessed to each PTP program.

Page 4: Proficiency Test Programs and

ASTM Proficiency Testing Programs

ASTM statistical summary reports include:

Listing of all lab data

Charts and graphs

Lab data coded to maintain lab confidentiality.

Final summary reports are provided electronically toparticipants and appropriate Committee contacts.

Globally recognized programs:

Over 3,000 units of laboratory participation

Over 40% participation outside continental U. S.

Page 8: Proficiency Test Programs and

Provides data for monitoring lab strengths and weaknesses Offers ability to compare results among several test

methods measuring the same parameter (e.g., 5 testmethods for sulfur)

Residual material from these programs along with thepublished statistical data can provide useful internal QAsamples

Participation helps satisfy lab accreditation requirements Satisfactory performance can demonstrate testing

capability to customers Results and associated statistics helps ASTM validate test

method performance under real world conditions
