8 8 Benefits of proficiency testing Why take part in proficiency testing? Participation in proficiency testing schemes is required by international standards or national facilities, organizations and customers Your benefits in DRRR proficiency testing schemes Objective and independent impression of your quality and your performance of your routine testing method compared to the other participating laboratories Participants can compare, assure and improve their own performance and quality against other laboratories worldwide Saving the costs, because you have the opportunity to analzye more samples and more parameters in one proficiency testing Laboratories can recognize how well they have been completed with the applied method compared to the other laboratories External demonstration of your performance with the results of the proficiency testing Saving on the costs of testing Unquestionable lab performance towards customers, authorities and certification authorities Saving on the costs of lab development and maintenance Saving on the costs of lab development and maintenance Saving on production costs by avoiding waste of raw material Build up of your own external quality assurance system with our statistical tools (contains statistical control charts, MS-Excel evaluation files and reference materials). With these tools incorporated your external quality assurance rays unmatched confidence Detailed planning and organization of your proficiency testing and an easier, faster and better communication with us Image source: istock.com/3dts

9 9 Statistical methods We work according to: ISO Guide 31 / 34 / 35 Homogenous and stable sample material DIN EN ISO/IEC / / ISO Laboratory performance: by calculation of the following paramters: z-score Calculation of precision data acc. to ISO in many proficiency testing schemes z'-score CRD-Wert Statistical models: Depending on the type of the distribution of the data, different statistic models are used: Selection of statistical method with the chi²-fit test Binomial distribution Log-normal distribution Normal distribution Sensible statistics Sensible statistics with outlier elimination Robust statistics Method-specific evaluation according to the reference method (if available) Additional extended method evaluation (in case data are available)

10 10 Z'-score > 2: What to do? You are not satisfied with your laboratory performance: What can you do? New: The bilateral proficiency testing (bpt)! Due to your showed laboratory performance you have been asked by the accreditation body, the monitoring authority or your customer to initiate measures to improve your laboratory performance. These measures are often connected with considerable efforts in the laboratory and you only have a short time frame. In many cases the proof of a successful measure processing, by participation in a new proficiency testing round, is only possible in the following year. Until now it does not exist a possibility for a spontaneous performance review to equalize a previous unsatisfactory proficiency testing result. You can book and perform individually and flexibly the bilateral proficiency testing during a determined time period. You receive a proficiency testing sample for analyzing. You submit the results of the testing. After that you will get your proof of performance as a z -score calculation in the form of a certificate within 1-2 weeks. The performance evaluation refers to the previous regular proficiency testing, so that you can connect the bpt to the regular proficiency testing round. The used sample material is derived from a previous proficiency testing round and provides the possibility of a comparable performance evaluation with the regular proficiency testing. Your terms and conditions: You have participated in the regular DRRRproficiency testing and you would like to verify your performance. The report of this proficiency testing is not older than ten weeks. You register within these ten weeks for the bpt and the performance is confirmed by the DRRR. The testing period is dependent on the technical factors (parameter, matrix etc.) and will be agreed individually*. When this time is over after the sample shipment and you do not have sent us your results in this time, we can not evaluate your results and issue a certificate for you. (* normally not longer than 1-2 weeks) The bpt is not in the scope of accreditation of the DRRR. The realization of the bpt depends on the availability of the material. Costs for the bpt 75,00 + sample material and shipping costs Alternative you can also order reference material.

11 11 Proficiency testing Features The microbiological proficiency testing rounds are characterized by the application of vegetative microorganisms and lyophylisates. This means that we are exclusively working with Vegetative microorganisms living bacteria living yeasts and moulds in our real matrices. Testing with matrix reference Through the use of vegetative microorganisms we ensure that the bacteria have an actual matrix reference and the participants can use their own nutrient media and their internal testing method in a real system of matrix and microorganism. Matrix reference Use of mono germ systems we substantially apply mono germ systems which means that only 1 germ or bacterium has to be analyzed in the corresponding proficiency testing. Due to that fact we are able to avoid unrequested negative effects caused by other microorganisms during the analysis and the following evaluation of the results. Mono germ systems Statistical evaluation Take advantage of our statistical evaluation system. The evaluation of the proficiency testing is based on the highest scientific and statistical level. Therefore the participating laboratories have a very precise feedback on their actual performance. Evaluation Laboratory Measurement By using our market-leading statistical evaluation, information such as laboratory uncertainty and various scattering of each laboraotires can be presented. Market-leading statistical evaluation
