The National Association for Proficiency Testing (NAPT) recently announced the new Proficiency Testing Risk Analysis Module, a breakthrough tool designed to streamline the often time-consuming and complex process of conducting a thorough risk analysis for any proficiency testing program.
Recent updates to accreditation requirements now mandate that laboratories conduct a risk assessment associated with their PT activities. These changes emphasize the need for ongoing evaluation and documentation of potential risks related to PT participation in order to maintain compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 and related standards. NAPT’s free online Proficiency Testing Risk Management Tool is the most robust, comprehensive, and user-friendly resource available today to support the metrology and quality community in meeting these evolving requirements.
This new tool not only enables any laboratory to stay in full compliance with accreditation body expectations, but also provides the framework for performing a detailed analysis of PT-related risks. Built with compliance in mind, it aligns with the requirements outlined in ILAC P9, ISO 17025 and supports the expectations of any accreditation body. This sophisticated, detailed, yet remarkably user-friendly tool is included at no extra charge as part of NAPT’s ongoing service to the metrology community.
