Why Choose NAPT Over Other Proficiency Testing Providers?

Choosing a proficiency testing (PT) provider is a critical decision for ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and credibility of your organization’s measurement capabilities. The National Association for Proficiency Testing (NAPT) stands out as the premier choice for organizations in the metrology community. Here’s why:

1. True Independence as a Nonprofit

NAPT is the only nonprofit, metrology-focused PT provider in the industry. Our nonprofit status ensures that our mission is solely to serve the best interests of the metrology community, not to generate profit.

With NAPT, you’ll never encounter integrity issues or conflicts of interest. Transparency and impartiality are embedded in every service we provide. Our commitment to maintaining the highest ethical standards has earned us the trust and respect of organizations of all sizes.


2. Full-Time Staff and Professional Support

NAPT distinguishes itself by being the only metrology-focused PT provider with a dedicated full-time staff and professional offices located in Eagan, MN.

Unlike other providers who may operate out of shared spaces or informal settings, NAPT’s infrastructure ensures you always have access to reliable, responsive support. Additionally, we offer a network of technical advisors who are available to help resolve issues, answer questions, and provide expert guidance for a smooth and effective proficiency testing experience.


3. Free Enrollment Benefits

NAPT offers free enrollments to its members, providing substantial cost savings. For instance, members can access a complimentary intra-laboratory self-managed pH conductivity comparison, saving $395 per enrollment.

This benefit reflects our commitment to delivering practical, cost-effective solutions while maintaining the highest standards of quality and reliability.


4. Nearly Three Decades of Leadership and Experience

With almost 30 years of experience, NAPT is a trusted leader in the field of proficiency testing.

As the first PT provider for the metrology community, NAPT has set the benchmark for innovation, reliability, and customer satisfaction. While competitors have attempted to replicate our services, NAPT consistently raises the bar, maintaining its status as the gold standard through continuous improvement and unmatched expertise.


5. Data Validated by National Laboratories

NAPT is the only PT provider that collaborates with national laboratories to validate data for our PT kits. This helps ensures that reference values are assigned in accordance with the ISO 13528 international standard, guaranteeing accuracy and reliability.

If other providers are not adhering to internationally recognized standards, it raises valid concerns about the reliability of their results. At NAPT, our adherence to these standards is a testament to our commitment to delivering scientifically sound and globally recognized outcomes.


6. Industry-Leading Customer Portal

  • Seamlessly manage enrollments.
  • Conduct / Mange internal PT Programs
