3、o monitor the consistency and comparability of alaboratorys test data.Participation in proficiency testing programs provides laboratories with an objective means ofassessing and demonstrating the reliability of the data they are producing.Although there are severaltypes of proficiency testing progra
4、ms,they all share the common feature of the comparison of testresults obtained by two or more laboratories.One of the main uses of proficiency testing programs is to assess laboratories ability to performtests competently.This will involve the preparation of the test specimens,calibrating or validat
5、ing thetesting equipment,performing the tests and reporting the data.Bodies assessing the technical competence of testing laboratories normally require or expectsatisfactory participation in proficiency testing as evidence of a laboratorys ability to produce reliabletest results.1.Scope1.1 This guid
6、e outlines the Proficiency Test Program forFabrics.Elements for planning the proficiency test program,selecting the sample fabrics to be used,the testing protocol,and the calculations for the data to be reported are included inthis practice.1.2 The planning of the proficiency test program requires a
