10、10-All rights reservediiiIS0/川EC17043:2010(E)ForewordISO(the International Organization for Standardization)and IEC(the International ElectrotechnicalCommission)form the specialized system for worldwide standardization.National bodies that are members ofSO or IEC participate in the development of In
11、ternational Standards through technical committeesestablished by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.ISO and IECtechnical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest.Other international organizations,governmentaland non-governmental,in liaison wit
12、h ISO and IEC,also take part in the work.In the field of conformityassessment,the ISO Committee on conformity assessment(CASCO)is responsible for the development ofInternational Standards and Guides.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives,Part
13、 2.Draft International Standards are circulated to the national bodies for voting.Publication as an InternationalStandard requires approval by at least 75%of the national bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of pate

15、 ISO/IEC 17043 cancels and replaces ISO/IEC Guide 43-1:1997 andISO/IEC Guide 43-2:1997,which have been technically revised.ivIs02010一All rights reserved1S0/1EC17043:2010(E)IntroductionInterlaboratory comparisons are widely used for a number of purposes and their use is increasinginternationally.Typi
16、cal purposes for interlaboratory comparisons include:a)evaluation of the performance of laboratories for specific tests or measurements and monitoringlaboratoriescontinuing performance;b)identification of problems in laboratories and initiation of actions for improvement which,for example,maybe rela
17、ted to inadequate test or measurement procedures,effectiveness of staff training and supervision,or calibration of equipment;c)establishment of the effectiveness and comparability of test or measurement methods:dprovision of additional confidence to laboratory customers;e)identification of interlabo
18、ratory differences;f)education of participating laboratories based on the outcomes of such comparisons;9validation of uncertainty claims;h)evaluation of the performance characteristics of a method-often described as collaborative trials;Dassignment of values to reference materials and assessment of
19、their suitability for use in specific test ormeasurement procedures;andsupport for statements of the equivalence of measurements of National Metrology Institutes through keycomparisonsand supplementary comparisons conducted on behalf of the International Bureau ofWeights and Measurement(BIPM)and ass
20、ociated regional metrology organizations.Proficiency testing involves the use of interlaboratory comparisons for the determination of laboratoryperformance,as listed in a)to g)above.Proficiency testing does not usually address h),i)and j)becauselaboratory competence is assumed in these applications,
21、but these applications can be used to providendependent demonstrations of laboratory competence.The requirements of this International Standard canbe applied to many of the technical planning and operational activities for h),i)and j).The need for ongoing confidence in laboratory performance is not
22、only essential for laboratories and theircustomers but also for other interested parties,such as regulators,laboratory accreditation bodies and otherorganizations that specify requirements for laboratories.ISO/IEC 17011 requires accreditation bodies to takeaccount of laboratoriesparticipation and pe
23、rformance in proficiency testing.There is a growing need forproficiency testing for other conformity assessment activities,such as inspection or product certification.Mostof the requirements in this International Standard apply to those evolving areas,especially regardingmanagement,planning and desi
24、gn,personnel,assuring quality,confidentiality,and other aspects,asappropriateThis International Standard has been prepared to provide a consistent basis for all interested parties todetermine the competence of organizations that provide proficiency testing.In doing so it replaces both partsof ISO/IE
25、C Guide 43:1997.ISO/IEC Guide 43 included not only guidance on development and operation ofproficiency testing and selection and use of proficiency testing by laboratory accreditation bodies,but alsouseful descriptions of typical types of proficiency testing.This International Standard has preserved
26、 andupdated the principles for the operation of proficiency testing described in ISO/IEC Guide 43 and has retainedin Annexes A to C information on typical types of proficiency testing schemes,guidance on appropriatestatistical methods,selection and use of proficiency testing schemes by laboratories,accreditation bodies,regulatory bodies,and other interested parties.ISO 2010-All rights reserved
