Inter-Lab Collaborative Study
Background and test design
Proficiencytesting@forensicfoundations
In addition to offering a program of proficiency tests, Forensic Foundation also offers a number of inter-laboratory collaborative trial. These trials are offered where the test is still in the development phase and/or the tests is niche and/or the field of study is not currently covered by our scope of accreditation.
These trials are designed to accomplish two things.
- Increase the scope of your proficiency testing scheme and provide opportunities to grow into areas that do not currently have accredited proficiency testing.
- To work with you to design a test that YOU want.
If you can think of a proficiency test that you want, but can’t find a good supplier let us know. This is what these trials are for. If everything goes to plan we can release this trial as a proficiency test the next year.
