Additional tests are bought in conjunction with a Proficiency test. Each additional test will receive a unique test identifier and the relevant paperwork.

The test will be undertaken using the proficiency test samples (assuming the original testing is non-destructive) and the results will be submitted for review and inclusion in the final report.
