Completed100%
Participating laboratories calibrated a circulated platinum resistance thermometer and reported their results with uncertainties. The results were evaluated against the reference values of the pilot laboratory.
Laboratories whose results fell outside the acceptance criteria received technical support and took part in a second round.
Objectives
- Run two rounds of proficiency testing in temperature
- Give every participant an evaluated result
- Support laboratories that needed corrective action
Results achieved
- Twenty-two laboratories evaluated over two rounds
- Eighteen laboratories within the acceptance criteria in the final round
- Scheme report published for accreditation bodies
