Calibration

An inter-laboratory comparison may be cumbersome to plan and align amongst other laboratories. Pt-Gamma can facilitate the direct communication and planning of an inter-laboratory comparison study between two participating laboratories. The intercomparison exercised will be organized and planned by Pt-Gamma as a coordinating body.

In accordance with ISO/IEC 17043 guidelines, the coordinating body Pt-Gamma will design the ILC scheme and ensure the following:

  • A documented plan of the ILC scheme comprising of the ILC objectives, purpose, and requirements
  • The preparation of the test items and assurance of its homogeneity and stability
  • The design of a statistical evaluation program to meet the objectives of the ILC scheme and the nature of the testing data
  • The distribution of the items and coherent communication between the participants throughout the ILC program

The ILC scheme can be arranged for laboratories involved in calibration activities. To facilitate an ILC scheme, a calibration laboratory must request Pt-Gamma to act as a coordinating body in the organization, planning, and assessment of an ILC amongst consenting ILC participants.

To put in this request, a calibration laboratory must email info@pt-gamma.com and include the following information:

  1. Request for ILC- calibrated analytical instrument
  2. Submission of ISO/IEC 17025 certificate and Scope of accreditation
  3. Nature of sample(s) to be analyzed
  4. Specific measurement range/ target range assigned for post-calibration validation
