PROFICIENCY TESTING

Measurement results have a direct impact on the expected outcome of processes or quality of products manufactured. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that measurement results are reliable.

Proficiency Testing (PT) is an effective way to gauge and confirm the measurement capability of a laboratory or quality assurance department. ISO17025 specifies that accredited laboratories and those that wish to become accredited need to undergo PTs regularly.

NMC provides PTs that cover a wide scope of areas such as pressure, mass, temperature, electrical, optical, dimensional, time, and acoustics. Companies may also approach NMC for customised ad-hoc PT, whenever required. Hence, calibration, testing, R&D, and company’s in-house calibration laboratories who are interested in the PTs, please refer to the schedule below and contact us at nmc_mstc@a-star.edu.sg .
