Performance Evaluations

Gas quality mismeasurements can introduce financial discrepancies which can lead to litigation. EffecTech^® offers performance evaluations of analytical instrumentation and inspection of gas quality measurement systems to help customers maintain confidence in analytical measurements used to calculate the physical properties. These measurements ultimately determine the commercial value of the gas, which is vital for the long-term successful operation of a custody transfer / fiscal measurement system.

Proficiency Testing

If your laboratory holds ISO 17025 accreditation, then regular participation in a proficiency testing scheme is a mandatory requirement. In addition, proficiency testing schemes (also known as ‘round robin’ schemes) provide participating laboratories with an objective way of assessing their performance (bias, stability, and repeatability) by a series of regular inter-laboratory comparisons.

What is a proficiency testing scheme? How do they work?

Laboratories seeking to demonstrate their high quality standards to customers and other stakeholders can use their proficiency testing scheme results as evidence.

EffecTech’s proficiency testing schemes attract participants from all over the world. EffecTech is an ISO 17043 accredited proficiency testing scheme provider. By participating in an EffecTech scheme, you are guaranteed that:

• All data, including the names of participating laboratories and individual performance results, will be kept strictly confidential
  • Only the submitting laboratory will receive feedback on their performance
  • Performance data will be reported to the whole group anonymously
• All data processing and verification is carried out by EffecTech, an independent laboratory.
