Test items are sometimes available from proficiency testing (PT) providers after the completion of a PT round. It is often unclear to laboratories whether such materials can be used for quality control, validation etc. The Eurachem PT Working Group has now published a new Information Leaflet to advise laboratories on benefits and limitations of surplus PT items..
The new leaflet is currently available in English, with other translations planned.
