New Information Leaflet on Interlaboratory Comparisons

The joint EEE-PT Working Group has published a new Information Leaflet on "Interlaboratory Comparisons other than Proficiency testing".

The new leaflet explains the three main purposes of interlaboratory comparisons (ILCs) and how the different objectives affect the design of the comparison. This in turn has implications for how laboratories can use different ILCs as evidence of competence in meeting the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025.
