Introduction to Interlaboratory Comparisons

, 2022
AbstractThere are two types of interlaboratory comparison studies: proficiency tests, which aim at monitoring the proficiency of laboratories, and test performance studies (TPS), which aim at evaluating the performance of (a) specific test(s) and whether it (they) is (are) fit for purpose. This booklet covers only TPS organisation.
