Fertilizers Program
ABOUT THE PROGRAMS
Target Lab Systems Proficiency Test Program for Fertilizers provides participating laboratories with a statistical quality assurance (SQA) tool, enabling them to compare the performance of their test methods for fertilizers against other laboratories worldwide.
Samples, test instructions and data report forms are distributed to each participant on the date samples are distributed. Labs have approximately 2-4 weeks to submit their test data to Target Lab Systems for use in generating statistical summary reports.
TARGET LAB SYSTEMS handle all data on a strictly confidential basis with no disclosure of lab identity except for one's own laboratory. Final reports contain all laboratory test data (coded), statistical analysis of test data, charts plotting test results versus lab code, and other information.
WHY SHOULD YOUR LABORATORY PARTICIPATE?
This program provides you with:
• The resources you need to satisfy proficiency testing elements of laboratory accreditation
• A useful quality control tool to monitor the strengths and weaknesses of laboratory performance
• Periodic comparison of test results and calculated statistical parameters with others in the fertilizers testing community in Egypt
• A useful quality reference sample upon completion of testing
