Metal Alloy Proficiency Testing Program (PTP)

ISO 17043 Accredited

Most companies use traditional round-robin studies to do their QA testing. These studies are typically done with non-certified materials, and take months for final results to be returned. If there were issues in a lab, they have to go back through months of work to repair any problems. 

ARMI-MBH’s unique ISO 17043 accredited metal alloy Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) is the only program that measures your analytical performance using certified reference materials, and compares your results to the assigned reference value.  ISO/IEC 17025 accredited labs are required to monitor the quality of their results, and our PTP allows you to do that with an unbiased, confidential assessment of your analytical performance.  You get a blind sample selected from our stock of over 1400 alloys, which is relevant to your industry.  Once your analysis is complete, send us your data and we will rapidly compare your data to the CRM values, generating a statistical report showing you exactly how your lab data compares to the composite data for the material.
