BMD Laboratory member of IFM QS from australia, IFM provides a programmatic approach to support consistency over time and between analysts. Your laboratory’s performance should never be judged, based on a single proficiency program.
In accordance with ISO/IEC 17043 (Cert. 3189-02), we supply real materials at concentrations and forms that closely imitate the types of materials that customers would normally submit.
We provide multiple samples because clients request multiple analyses. Some are positive, some are negative for each of the targets, which means that analysts cannot give special handling to any particular sample.
It is our view that lab analysts should treat every sample (whether customer or QA), with the same care and consideration and not massage proficiency testing samples through the system.
Proficiency Testing that runs frequently, (like our monthly schemes) ensures that every analyst can be rostered to join in. This gives lab managers insights to reality with respect to their lab performance. This approach helps provide a true reflection of your laboratory’s everyday performance.
