What is Proficiency Testing?
DRIVING QUALITY TOGETHER
WHAT IS PROFICIENCY TESTING? Proficiency Testing (PT) is a mechanism for objectively evaluating a laboratory’s performance by the use of independent external means, and includes regular comparisons of a laboratory’s measurement or test results with those of other laboratories. PT is widely recognised as an essential tool for demonstrating the competence of laboratories, providing the infrastructure for a laboratory to monitor and improve the quality of its routine analytical measurements. PT can provide both evidence of competence and an indication of an underlying or emerging problem.
WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A PT SCHEME? Test items Real/simulated materials, properties, concentrations, reporting units. Distribution Frequency, flexible participation, fit for purpose. Reports Speed, language, information, format, evaluation criteria, confidentiality. Participants
National/international, number, methods being used, type of laboratory. Results Deadlines, format, choice of method, reportability of measurement uncertainties, statistical approach. PT provider Scope of PT schemes offered, feedback/assistance provided, quality (accreditation), provision of surplus/ repeat test items.

LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing Schemes 2027
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PT PARTICIPATION? • Identifying measurement or test problems • Comparing methods or procedures • Comparing operator capabilities • Comparing analytical systems • Improving performance • Verification of method performance • Educating staff • Instilling confidence • Assessing measurement uncertainty • PT test items as internal quality controls
WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN INTERPRETING PT RESULTS? Putting performance into wider context • The overall results in the round • Measurement or test method performance • Test item factors • Bimodal result distribution • PT scheme factors Trends in PT performance • Performance over time • Common groups of properties
• Performance of methods • Performance of analysts PT performance errors
• Non-analytical errors – transcription, units, format, calculations • Analytical errors – calibration, methodology, property, sample extraction/clean-up, test items, analyst
ACCREDITATION & PT Proficiency Testing (PT) is a requirement for accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 15189. Using an accredited PT provider gives you assurance in the quality and reliability of the service. LGC is a UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) accredited proficiency testing provider (ISO/IEC 17043) No. 29821. In addition, we are certified to ISO 9001. The most up-to-date sample data can be found in the Scheme Descriptions and Application Forms.

Local support
LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing is a global leader in proficiency testing solutions, but our teams are local. We support local laboratories, with local PT experts, who can assist in local language. Whether that is needing advice on which PT scheme best meets your requirements, or questions surrounding test results or shipments, we have a team on the ground to support.
Real-world test materials
LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing, where possible, offers real-world samples whose analytical results are comparable with routinely tested samples. LGC AXIO PT offers the widest range of microbiological organisms, and our analytes are available at a range of concentrations, offering you the closest match to your routine samples.
Investing in your lab’s future
LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing moves with the times, continuing to invest and develop our PT schemes and associated test materials to meet your laboratory’s future needs. This year we have released over 50 new proficiency tests and have updated dozens of others to meet new industry challenges and ever-changing regulatory requirements.
Flexibility in your participation
LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing is proud to supply over 2,700 proficiency tests every year. Many of our test materials are offered multiple times over a 12-month period, and some of our most popular proficiency tests are available up to 12 times a year. This means your laboratory can choose when to participate and at a frequency that suits you.
Flexibility in your reporting
When participating in an LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing scheme, our reporting system PORTAL enables you to submit up to 13 results per analyte, allowing you to compare results between different analysts, methods or instruments. All of the results will receive performance scores, although only 3 nominated results, using different methods, contribute to the statistical analysis.

The LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing Process
How to select a scheme Details of each scheme are provided in the LGC AXIO PT Catalogue, the Application Forms and the PT Webshop. They provide information about the distribution dates, the sample format, matrices, analytes, and the costs of participation. A Scheme Description is also available, providing technical and statistical information specific to that scheme.
How to join a scheme In order to join a scheme, participants should complete the relevant Application Form, indicating which test materials they wish to receive during the scheme year. Alternatively, the participants can register
Order confirmation Once a participant has joined a scheme, an Order Confirmation will be sent to the requester, which confirms the tests materials selected and distribution dates. Participants can amend an order up to one week prior to the distribution date, subject to test material availability. Any amendments to a participant’s order will be confirmed to them in writing.

Food Microbiology QMS
“The most extensive analyte range in the world…” Food poisoning outbreaks are not just dangerous for consumers, but also potentially ruinous to consumer confidence, brand reputation and value, as well as company profitability. At their worst, with the potential to cause serious illness and even death, responsibility for outbreaks can be met with civil or criminal charges. Laboratories performing microbiological testing of food must therefore maintain constant vigilance in their ability to detect potential pathogens, indicator organisms, and spoilage – as well as demonstrating that their results are accurate and meaningful enough to form part of a robust quality assurance programme. To support laboratories across the world with this dual challenge, the LGC AXIO PT Food Microbiology Scheme provides the most exhaustive offer on the market in terms of analytes – including routine pathogens and indicators, as well as rare analytes like Shigella , psychrotrophic bacteria, osmophilic yeast and mould or probiotic bacteria. QMS also supplies a wide variety of matrices reflecting the real-world range of substances that our participating laboratories demand – including a wide selection of samples where Salmonella is the target analyte, but also more specialised items requested by our customers.

Food Chemistry QFCS
“Encompassing more than 500 analytes and over 100 individual samples…” International food safety regulations have evolved to reflect the incredible variety of foods that modern technology allows us to enjoy year-round, all around the world. Since the goods we produce can contain potentially harmful chemicals from multiple sources, extensive laboratory testing is fundamental for food safety and stability, as well as quality and customer satisfaction. Our Food Chemistry Scheme (QFCS) is an extremely diverse programme aimed at supporting labs to demonstrate their capability over a vast range of food analytes, and ensure their regulatory compliance whatever the market they are selling in. Encompassing more than 500 analytes and over 100 individual samples, QFCS provides participating laboratories with a holistic, full-product approach that not only takes in pesticides, allergens, toxins, trace elements, etc., but also packaging, nutritional analysis and subtler aspects of quality – including authenticity for herbs and olive oil.
Types of testing:
Additives Nutritional Information Pesticides Contaminants Allergens Foreign bodies Elements
Oil and Fat Quality Authenticity/Quality
Food Labelling Food Contact Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)
