Pira Consulting
Proficiency Services
Introduction
For more than 35 years Pira has provided the paper, printing and packaging industry with comparative testing services to enable test laboratories to monitor the proficiency of their testing procedures and equipment. Many of our clients use the service as the foundation for their own ISO accreditation. Currently we provide the following services:
- Paper Proficiency
- Tissue Proficiency
- Permeability Proficiency
- Burst Test Proficiency
We can provide customised inter-laboratory comparative testing for specific company groups, and indicative value sample packs for a range of tests. Pira are also a co-ordinating, qualifying and distributing laboratory for the European CEPI-CTS service.
Reporting Results
The services provide each participant with identical sample materials and instructions on the test procedure that should be followed. They return their results, to which we apply standard statistical tests (Cochran and Grubb) and compile a full data report and personalised trend charts which are sent with the next round of samples.
