Verify, Improve, and Certify Your Organization’s Performance with TCR Tecora® Programs
Quality assurance in laboratory performance is not only a relevant requirement for the laboratories themselves and their clients, but also represents a fundamental element for a broader range of stakeholders: from regulatory authorities (such as ARPA) to accreditation bodies (ACCREDIA), and even to organizations that define the general competence requirements for testing and calibration laboratories.
The European co-operation for Accreditation (EA) emphasizes the importance of increasingly integrating these activities and their results into the demonstration of competence, ensuring transparency and reliability.
In this context, Proficiency Testing (PT) serves as a key tool within quality assurance programs.
For TCR Tecora®, acting as a PT provider means actively contributing to the maintenance and verification of the performance of laboratories involved in sampling and analysis in the field of emissions from stationary sources, strengthening confidence in the results and supporting scientific excellence.
