Steel Testing
The aim of the Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) is to compare and evaluate the results of tests conducted on steel according to EN ISO 6892-1, EN 10 080, EN ISO 6892-2, EN ISO 148-1, EN ISO 6506-1, EN ISO 6508-1, EN ISO 6507-1, EN ISO 7438, EN 10 164 and SEP 1390. The program strives to provide objective information about the measuring skills of PTP participants. The primary criterion for participation is timely registration for the program. The prerequisites for obtaining the Certificate of Participation and the Final Report on the Results of Interlaboratory Comparison are timely fee payment and adherence to the schedule. Trade surcharge of 62 % for selected countries (Algeria, Colombia, etc.). This is a fee associated with the complexity of documents and tax administration.
