Eagan, MN, June 4, 2025 – The National Association for Proficiency Testing (NAPT), the most trusted name in the metrology community for providing administration, development, software tools, and support for interlaboratory comparisons, is excited to announce the new Proficiency Testing Risk Analysis Module, a breakthrough tool designed to streamline the often time-consuming and complex process of conducting a thorough risk analysis for any proficiency testing (PT) program.
Recent updates to accreditation requirements now mandate that laboratories conduct a risk assessment associated with their PT activities. These changes emphasize the need for ongoing evaluation and documentation of potential risks related to PT participation in order to maintain compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 and related standards. NAPT’s free online Proficiency Testing Risk Management Tool is the most robust, comprehensive, and user-friendly resource available today to support the metrology and quality community in meeting these evolving requirements.
This new tool not only enables any laboratory to stay in full compliance with accreditation body expectations, but also provides the framework for performing a detailed analysis of PT-related risks. Built with compliance in mind, it aligns with the requirements outlined in ILAC P9, ISO 17025 and supports the expectations of any accreditation body. This sophisticated, detailed, yet remarkably user-friendly tool is included at no extra charge as part of NAPT’s ongoing service to the metrology community.
“If you’re responsible for managing risk and ensuring the integrity of your proficiency testing participation, you owe it to yourself to look at this powerful application. It will save you hundreds of hours by automating and guiding you through a comprehensive risk analysis process,” said Richard Brynteson, Managing Director of NAPT. “Once you start using it, you’ll quickly understand why we’re so excited—and chances are, you’ll be telling all your colleagues about it too.”
