What are the Proficiency Testing Requirements of the FQS-I Program?
Apart from complying with the requirements of any applicable community consensus standard for proficiency testing, such as the requirements of the National QA Standards for DNA Testing, all you have to show is an effective proficiency testing (PT) program as part of the way that you control your quality. You have the options of internal programs and voluntary inter-laboratory collaborative trials as well as purchasing from external sources. The use of standards and certified reference materials are considered along with your PT program.
