Confidentiality Policy

All information supplied by a laboratory as part of a proficiency testing program is treated as confidential.  For each program round, each participant is assigned a code number to allow for the confidential treatment of results in all reports and publications produced by PTA. Result information may be made available to PTA Technical Advisers during result analysis, or to international evaluators during PTA’s accreditation audit. Confidentiality agreements are signed by all relevant parties.
