Experimental Analytes
The purpose of experimental analytes is to gather data in order to develop acceptance criteria so these analytes can be added when these acceptance limit tables are revised in the future. Laboratories accredited or seeking accreditation in the corresponding Fields of Accreditation must participate in proficiency testing study rounds at the required frequency for the Experimental Fields of Proficiency Testing. However, accreditation status will not be based on whether the laboratory received an acceptable or not-acceptable result for the Proficiency Test Sample. Laboratory participation data will be used to determine if these Fields of Proficiency Testing should be moved to the Accreditation Table in the future.
