ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF PROFICIENCY TESTING SCHEMES OF KOZLODUY NPP METROLOGY LABORATORIES THROUGH INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON

The article provides an analysis of the results of interlaboratory comparative tests (ICT) of the laboratories of the metrological service of the Kozloduy NPP over the past ten years. Laboratory proficiency testing is an important element of ensuring the quality of its work and one of the requirements of BDS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”. Laboratory proficiency testing through ICT is one of the most effective means of ensuring confidence in the laboratory results. By participating in ICT, the laboratories of the Kozloduy NPP receive an independent assessment of the quality of the results, which makes it possible to prove their technical competence, control and improve their activities, and, if unsatisfactory results are obtained, take adequate corrective measures.
