Date Posted: 3-3-2011
Drinking Water, Non-Potable Water, and Solid & Chemical Material Experimental Fields of Proficiency Testing (FoPT) tables have been removed from the TNI website. The removal of the Experimental FoPT tables from the website effectively removes the NELAP requirement to perform Experimental PTs. A memorandum explaining the change can be found on the TNI Fields of Proficiency Testing webpage. Accreditation questions concerning this removal should be directed to the appropriate Accreditation Body. The PT Executive Committee will be providing PT Providers and PT Provider Accreditors with transition procedures early next week.
