ASTM Proficiency Testing Programs Designed to provide participating
laboratories with a statistical quality control tool enabling laboratories to assess their performance in conducting an ASTM test or series of tests.
It is a testing program where uniform samples are sent to participating labs where they are analyzed using standard test methods and results reported for statistical treatment
September 2008
ASTM Proficiency Testing Programs ASTM provides management and
administrative support to the program including program registration, contract negotiations, data collection and generation of statistical summary reports
ASTM coordinates the preparation and distribution of test samples
ASTM provides test data reporting instructions and electronic data report forms for recording data
Participation registration fees are assessed to each PTP program.

ASTM statistical summary reports include:
Listing of all lab data
Charts and graphs
Lab data coded to maintain lab confidentiality.
Final summary reports are provided electronically to participants and appropriate Committee contacts.

ASTM's Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL)ASTM Committees C01 on Cement and C09 on Concrete and Aggregates sponsor the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL). CCRL is located at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
as a cooperative program between ASTM and NIST. CCRL operates proficiency sample programs in the following construction materials areas: portland cement, blended cement, masonry cement, hydraulic cement concrete, pozzolans, concrete masonry units, and masonry mortar. Visit the CCRL web site on ASTM web page for more information.

PROGRAMS
September 2006
Provides labs with a QA tool to compare their performance versus other labs worldwide
Provides data for monitoring lab strengths and weaknesses Offers ability to compare results among several test methods
measuring the same parameter (e.g., 5 test methods for sulfur)
Residual material from these programs along with the published statistical data can provide useful internal QA samples
Participation helps satisfy lab accreditation requirements Satisfactory performance can demonstrate testing capability
to customers Results and associated statistics helps ASTM validate test
method performance under real world conditions
September 2008
ASTM Proficiency Testing Programs
