SAMPLE MANUFACRURE AND ASSURANCE OF SAMPLE INTERGRITY
Samples were supplied by a subcontracted organization. Homogeneity was confirmed by a subcontracted organization. IFM also held data from previous observations. All required homogeneity criteria were met.

All samples were sent via express national/international courier.
ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE
Please refer to the following pages for the assessment criteria.
DISPUTE PROCEDURE
Participants wishing to dispute their assessment, or appeal an evaluation on other grounds should submit
their appeal in writing to the program coordinator.
Please refer to http://www.ifmqs.com.au/ifm_terms_and_conditions.htm for the detailed policy.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The identity of participants and any identifying information supplied by participants is treated as confidential. Appropriate policies and procedures have been put into place to ensure this confidentiality is maintained.
Please refer to http://www.ifmqs.com.au/ifm_policy_on_confidentiality.htm for the detailed policy.
TEST INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions applicable to this testing round may be found at:
http://www.ifmqs.com.au/proficiency/instructions/16e31_Instructions.pdf
INDIVIDUAL RESULTS
Should individual test results be required, these will be provided upon request.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
IFM follows up on corrective actions of laboratories for a period of 3 months. Details for the closure
of actions can be at :

Participation Summary
⇒ 75 organisations enrolled
⇒ 73 organisations participated
⇒ 96 sets of results were submitted
⇒ 5519 individual test results were received
⇒ 2107 results were assessed
⇒ 3412 results were not assessed
⇒ 150 results were assessed as outliers
Test Assessment Criteria
• Failure of the sample (flaming or tracking)
Participants were required to report if the sample tracked or flamed. If the sample either tracked or flamed it was considered to have
failed the 50 drop test. Consensus of whether the sample passed or
failed was used to assess results. Tests were only assessed where greater than 70% consensus was met.
• Drops to failure (flaming or tracking) Where the sample failed, the 50 drop test robust statistics were
used to assess participants based on the number of drops reported
to obtain tracking or flaming, whichever occurred first. Participants
received Z scores based on the median and NIQR of submitted
results. Acceptable Z scores were |Z|<3.0.
For laboratories with equipment audit outliers, all test results were excluded from calculation of statistics, including median, inter-quartile range and consensus. All participants received assessments.
Variations to the assessment procedure will be detailed in the discussion.
• Depth of erosion When the sample did not fail the 50 drop test robust assessment was based on Z-scores as above. All results less than 1 mm were
considered acceptable when the statistically acceptable high was
less than 1 mm. Z-score are not shown when the statistically
acceptable high is less than 1 mm.

Discussion
EQUIPMENT AUDIT
Prior to commencing testing, participants were required to ensure their equipment was compliant with
IEC60112 by completing an equipment audit. A list of the responses received from this equipment audit
can be found at:
http://www.ifmqs.com.au/proficiency/reports/16e31_EquipmentAudit_Outcomes_20160429.pdf
For each Audit question being assessed, Table 1 summarises the number of laboratories submitting responses which were deemed to be incorrect, and subsequently required an explanation to be provided to
IFM. The question: Do you check the temperature of electrodes before starting each test? recorded the
greatest number of incorrect responses. IEC60112 specifies the electrodes must not be hot enough that
they have an adverse effect on the specimen. Touching the electrodes during cleaning was considered an
acceptable method of checking the temperature of the electrodes. The majority of laboratories required to provide an explanation reported that they were handling the electrodes during cleaning. Outliers for these
laboratories were closed without the need for corrective action as handling the electrodes is a suitable
method of checking the temperature.
The question: In normal use, how often is the distance separating the electrodes checked? recorded the next highest number of incorrect responses. It is a requirement of IEC60112 that electrodes are cleaned
before every sample. Some participants misinterpreted before every testing session and before every
specimen type to mean before every specimen. Laboratories that misunderstood this question, and
subsequently confirmed they clean the electrodes before every specimen, were not required to submit a corrective action.
The current status of equipment audit issues is attached as the first appendix to this report.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
The range of results submitted for both samples A and C was larger than expected. It was found that there was more variation in results received from laboratories with equipment audit outliers. Laboratories with
equipment audit outliers were excluded from statistical calculations. Additionally, due to the large range of
results, the level of consensus required for assessment of results has been decreased from 75% to 70%. A
summary of the assessments can be seen in Table 2.
Analysis of results revealed the following:
• Participants reporting sample A failing the 50 drop test at 175 V also reported the sample failing at
higher voltages. Participants reporting sample C failing the 50 drop test at 425 V also reported the sample failing at 450 V. These consistent, incorrect results may indicate systematic testing errors
within the laboratories
• However, participants reporting sample A failing at any voltage were not found to be more likely to report sample C failing at 425 V or 450 V. Within affected laboratories, the inconsistency of the false
positive “fail” test results may indicate an inability to reliably reproduce test results.
• Laboratories receiving outliers may wish to examine there methods for possible systematic errors as
well as confirming the reproducibility of their testing.
Despite this, no factor other than an equipment non-conformance was found to affect laboratories’ results.
DEPTH OF EROSION
IEC60112 states that “erosion depths of less than 1 mm are reported as <1 mm”. The majority of
participants correctly followed these instructions. Some participants reported numeric results less than 1 mm (e.g. 0.4 mm). These participants did not report results in accordance with the standard.
• In this PT program, participants reporting actual measurement values of less than 1 mm will be assessed as if they had reported “<1 mm”.
• In future rounds, participants reporting measurements less than 1 mm will be required to explain why they did not report results as specified by the standard.
