Proficiency Testing sector (PT sector), a section of the Anti-Fraud and Controls Directorate Laboratories Office, is the first Structure in Italy to have obtained accreditation, in compliance with the UNI EN ISO / IEC 17043: 2010 standard, by ACCREDIA, which officially certifies the managerial and technical competence to organize cross-correlation circuits, called "proficiency testing".

The PT sector proficiency testing schemes, provided in full compliance with data confidentiality, aim to assess the performance of the participants and provide them with a tool to monitor and improve the quality of the analyses in the test sector to be supplied, in order to ensure that the results of its analyses meet reliability and quality criteria, whose periodic verification is essential.

The PT sector organisation, guarantees the management of the entire structural phase of proficiency testing, from the packaging of homogeneous samples to the statistical treatment of the results, up to the issue of the report with expertise, impartiality and independence.

Formerly intended for customs chemical laboratories, the proficiency testing activity has gradually aroused growing interest in the scientific structures outside the Agency; various labs, including foreign ones, both public and private, are currently participating in the schemes.

The organized circuits concern the following product categories: industrial products containing alcohol, baked goods, green coffee, textiles, beer, and illegal drugs.
