ABOUT BIPEA

(Proficiency testing provider)

Created in 1970, BIPEA is a European independent organisation certified ISO 9001 and accredited

ISO/IEC 17043.

BIPEA organises proficiency-testing programs in a wide variety of sectors such as grains, food, beverages,

feed, water, contaminants, soils, cosmetics, etc.

Present in more than 110 countries and with over 40 years of experience, BIPEA members are laboratories

concerned by control and quality (+2500 laboratories worldwide).

Why choose BIPEA?

A technical expertise officially recognised (ISO 9001 certified by LRQA, ISO 17043 accredited by COFRAC)

Over 40 years’ experience and a worldwide presence, A multi-sector activity in constant evolution, A wide range of matrices and criteria, PT programs defined by committees and technical groups composed of experts, Reports made according to ISO 13528 standard, and results validated by technical experts, Confidentiality of results.

Annual programs

In order to evaluate the analysis performance of your laboratory on a long-term basis, BIPEA offers regular programs of interlaboratory comparisons in the form of annual series. Each annual series begins in September and finishes in June of the following year. Each series is composed of various rounds. Depending on the programs, there can be one sample to analyse or more, per round. Laboratories participating in a proficiency-testing program will receive all designated samples for that program. They can choose to analyse all criteria or only those that are of interest for them.


BENEFITS FOR LABORATORIES

BIPEA participating laboratories play a crucial role!

In order to meet its member needs, BIPEA sets up regular meetings for each proficiency testing program. These committees are represented by an elected person who is also a participating member of the program. All participating laboratories are invited to join these meetings where laboratories and BIPEA staff discuss possible improvements for the PT programs: nature of the samples, shipment frequency, calculation of the assigned value, etc. These committees are also meant to promote a friendly atmosphere allowing formal and informal discussions among members of our community. These meetings are thus a major forum for exchanging technical and scientific information. The members can easily suggest improvements for the PT Program. Once they have expressed their wishes, we study the feasibility of the project, set up the final series, and fix the testing schedule.

Benefits of our proficiency testing programs

Interlaboratory comparisons meet the requirements of laboratories’ quality standards and are a strategic part of their quality system. Thus a large number of laboratories taking part in our programs join us within the framework of their accreditation/certification by official bodies. BIPEA proficiency-testing programs are more than basic tests. In fact, the main goal of our proficiency-testing programs is to prove the laboratory’s technical skills on a worldwide basis. Laboratories do not often have the opportunity and time to compare their results with others. Interlaboratory comparisons are considered fundamental: a laboratory needs to compare its testing results with the real value of a specific material, to check its accuracy. Moreover, a systematic bias or drift of test results can only be highlighted through long-term observation. In the case of unsatisfactory results, laboratories can use their results from our proficiency-testing programs as a tool for improvement. These enable a laboratory to determine the reasons for its deviation. Whether this is a one time or systematic problem of method, drift, or bias, it can be identified by an appropriate participation in our proficiency-testing programs. Thus, participating in interlaboratory comparisons set up by an external organisation such as BIPEA clearly allows confirmation of the analytical performance of a laboratory. To sum it up, BIPEA interlaboratory comparisons can help laboratories to identify sources of analytical error, taking corrective actions and improving the analytical performance on a short, medium and long term basis. Our tests can also be used for training, in order to check employees’ technical skills. Finally, BIPEA proficiency-testing programs are a key factor in laboratory quality systems and can reassure stakeholders on the good quality service of a laboratory.
