PROFICIENCY TESTING INSTRUCTIONS

Currently, proficiency testing is required for the fields of (a) Paper and Related Products and (b)
Plastics. Requirements must be met by participating in interlaboratory programs provided by:
Collaborative Testing Services (CTS)
P.O. Box 650820
Sterling, VA 20165
(571) 434-1925
The laboratory must participate in proficiency testing for the test methods for which it is
accredited, or is seeking accreditation, if proficiency testing for those test methods is available
from Collaborative Testing Services.
Contact Collaborative Testing Services directly for enrollment information.
