Protocols for Improving the Proficiency of Material Testing Laboratories in Mozambique - PTS First Round: Baseline Report
Proficiency Testing Scheme is developing a baseline for the precision limits for the common tests on road building materials
Abstract
AfCAP is supporting the implementation of a pilot project for Proficiency Testing in selected laboratories for material testing in Mozambique. The overall objective is to establish laboratory testing that is in line with international practices and standards and test results that can be used with confidence.
The Proficiency Testing Scheme (PTS) is developing a baseline for the precision limits for the common tests on road building materials. The baseline will be used to assess laboratory capacity and identify where constraints lie and where specific training and other interventions may be required. It is expected that participating laboratories will ultimately become accredited to the International Standards Organisation’s standard ISO/IEC 17025.
This project is funded by DFID under the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
