Dependable test results aren’t an accident. The best labs test themselves regularly and AATCC Proficiency Testing Programs help you do just that. Anonymously gauge your laboratory’s performance against that of hundreds of others around the globe. Register for any or all programs.

For each program, AATCC sends samples twice a year to participating labs with instructions. Labs submit their test results online and AATCC compiles the data in a summary report. The report is distributed to participating labs with a code to identify their data.
Certificates of Participation are issued at the end of the calendar year to all participating laboratories. This is of importance to many companies wishing to show that they are striving for continual improvement.
