National Institute for Food Control Proficiency testing plays a very important role in ensuring the quality of testing. Based on the results of the proficiency testing, the managers as well as the relevant members could assess the technical competence of the laboratory. Participating in proficiency testing is an evidence that a laboratory is implementing a quality management program in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025. Through the proficiency testing program, the participating laboratories themselves could evaluate their capabilities and address the causes affecting the quality of tests so as to take measures to ensure better quality assurance. This study provides a snapshot of the testing capacity of food testing laboratories within and outside the health sector based on chemistry proficiency testing conducted by the National Institute for Food Control (NIFC) in 2017.
