HOW IT WORKS: ILC METHOD & PROCESS INFORMATION
- CLA contract (ILC
Organizer & facilitator).
- Receive the Artifact
from CLA (receive in your system “same as your customer unit”).
- Complete the testing per
instructions.
- Submit the completed
data (we recommend issuing a calibration certificate per your laboratory
procedure “same as your customer unit” with expanded uncertainty values).
- Return the Artifact to
CLA along with calibration certificate.
- CLA reviews the data
& issue the final report.
ILC – GUARANTEED LOWEST PRICE (ILC-GLP)
CAL LAB ACCESS, LLC guarantees the lowest price for Inter-Laboratory
Comparison in the USA. This applies to the “CLA Artifact” that will be sent to
participating laboratory for ILC-PT participation purposes only, other terms
and conditions apply.
RUSH INTER-LABORATORY COMPARISON
PROFICIENCY TESTING (ILC-PT)
Available at an additional cost (please contact us to

ILC PROCEDURE INFROMATION
CLA will send you the ILC-PT work instructions along
with the “Artifact” to be followed for data collection and for any special
instructions and/or precautions will be defined clearly in the associated work
instructions.
Participating Laboratory may use their established
and/or developed calibration methods / work instructions to setup and operate
the laboratory standards.
CALIBRATION STANDARDS & TEST POINTS
ILC-PT participating laboratories use the Standards
that are part of their scope of accreditation. CLA will have the right to
re-confirm and re-verify the Standards used in ILC-PT testing is part of
participating laboratory’s scope of accreditation.
Test Points:
Work Instructions of each ILC -PT defines the required
test points with any special settings to achieve them.
TURNAROUND TIME
Each participating laboratory will have five (5)
working days to complete the ILC testing from the date they receive the
ARTIFACT. CLA will monitor the tracking of the ARTIFACT.
DOCUMENTATION & TRACEABILITY
Each ILC-PT participating laboratory is required to
issue the calibration certificate with measurement data for the ARTIFACT they
receive as part of the ILC-PT program with expanded uncertainties using a
coverage factor (k=2) for a confidence level of 95 %.
Measurement data must be traceable to SI Units through
National Metrology Institutes (NMIs), such as NIST USA, NRC Canada, etc. Reported
expanded uncertainties must also be in the same units as measurements.
Measurement Data (As Found & As
Left):
As part of the ILC-PT program, CLA requests that each
participating laboratory to NOT make any repairs and / or
adjustments to the ARTIFACT.
RECEIVING & SHIPPING THE ARTIFACT
Receiving process:
Participating laboratory will be responsible to
inspect the “ARTIFACT” as soon as it delivers to their laboratory. If the
package received is damaged, take the pictures of the package and send them to
CLA on the same day for investigation and escalation purposes.
Shipping process:
It is the responsibility of the participating
laboratory to package the ARTIFACT in the same manner as it was received and to
protect it.
Complete package (including accessories) must be returned
to CLA address on their shipping account.
ARTIFACT PARTS REPLACEMENT
CLA inspects and verifies each ARTIFACT prior to
shipping it to each participating laboratory.
If you replace batteries, fuses, battery connectors,
and other replacement parts you must notify CLA in writing for traceability and
data integrity purposes.
