On 22 October 2012, the IEA 4E SSL Annex announced the launch of its 2013 Interlaboratory Comparison of SSL product testing. The Annex encourages laboratories that are currently testing or wish to test SSL products to participate in this exercise, which is working to investigate the Annex's test method and to verify the proficiency of laboratories worldwide for measuring SSL products. To this end, participation in the Interlaboratory Comparison may be used as evidence of the testing competence of a laboratory similar to a proficiency test for SSL testing accreditation programs by relevant accreditation bodies.
The IEA 4E SSL Annex hopes that this work could help to promote establishing SSL testing accreditation worldwide and ultimately lead to a robust and reliable international network of laboratories proficient in SSL testing so that end-users can rely on information given in test reports.
The 2013 Interlaboratory Comparison seeks to involve more than 100 SSL laboratories worldwide in this activity. To this end, a harmonised test method has been developed.
For more information on the 2013 Interlaboratory Comparison, please see the 2013 IC pages of the SSL Annex web site, where all relevant protocols and documents are available, as well as a link to the on-line application form for laboratories wishing to participate.
