Comparación al desempeño del LIM-UTA, mediante la implementación de los requisitos técnicos que establece la norma NTE INEN-ISO/IEC 17043:2010 de interlaboratorio para la realización de ensayos de aptitud de inflamabilidad de acuerdo con la norma NTE INEN-ISO 3795

Abstract

This project presents the collection of information to meet one of the requirements requested by ISO/IEC 17025:2017 with the performance of interlaboratory proficiency testing based on the standard NTE INEN/IEC 17043:2010 establishing the parameters of the standard NTE INEN-ISO 3795. In the present project, comparisons were made of the performance of the Mechanical Research Laboratory of the Technical University of Ambato (LIM-UTA) in the performance of flammability proficiency tests, following the technical requirements established by the interlaboratory standard NTE INEN-ISO/IEC 17043:2010. The main objective is the accreditation and evaluation of the competence and reliability of the laboratory in the execution of the tests according to the parameters established by NTE INEN-ISO 3795. The comparison of LIM-UTA's performance was carried out following the guidelines established in the standards used. Representative samples of flammable textile materials were selected according to NTE INEN-ISO 3795 for evaluation. These samples were distributed to different participating laboratories, including LIM-UTA, in order to carry out the flammability suitability tests. At the end of the study, a report will be submitted analyzing the deviations, discrepancies and various parameters such as accuracy and the laboratory's ability to meet the limits of the acceptability criteria required by the NTE INEN-ISO/IEC 17043:2010 standard for the proficiency testing program.
