Each participant obtains the test sample, instruction and protocol to be returned by the given deadline (usually two weeks).

After the results are processed and assessed, the participant obtains summary report with Z-score, usually in two alternatives based on the test SD and pilot SD derived from the newly introduced system of target performance parameters TPP-Fe and certificate of participation in PT of the National PT Programme by the Czech Accreditation Institute. Reference value is verified by the selected expert laboratories.

All participant data are handled and stored on a strictlyconfidential bases.
