This plan defines the specific calibration or test disciplines or sub disciplines for which PT will be performed during the four year period indicated. This plan includes representative sub disciplines from each calibration or test discipline for which the organization is accredited. Please refer to PL-1 regarding PJLA policy on PT.*Where third party proficiency testing or Inter laboratory comparisons are not feasible, then the organization must include other means of evaluating such as intra laboratory or repeatability studies. When these are indicated, the organization must submit their reasoning for doing so and their procedure.*

The names of the calibration and testing organizations listed are also fictitious for the same reason. *Where third party proficiency testing or Inter laboratory comparisons are not feasible, then the organization must include other means of evaluating such as intra laboratory or repeatability studies. When these are indicated the organization must submit their reasoning for doing so and their procedure. *
