Quality: overview proficiency tests March and April

Proficiency tests are part of the daily activities of Primoris. These are independent checks on the quality of laboratory analysis. Based on the results of these ring tests, the performance of the analytical method is evaluated and, if necessary, improved. Some of these ring tests are undercover tests in order to meet the highest possible quality standards.
