Abstract
ISO/IEC 17043:2010 is a widely recognized standard for proficiency testing providers. Recently, a new version of the standard, ISO/IEC 17043:2023, has been released, which introduces some changes and improvements to the previous version. The new standard has been harmonized with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 13528:2022 standards in terms of structure and content. This article aims to provide an overview of the changes made to the standard and their implications for proficiency testing providers. The revisions include a greater emphasis on risk assessment, participant selection, performance evaluation, reporting, and data protection. These changes are intended to improve the quality and consistency of proficiency testing and ensure that results are accurate, reliable, and trustworthy.
