Proficiency Services Auto-Quote

Smithers Pira offers a range of comparative testing services ideal for paper manufacturers, converters and printers. We currently include over 40 different standard tests which cover the physical, structural and optical properties of paper.

The service is provided as an annual subscription with samples available up to six times per year. Customers are provided with test materials which are assessed/measured using the customer's normal laboratory procedure. The results are then returned to Smithers Pira for statistical analysis and interpretation.

The need for ongoing confidence in laboratory performance is not only essential for laboratories and their customers but also for other interested parties, such as regulators, laboratory accreditation bodies (eg for ISO 17025) and other external auditors.
