ASTM&#;s Proficiency Test Program on Plastic Film Testing provides laboratories with a statistical quality assurance (SQA) tool, enabling labs to compare, improve, and maintain performance in tests on plastic film testing materials.

Conducted biannually, this program provides (for each test cycle) test specimens from two different plastic film test materials, forms to record test data, and instructions for conducting the tests. Labs are instructed to conduct the tests in their facilities using the ASTM methods cited in the program, and to record their test results on the data report form.

Each laboratory electronically submits test data to ASTM for use in generating statistical summary reports. Final reports contain:

• Coded laboratory test results
• Statistical analysis of test data
• Charts plotting test results versus lab code
• Other information

Samples, test instructions and data report forms are distributed electronically to each participant on the date samples are distributed. Labs have approximately 8 weeks to submit test data with the final statistical summary reports being electronically distributed in approximately 25 days.
